TERRESTRIAL LASER SCANNING

The RIEGL VZ-1200i: Expanding the VZ-i Series with High-Speed, Long Range, and Maximum Efficiency

RIEGL presents a new, powerful member of its well-proven product line of professional terrestrial laser scanners, the RIEGL VZ-1200i. The system was developed specifically for users who need a longer range without sacrificing the speed, precision, and reliability of the RIEGL VZ-i series.

The extremely fast and 6 kg lightweight laser scanner expands the portfolio with greater range and mobility, offering maximum versatility, productivity, and performance for demanding applications. It complements existing solutions rather than replacing them, giving professionals additional flexibility in their daily work.

The RIEGL VZ-1200i is a Class 1 eye-safe laser scanner that combines exceptional range with very high scanning speed. A high-resolution panoramic scan is performed in just 25 seconds in the 2.2 MHz measurement program, reaching distances of up to 450 m. In the 300 kHz measurement program, ranges of up to 1800 m are possible.

The ability to perform kinematic data capture further increases its versatility: Like the other VZ-i Series Laser Scanners, you can use the VZ-1200i either in static mode – with tripod offset approximately every 60 seconds (6 mm resolution at 10 m, including simultaneous photo capture)–or in kinematic mode on mobile platforms with RTK-GNSS accuracy.

That’s true versatility – for a broad range of applications, especially when you need to combine static and kinematic data acquisition, long range coverage, and highly detailed data in one mission.
