Riegl VZ-400

The new RIEGL VZ-400 3D laser scanner provides scanning with high accuracy and speed in the near infrared region of the spectrum. The scanner is able to perform high-precision measurements thanks to echo digitization algorithms, real-time waveform analysis, which allows to achieve very high measurement performance, even in difficult atmospheric conditions and in the presence of multiple echoes. The laser scanning mechanism is implemented using a rapidly rotating polygonal mirror.

The RIEGL VZ-400 laser scanner is a very compact and lightweight device that can be oriented arbitrarily, even in tight spaces.

Laser scanner control modes:

autonomous operation without using a laptop, management and configuration is carried out through the built-in interface
control with any device equipped with a WLAN module and an Internet browser, via a wireless WLAN interface or via TCP \ IP protocol (iPod, PDA, laptop, etc.)
convenient command interface for integrating the scanner into a mobile scanning system
export to post-processing programs

Laser scanner interfaces:

built-in machine interface to control the scanner without a laptop
high-resolution TFT display 3.5” 320x240 pixels, anti-scratch and glare-resistant glass, multilingual interface
Water and dirt resistant keyboard with large, comfortable buttons
microphone for system messages

Advantages of laser scanner VZ-400:

Very high performance
wide field of view controlled during scanning
high precision and resolution
multiple reflection mode
independence from atmospheric conditions
high definition digital camera stand
built-in tilt sensors and laser plummet
built-in GPS receiver
LAN, WLAN, USB 2.0 interfaces
8 GB built-in flash memory

Scanner hardware configuration:

range: up to 500 meters
laser class: 1
resolution: 5 mm
performance: up to 125000 points/sec
field of view: 1000x3600
data interfaces: WLAN\LAN
control via laptop or built-in interface
portable, reliable device

High definition digital camera:
Optionally, the scanner can be equipped with a high-resolution digital camera Canon EOS 450D (12.2 Megapixels; USB interface), which allows you to color the point cloud in true color.


The combination of three components - laser scanner, RiSCAN PRO software and digital camera - gives the following results:

automatic generation of true color triangulation meshes
photorealistic reproduction of objects in 3D mode
accurate part identification
online point cloud measurement
simplification of cameral interpretation

Registration in the project coordinate system:

registration without stamps:
- through the built-in single-frequency GPS-receiver, with positioning accuracy up to 2.5 meters
- using built-in tilt sensors (range +\-100, accuracy 0.0080)
- built-in compass (magnetic sensor)
- MSA adjustment software module
registration by marks is carried out using detailed scanning of reflective marks with their subsequent registration in the RiSCAN PRO program
registration at a known station:
- installation at a known point using a laser plummet
- use of tilt sensors
- detailed scan of a known remote object
- registration at the back point
Additional power supply:

Convenient battery design in the form of a compact disc with protected contacts and short circuit protection
rechargeable during scanning with an external power supply
built-in microcontroller
easy connection to the scanner body
power supply voltage 11 to 32 V DC
