Product Info

Compact and lightweight multi-adjustable
laser scanner

The GLS-2000 series of scanners is composed of three comparable, yet distinct models: The GLS-2000S (short-range), GLS-2000M (middle-range), and the GLS-2000L (long-range). Each model is a full featured scanner that can be effectively deployed to capture existing, as-built conditions for any application range. The compact, lightweight series of scanners accurately captures a full 360° scan including images in less than three minutes.

  • Selectable laser modes from Class 3R to Class 1M
  • Multiple lens array system - quickly switches focal length settings
  • Auto temperature adjustment - consistent accuracy throughout the work day
  • Precise Scan Technology - signal processing including wave form for the ultimate in precise data

Compact and lightweight Laser Scanner

Powered by our unique user-selectable dual laser, the GLS-2000 can be utilized on any job site, thanks to the ability to choose between a Class 3R and Class 1 laser according to the job site conditions.

With the distinct scan range models the GLS-2000 is a versatile tool that lets you get laser scanning in many different work environments. It’s stand-alone capability, combined with the rugged design, provides technology that will stand up to the most extreme outdoor work sites.
