Publication number: 20230314616Abstract: A laser scanner and a system with a laser scanner for measuring an environment. The laser scanner includes an optical distance measuring device, a support, a beam steering unit rotatably fixed to the support which rotates around a beam axis of rotation. The beam steering unit includes a mirrored surface which deflects radiation used in the optical distance measurement and an angle encoder for recording angle data. The optical distance measurement is performed by a progressive rotation of the beam steering unit about the beam axis of rotation and the continuous emission of a distance measurement radiation, the emission being made through an outlet area arranged in the direction of the mirrored surface on the support, the receiving optics for receiving radiation are arranged on the support, and wherein the outlet area has a lateral offset with respect to the optical axis of the receiving optics.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 24, 2023Publication date: October 5, 2023Applicant: LEICA GEOSYSTEMS AGInventors: Simon MARK, Klaus BEREUTER, Benjamin MÜLLER, Roman STEFFEN, Burkhard BÖCKEM, Jürgen DOLD, Jochen SCHEJA, Lukas HEINZLE, Charles Leopold Elisabeth DUMOULIN
