Due to innovative developments, the maximum range of the new terrestrial 3D laser scanner Z+F IMAGER® 5016 has been extended to up to 360 m (1,180 ft) - thus establishing new opportunities and applications. The maximum measurement rate of more than 1 Mio. points/sec. guarantees highly accurate results even with long distances.
Its 360° x 320° field-of-view assures great coverage of the scanned area, reducing the number of scan positions necessary to a minimum.
The scanner is classified as „eye-safe“ according to laser class 1 and can therefore be used in public areas without any restrictions.
The terrestrial laser scanner Z+F IMAGER® 5016 is equipped with an integrated positioning system, which allows the automatic registration in the field, with or without targets. All preprocessing tasks can be taken care on the fly, increasing efficiency. Please read the ”real-time registration” section of this brochure for more information. In addition, the scanner comes with an integrated HDR camera, which allows the user to quickly capture colour information - even in challenging lighting conditions.
Based on the high quality laser scanner Z+F IMAGER®, Zoller + Fröhlich GmbH and DMT GmbH & Co. KG have developed an explosion proof 3D laser scanner. The Z+F IMAGER® 5006EX pioneers surveying in underground mining and industries where explosive atmospheres occur. The Z+F IMAGER® 5006EX is the world´s first ATEX approved 3D laser scanner for use in mining and industrial applications under explosive conditions. The Z+F IMAGER® 5006EX is class I and class II approved according to ATEX directive 94 / 9 / EG. The ATEX directive 94 /9 / EG "Equipment and protective systems intended for use in potentially explosive atmospheres" is a European standard. The ATEX approval for this equipment is widely accepted outside the European community as well.
The Z+F PROFILER® 9020C is the world's first mobile 2D laser scanner with integrated cameras.
The P9020C has four integrated cameras, each with 5 MPx, which cover the entire 360° scanning area as of a distance of 40 cm. The recordings have high color fidelity and a high dynamic range. Significant differences in light conditions are compensated in such a way that the processing of the images afterwards takes short time or is completely eliminated. Shaded or overexposed areas can hardly be seen in the colored 3D representations.
The P9020C's built-in cameras allow for quick installation. Only a USB 3 cable is required for the transmission and control of the system components. Fewer cables also mean less susceptibility to errors and, conversely, more security when collecting data. In addition to this efficiency and data security, a high degree of flexibility was taken into account during development. The construction of the P9020C corresponds to that of the P9020. This means that the scanners can be exchanged in just a few minutes, depending on their area of application.
In contrast to external cameras, the permanently installed cameras of the P9020C do not need to be calibrated. The cameras and the scanner are perfectly matched and ready to use upon delivery. The components are also synchronized fully automatically during installation, so that the image and measurement points match exactly. The high accuracy and the low parallax are further optimized by the compact design.

In detail, the blue workflow® allows the users to carry out the following work steps in the field:
With the new blue workflow®, several scanners can be used simultaneously in one project.
With the multi-scanner principle, all scanners work on the same project file and synchronize with a Windows tablet.
The new module provides project planning tools and establishes direct communication and a feedback loop between field and office.
During the planning stage, the project coordinator can start with an empty project, loading in groundplans or aerial photography and can enrich the project plan with annotations, images, documents and audio recordings. Also tasks can be defined and assigned to the individual field teams. In addition, it is possible to plan scan positions to get an overview about the total duration of the project.
During a project, all data, including scans and images can be exchanged via an FTP server or cloud-folders (e.g. Dropbox). This allows providing a status report to the supervisors back at the office, who can also comment and send feedback back to the field. It is also possible to start the processing of the partial data in the office, while the team is still out in the field acquiring more scans.
The Office Link module and features are available to all Z+F LaserControl® Office and Scout packages, including Z+F LaserControl® Office Elements.
