Indoor positioning system and GPS
The terrestrial 3D laser scanner Z+F IMAGER® 5010X comes with a unique positioning system which works outdoors and, as an industry-first, also indoors! It will estimate the current position and orientation of the terrestrial 3D scanner to support the registration algorithm to automatically find the correct solution. The scanner will also track your movements while carrying the device on to the next setup and hence provides position estimation for the registration process.
Z+F IMAGER® 5010C
The Z+F IMAGER® 5010C is one of the most reliable and stable 3D laser scanners on the market. In addition to its high accuracy, the surveying system is characterized by its HDR camera, which captures high-resolution and parallax-free color data.
High Dynamic Range
HDR offers a solution to display homogenous colour information.
Therefore serveral pictures of the same scene are taken with different exposure times, including intentional underexposed and overexposed pictures, in order to capture every contrast area correctly. Even those areas which would be underexposed are captured. After this process all pictures are merged into one high dynamic range picture, displaying an ideal result.
HDR is not a new technology, but Z+F is the first manufacturer to integrate this capturing technique into a 3D laser scanner.
The HDR picture is being generated in the Z+F LaserControl® software and combined with the point cloud automatically. Compared to the manual method, Z+F’s HDR procedure does not require any previous knowledge in the field of photography, e.g. about aperture and exposure time, and allows a simple and quick 3D documentation of the surrounding area.
Z+F IMAGER® 5006EX
Explosion-proof 3D laser scanner
Based on the high quality laser scanner Z+F IMAGER®, Zoller + Fröhlich GmbH and DMT GmbH & Co. KG have developed an explosion proof 3D laser scanner.

2D Profiling Systems
Z+F PROFILER® 9020
The Z+F PROFILER® 9020 is a highly efficient 2D laser scanner for mobile mapping applications. Its rotation speed is 267 Hz or 16,020 rpm max. It measures up to 182 m and offers high data quality. For data capturing in close range, the Z+F PROFILER® 9020 is equipped with special optics. Compared to earlier models, it has an internal reference plate, a low rate of power consumption, faster startup time, and is 50 percent lighter and smaller. This new, extremely powerful laser technology uses the most advanced algorithms to ensures highly accurate measurements on roads, street signs, traffic control systems such as traffic lights and rails.
Z+F PROFILER® 9020C
The Z+F PROFILER® 9020C is the world’s first mobile 2D laser scanner with integrated cameras.
Generate colored point clouds without external cameras
The Z+F PROFILER® 9020C has four integrated cameras, each with 5 MPx, which cover the entire 360° scanning area as of a distance of 40 cm. The recordings have high color fidelity and a high dynamic range. Significant differences in light conditions are compensated in such a way that the processing of the images afterwards takes short time or is completely eliminated. Shaded or overexposed areas can hardly be seen in the colored 3D representations.
Less cabling and connection effort – only one USB 3 cable required
The Z+F PROFILER® 9020C’s built-in cameras allow for quick installation. Only a USB 3 cable is required for the transmission and control of the system components. Fewer cables also mean less susceptibility to errors and, conversely, more security when collecting data. In addition to this efficiency and data security, a high degree of flexibility was taken into account during development. The construction of the Z+F PROFILER® 9020C corresponds to that of the Z+F PROFILER® 9020. This means that the scanners can be exchanged in just a few minutes, depending on their area of application.
Fully calibrated camera system
In contrast to external cameras, the permanently installed cameras of the Z+F PROFILER® 9020C do not need to be calibrated. The cameras and the scanner are perfectly matched and ready to use upon delivery. The components are also synchronized fully automatically during installation, so that the image and measurement points match exactly. The high accuracy and the low parallax are further optimized by the compact design.
Z+F PROFILER® 9012
(Based on our Z+F IMAGER® 5010) With a scan rate of more than 1 million points per second and a maximum scan speed of 200 profiles per second, the Z+F PROFILER® 9012 is capable of scanning very short distances between profiles at high speed.
Because this new laser measurement system is classified as a Laser Class 1 Instrument, the laser scanner can be used without restriction in urban environments. A hardware-assisted pixel-by-pixel synchronization, already proven in previous models, makes it possible to synchronize with external sensors that determine the position of scan data.
Using one of the connections, the Z+F PROFILER® 9012 can manage synchronization with a pulse from the scanner. If your application requires a real-time evaluation or a visualization of data, a 1 Gigabit Ethernet interface allows scan data to be transmitted online to an external PC.
