FARO Orbis Mobile Scanner and Datalogger kit

The FARO Orbis Mobile Scanner and Datalogger Kit is a revolutionary solution in 3D laser scanning, designed to meet the demanding needs of industries like surveying, construction, architecture, and public safety. This advanced mobile scanning system combines cutting-edge technology, versatility, and portability to deliver fast, accurate, and high-quality 3D data capture in diverse environments.

Key Features and Benefits

• Hybrid Reality Capture with Flash Technology:
  The Orbis is engineered with FARO's proprietary Flash Technology, enabling users to capture high-density point clouds through both mobile and stationary scanning. This hybrid approach ensures flexibility—allowing operators to scan on the move or stop for stationary captures where higher accuracy and detail are required.

• Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM):
  Equipped with advanced SLAM algorithms, the Orbis automatically maps its environment while moving through it. This method is up to 10 times faster than traditional laser scanning, drastically reducing time on-site and increasing efficiency, especially in complex or large-scale projects.

• High-Resolution Imaging:
  The Orbis Premium model features an integrated 72MP panoramic camera, providing sharp, detailed images for colorized point clouds. This ensures that spatial data is both visually rich and highly accurate, enhancing post-processing analysis and visualization.

• Lightweight and Portable Design:
  Weighing just 3.6 kg, including the datalogger and battery, the Orbis is highly portable and ergonomic. This makes it ideal for long-duration scanning in varied environments, from urban landscapes to rugged outdoor terrains.

• Rugged and Durable:
  Built with an IP54 rating, the Orbis is resistant to dust and water splashes, making it suitable for challenging environmental conditions. Its robust design ensures durability, minimizing downtime and maintenance.

• Versatile Mounting Options:
  The scanner can be mounted in several ways, including:

  • Monopod: For stationary scanning with Flash Technology.
  • Vehicle Mount: To capture larger outdoor areas efficiently.
  • Backpack Mount: For hands-free scanning in difficult terrains.
  • Cradle System: For vertical scanning into confined or hazardous spaces.
