A corporation has taken complete control of distributing the Topcon product line in Canada, as a result we no longer recommend purchasing their products as their customer service and parts availability for us as a service and sales business is problematic. Please contact us and we will recommend equivalent quality products from other manufacturers that we proudly sell and service that you can rely on. Thank you

Topcon GLS-1500 Laser Scanner

Topcon’s GLS-1500 laser scanner leaves nothing behind—except the competition. The operator-friendly design allows for quick and hassle-free setups which saves time and improves productivity. With batteries and data collector on-board, Topcon’s GLS-1500 is lightweight and cable-free. Transportation is a cinch. While other laser scanners take two people to unload, setup, operate, and load, the GLS-1500 is a one-man instrument.
Small size, big performance
This robust scanner sends out a laser beam that captures data at 30,000 points per second at a range of 500 ft. (150m) to a typical surface, and with an extended range to 1100 ft. (330m) for more reflective surfaces. Unique to Topcon’s GLS-1500 is the mechanical ability to select from multiple lens arrays to control the laser beam. This provides consistent 0.16 in. (4mm) accuracy throughout the range from 3 ft. to 500 ft. (1m to 150m).
Feature packed...
On-board Data Collection
The GLS-1500 has an on-board data collector with an LCD display and a 21-key keyboard. This gives the scanner the freedom to function as a stand-alone laser scanner with no connection to a computer
Eye-safe and Efficient
Use the GLS-1500 anywhere without worrying about damaging the eyes of a passersby. The GLS-1500 uses an invisible, Class 1, eye-safe laser. Scan near airports, busy traffic, and populated areas with no effect to the people or the environment. In addition, the use of a Class 1 invisible laser offers the benefit of low power consumption. With lower power consumption, the GLS-1500 can operate at longer times with fewer battery changes.
Built-in 2.0 Megapixel Digital Camera
Reduce the amount of equipment needed in the field with the GLS-1500’s built-in 2.0 megapixel digital camera. Collect sharp and detailed images from the scanning location, or connect to a PC with ScanMaster software, and stream a live video feed of the jobsite to aid in scan setup and data acquisition
GLS-1500 features also include:
Advanced technology in an operator-friendly design: Precise Scan Technology
The GLS-1500 integrates pulse-based time of flight and phase-based technologies to achieve industry-leading accuracy and “clean” scan data.
The GLS-1500 inherently has:
Dual Axis Compensators The use of dual axis compensators allows for more accurate instrument setups and scans. Occupy a known coordinate and backsight so traversing within one coordinate system is possible. Compensators can be turned off for tiltable mounts.
On-board Lithium-ion Batteries The GLS-1500 uses four hot-swappable batteries, two per side. With the lower power consumption of the Class 1 laser, the GLS-1500 can operate for 4 hours doing a continuous scan on one set of batteries at a temperature of 68°F (20°C).
