®RIEGL VZ-40003D Very Long Range Terrestrial Laser Scanner with Online Waveform Processing

Terrestrial Laser Scanning

visit our website www.riegl.com

This 3D VZ-Line Laser Scanner offers superior and unrivaled

long range measurement performance of up to 4 000 m

reflectorlessly while still maintaining completely eye safe

operation (Laser Class 1).

RIEGL s unique V-Line technology is based on echo digitization

and online waveform processing and is the key to enable such

extreme long range measurements. The VZ-4000 operates

even in poor visibility and demanding multi target situations

caused by dust, haze, rain, snow, etc. which are frequently

found in difficult environments such as mine sites.

Modes of Operation:

• stand-alone operation with integrated graphical user inter-face via 7“ touchscreen

• remote control VNC Viewer with any standard tablet PC ormobiledeviceviaWiFi

• remoteoperationwithRiSCANPROonanotebookviaLANorWiFiconnection

•customized operation by third party tools / applicationsbasedonRIEGL swelldocumentedinterfacesandscannerlibraries, e.g. RiVLib

Typical applications include

• Topography & Mining • Long Range Monitoring • Civil Engineering • Archaeology

• very long range up to 4 000 m

• eye safe operation at Laser Class 1

• wide field of view, 60° x 360°

• high speed data acquisition up to 222,000 meas. / second

• high accuracy, high precision ranging based on echo digitization and online waveform processing

•multiple target capability - unlimited number of targets

• optional waveform data output

• built-in calibrated digital camera

• on-board inclination sensors

• integrated L1 GPS receiver with antenna

• integrated compass

• built-in SSD data storage media

• compact and rugged design

This panoramaimage in combination with precise 3D measurements produced by theVZ-4000 enables the creation of photorealistic virtual models for geolo-gical and geotechnical investigations of pitwalls and geological features.
