Orbis™ Premium
Mobile Laser Scanner
Our premium mobile laser scanner combines the freedom of walk through data capture with the accuracy of stationary scanning all in a single, lightweight device weighing just 3.6kg. Powered by advanced SLAM positioning technology, it maps entire facilities, construction sites and outdoor environments at up to 10 times the speed of traditional tripod based scanning, delivering sub 5mm accurate point clouds in real time as you move.
What makes this scanner truly unique is its ability to switch between rapid mobile capture and detailed stationary scanning without changing hardware or workflows. Simply pause, hold the device still for 15 seconds and capture a high density static scan of any complex area pipework, plant rooms, or structural details before continuing your walk. Whether you are documenting a live construction site, mapping an underground facility, or building a complete digital twin, this is the one device that covers every scenario, every environment, every time.

Walk Through Speed Description
Capture entire floors, facilities and outdoor sites simply by walking through them. Data collection is up to 10 times faster than traditional scanning methods, with no setup time and no disruption to live site operations.
Dual Capture Mode
Switch instantly between continuous mobile mapping at 5mm precision and detailed stationary capture at 2mm accuracy – all from the same device, on the same visit, without returning to site.
High-Res 360° Imaging
The integrated high resolution 72MP camera captures full colour panoramic imagery with every scan, producing vivid, true to life colourised point clouds ready for client presentations and digital twin platforms.
Lightweight & Rugged
IP54 rated and engineered for demanding conditions, the scanner operates in complete darkness, underground spaces, dense industrial environments and outdoor terrain without any loss in performance.
Technical Capabilities
The FARO Orbis operates at 10× the speed of a traditional Terrestrial Laser Scanner (TLS), allowing users to efficiently map extensive areas within minutes simply by walking through a jobsite.
- Points Per Second: 640,000 | Field of View: 360° × 290° | LiDAR Channels: 32.
- Weighing only 3.6 kg (including datalogger and battery), it enables swift, hassle-free scanning of vast areas with no cumbersome setup required.
- Powered by GeoSLAM’s proprietary SLAM algorithm, Orbis delivers robust tracking performance for real-time, accurate data capture.
- The advanced SLAM algorithm ensures robust tracking even in GPS-denied environments like basements and heavy industrial plants.
- The scanner body weighs 2.1 kg, while the datalogger adds 1.5 kg, making it ideal for quickly scanning large areas without bulky setups.
- Flash Technology™ stationary scans complete in approximately 15 seconds — delivering unprecedented scan density in a mobile platform.
- Orbis can scan in complete darkness, making it ideal for areas with limited or no lighting.

Precision Advantages
- Hybrid Reality Capture™ combines GeoSLAM mobile speed with Flash stationary accuracy eliminating the traditional accuracy vs. speed trade-off.
- Real-time, fully automatic scan registration via GeoSLAM, no manual target placement required.
- Flash scans can be triggered as frequently as needed mid-walk for denser coverage of critical areas.
- 72MP camera (Orbis Premium) delivers vibrant, photo-realistic colorized point clouds for enhanced interpretability.
- 5mm mobile accuracy is within.
Orbis bridges the traditional accuracy gap between mobile and stationary scanning, delivering up to 5mm mobile precision and 2mm stationary Flash precision all in one handheld device powered by GeoSLAM's proven SLAM algorithm.
