Topcon GLS-2200 Multi-Functional 3D Laser Scanner (3 Configurations Available)
Manufacturer: Topcon Positioning Systems
The Topcon GLS-2200 Series is a family of professional-grade terrestrial 3D laser scanners designed for surveyors, engineers, construction professionals, forensic investigators, mining operations, transportation agencies, and geospatial specialists who demand high-speed point cloud capture without sacrificing survey-grade accuracy.
The GLS-2200 Series consists of three purpose-built models designed to meet different project requirements:
-
GLS-2200S – Short-Range Scanner
-
GLS-2200M – Medium-Range Scanner
-
GLS-2200L – Long-Range Scanner
Each scanner delivers the same intuitive workflow, survey-grade accuracy, HDR imaging, MAGNET® Collage compatibility, and rugged field design while offering different scanning ranges to suit your specific applications.
Unlike conventional terrestrial laser scanners, the GLS-2200 allows survey-style setup using backsight orientation, placing every scan directly into the project coordinate system and dramatically reducing office registration and post-processing time.
Whether you're documenting buildings, collecting as-built conditions, scanning bridges, mapping highways, monitoring mines, or capturing large industrial facilities, the Topcon GLS-2200 provides one of the industry's fastest and most efficient reality capture solutions.
