Heerbrugg, — September 07, 2009 — Leica Geosystems announces the completely new Leica ScanStation C10, the company’s biggest leap forward yet in laser scanners for as-built and topographic surveys. The compact, all-in-one Leica ScanStation C10 provides users with a combination of even greater versatility, reduced cost of ownership, and even higher productivity for scanning. These advances not only address today’s scanning professionals, but also address organizations wanting to enter into laser scanning to diversify and/or improve their current business.

Leica ScanStation C10 is a fully integrated, cable-less system; it does full dome scans up to 10 times faster than its predecessor – for example, a typical room scan now takes less than two minutes. The scanner has an easy-to-learn, surveyor-friendly onboard interface with high-resolution, color touch screen and integrated, high-resolution zoom camera/video. It features a dual-axis compensator, laser plummet and tribrach mount for quick setup over a known point; and, it interfaces to standard survey accessories such as TPS batteries, total station prisms, and even the Leica GPS SmartAntenna. Thus, even surveyors new to High-Definition Surveying™(HDS™) will find it easy to learn and work with the Leica ScanStation C10.

Leica ScanStation C10’s onboard software makes users even more efficient, plus the system is designed to be upgraded over time with increasing functionality - all in this smaller and lighter instrument.
“This is the type of instrument that is truly worthy of being called ‘Leica Geosystems’ next-generation scanner’. Leica ScanStation C10 will no doubt reinforce our reputation for innovation and leadership in High-Definition Surveying,” states Dr. Juergen Dold, President of Leica Geosystems’ Geospatial Solutions Division. “From a value, versatility and productivity standpoint, the all-in-one Leica ScanStation C10 is ideal for organizations wanting to get into scanning or organizations wanting to add a more versatile and productive scanner to their existing fleet.”

Pricing & Availability
Leica ScanStation C10 is planned to be available for shipment in September 2009. Leica Cyclone v7.0 is being announced simultaneously as companion software for operating Leica ScanStation C10 and all other Leica Geosystems HDS scanners. Pricing information is available via authorized Leica Geosystems representatives.
