(Leica Geosystems: Heerbrugg, Switzerland) -- Leica Geosystems has announced the HDS7000, a new phase-based laser scanner that allows users to take advantage of ultra-high-speed scanning for more as-built survey applications on more sites. The HDS7000 features key enhancements over its predecessor, thanks to its rugged design, excellent environmental specs, and low-noise data:

• Graphical on-board user interface
• Reduced range noise at longer ranges
• Class 1 laser for sites that require this classification
