(Leica Geosystems: Heerbrugg, Switzerland) -- Leica Geosystems announced at the Hexagon 2011 Conference (held June 6–9 in Orlando, Florida) the new Leica ScanStation C5 Laser Scanner for fast, complete, as-built and engineering surveys. The compact, scalable Leica ScanStation C5 provides professionals with a combination of legendary Leica Geosystems quality scan data with a significantly lower cost of scanner ownership. These advances not only address today’s scanning professionals, but also address organizations wanting to enter into laser scanning to diversify and improve their current business.

Leica ScanStation C5 is a fully integrated, cable-less system. The scanner has an easy-to-learn onboard interface with high-resolution-color touch screen and integrated high-resolution zoom video. It features a laser plummet and tribrach mount and interfaces to standard survey accessories such as TPS batteries, total station prisms, and even the Leica GPS SmartAntenna. Thus, even professionals new to High-Definition Surveying (HDS) will find it easy to learn and work with the Leica ScanStation C5.
