Publication number: 20250180711Abstract: A mobile surveying system is provided. The system comprises a first deflection unit, a second deflection unit, a laser source configured to generate a laser beam and a controller. The first deflection unit is arranged to deflect the laser beam onto the second deflection unit. The controller is configured to control the first deflection unit to rotate at a first frequency to vary a position at which the laser beam impinges the second deflection unit. The controller is configured to control the second deflection unit to rotate at a second frequency to scan the laser beam 360° about the mobile surveying system. The first deflection unit and the second deflection unit together provide a bi-dimensional scanning profile of the laser beam about the mobile surveying system. The first frequency and the second frequency are non-commensurable.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 26, 2024Publication date: June 5, 2025Applicant: Trimble Inc.Inventors: Eric Genin, Richard Day
