RIEGL VQ-250

The new “Full Circle” laser scanner RIEGL VQ-250 is a very high speed, non-contact profile measuring system using a narrow infrared laser beam and a fast line scanning mechanism, enabling full 360 degree beam deflection without any gaps. High-performance pulsed laser ranging, based on RIEGL's well-proven echo signal digitization technology with subsequent online waveform analysis results in superior measurement capabilities even under adverse atmospheric conditions and in excellent multiple target echo discrimination.

The RIEGL VQ-250 is a compact and lightweight scanner, mountable in any orientation and even under limited space conditions on land based vehicles, tunnel measuring devices, watercrafts, etc. The instrument needs only one power supply and provides discrete line scan data, directly stored on a computer system, via the integrated LAN-TCP/IP interface. The binary data stream can easily be decoded by user-designed software using the available software library RiVLib.

Applications:

  • Mobile Mapping
  • Tunnel Profile Measurement

Note: In Germany and in the U.S.A. only, use of the VQ-250 for other applications than Mobile Mapping and Tunnel Profile Measurement is not permitted.
