Laser Scanner Servicing

Maptek laser scanners are manufactured and serviced in a facility that maintains an ISO9001 certified quality management system.

Maptek indoor and outdoor testing ranges are independently verified by third party surveyors using calibrated equipment. This assures the accuracy of data capture in Maptek laser scanners.

Conditions and treatment in the field can affect measurement accuracy. Maptek recommends servicing a Maptek laser scanner every 12 months, or more often if it has been subjected to a severe shock.

Scanner testing and re-calibration is verified by trained, experienced technicians.

Calibration and range checks are key components of the service. More than 190 steps are followed to ensure the laser scanner continues to operate at the highest level and to assure accuracy of data.

Software and mechanical improvements which have been developed during the life of the scanner are also installed during service.
