September 30, 2008 -- Through a worldwide distribution network, including the UK’s 3D Laser Mapping, Riegl has launched the latest range of innovative laser scanners for 3D mapping from the land, air or road. Using high-speed laser pulses to capture millimetre accurate measurements at ranges of up to 500 metres the V-Line range is set to revolutionise mapping, surveying and monitoring projects. The scanners combine state of the art technical functionality with ease of use and exceptional field performance. The V-Line range are the first laser scanners to offer online full-waveform analysis, digital processing and exceptional data capture rates

“The V-Line range offers significantly improved technical performance coupled with Riegl’s trademark usability and field compatibility,” commented 3D Laser Mapping’s Managing Director Dr Graham Hunter. “Its launch in the UK has already generated significant interest from both traditional markets including as-built surveying, civil engineering, city modelling and environmental monitoring.”

The Riegl V-Line range of laser scanners combines for the first time the highest accuracy and reliability of measurement with online full waveform analysis and complete digital processing. With scanning rates up to 100 scans per second and pulse repetition rates up to 200 kHz the range also delivers multiple, unlimited target capability and a range of additional options including camera, cableless operation and additional data storage. The V-Line range also includes interfaces for GPS, networking and mobile operation together with high precision time stamping.

Riegl has over thirty years experience in the research, development and production of laser rangefinders, distancemeters and scanners. Primarily a technology company Riegl specialise in producing technically innovative solutions for specific applications working in partnership with organisations such as 3D Laser Mapping to produce powerful turnkey solutions for multiple fields of application.

3D Laser Mapping is a specialist in laser scanning solutions, the Riegl Premier Distributor for the UK, Ireland and sub-Saharan Africa and the leading distributor of TerraScan software. 3D Laser Mapping integrates laser scanner hardware systems with their own software and peripherals to create robust solutions for sectors such as mapping, mining and manufacturing.
