MX50 and Multibeam in simultaneous use above and under water!

Efficient versatility in action: Flexible coverage of large areas thanks to the MX50!

We have expanded our surveying technology with the Trimble MX50! With this mobile laser scanner, we can survey large areas in a very short time. The device is very compact and versatile, which makes it highly mobile as it can be mounted on boats, cars, quads or similar vehicles.

For us, the MX50 is a valuable addition to our multibeam systems, among other things. By combining the two, we are able to survey harbors, embankments or similar areas simultaneously above and under water in one almost seamless measurement process.

But we can also measure road markings, trenches, manholes and much more quickly and precisely.

The closed system of the MX50 delivers precise LiDAR data and comprehensive panoramic images that generate an absolutely true-to-scale twin model of the surroundings. With the appropriate effort, we can display this model in post-processing with an accuracy of up to one centimeter.

The seamless integration of GPS and inertial sensors enables precise positioning and data acquisition even in difficult terrain at speeds of up to 100 km/h. In addition, the inertial system ensures that calculations continue even in the event of a GPS failure.

The two high-precision lasers each have a detection rate of 500,000 points per second and a range of up to 80 meters. The 360° camera can simultaneously capture panoramic images of the surroundings.

The system records and calculates the raw data in real time, which minimizes repeated site visits. It also reduces the safety risk for our measurement teams, as large projects can be carried out in the shortest possible time and without road closures.
