Publication number: 20220299609Abstract: The present invention relates to a laser scanner, comprising a housing, a laser transmitter including a transmission aperture for a transmission beam, a laser receiver for a reception beam, and a beam deflection device in the form of a mirror pyramid, the pyramid axis of which forms its axis of rotation, and the pyramid sides of which each form a mirror facet The laser transmitter and the laser receiver are each directed at the mirror pyramid parallel to the axis of rotation of the mirror pyramid. The laser receiver comprises at least one converging lens arranged downstream of the mirror pyramid in the reception beam path. The converging lens, viewed in the direction of the axis of rotation, in its region of overlap with the mirror facets, is at least as large, in area comparison, as twice the largest of all mirror facets viewed in the direction of the axis of rotation.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 11, 2020Publication date: September 22, 2022Applicant: RIEGL LASER MEASUREMENT SYSTEMS GMBHInventors: Rainer REICHERT, Peter RIEGER, Martin PFENNIGBAUER, Johannes RIEGL

Patent number: 10126425Abstract: The present application relates to a device for object protection, including at least two laser scanners, which are configured to each emit a laser beam scanning fan in front of the object and to detect a penetration of the scanning fan by a body by means of a reflection of the laser beam of the scanning fan on the body. The laser scanners are arranged on a ground next to the object and have laser beam scanning fans that are oriented upwardly. At least one of the laser beam scanning fans is oriented upwardly at an incline. The laser beam scanning fans intersect one another and the laser beam scanning fans form a closed scanning hood covering the object.Type: GrantFiled: January 28, 2016Date of Patent: November 13, 2018Inventors: Ursula Riegl, Johannes Riegl, Martin Pfennigbauer

Patent number: 7697120Abstract: A scanning apparatus for use in a scanning optical system comprises a laser transmitter to produce a transmitter beam. This transmitter beam is deviated by a beam scanner, e.g. a tiltable mirror, to produce a pattern of a scanning beam. There are bearings which define first and second axes of rotation perpendicular to each other and intersecting each other in an intersecting point for allowing the beam scanner to scan. In front of the beam scanner is a window of transparent material in the shape of a spherical cap so as to define a central axis and a central point. The central axis intersects the intersecting point of the two other axes, and this common intersecting point coincides preferably with the central point of the sphere of the window.Type: GrantFiled: November 27, 2006Date of Patent: April 13, 2010Assignee: Riegl Laser Measurement Systems GmbHInventors: Rainer Reichert, Andreas Ullrich, Martin Pfennigbauer, Johannes Riegl

Patent number: 7330242Abstract: A system for recording an object space has a opto-electronic distance sensor which uses a signal propagation time method, and a transmitter for transmitting optical, signals, as well as a receiver (E) for receiving optical signals, reflected by objects located in the target space. The system comprises a scanner for deflecting optical axes of the transmitter and receiver (S and E). The optical axes of the transmitter and receiver (S and E) for example, are substantially parallel. An evaluation system determines distance values from the propagation time or phase position of the transmittal optical signals, and the space coordinates of the individual data elements result from the distance values and the beam deflection implemented by the scanner. The system comprises a rotary measurement head mounted on a pillow block, and a mirror system fixed relative to the measurement head, which deflects beams axially incident on the hollow shaft in the radial direction and vice versa.Type: GrantFiled: May 22, 2006Date of Patent: February 12, 2008Assignees: Riegl Laser Measurement System GmbH, Ferrotron Technologies GmbHInventors: Rainer Reichert, Johannes Riegl, Andreas Stoeger, Rolf Lamm, Andreas Ullrich
