Trimble TX8 Laser Scanner

The Trimble® TX8 laser scanner sets new standards for performance and ease of use in high-speed collection of 3D data. Using a state-of-the-art blend of speed, long range and precision, the Trimble TX8 delivers high quality results in industrial measurement, engineering, construction, forensics and other applications that require high levels of accuracy and flexibility. 

A Revolution in 3D Scanning 

    The Trimble TX8 combines speed and range to reduce the time and effort for 3D scanning. The Trimble TX8 lets you gather data more quickly from each setup while the scanner’s long range reduces the number of setups needed to do the job. As a result, you’ll finish your projects faster and with the confidence that your data is complete and accurate.


   Using Trimble’s patented Lightning™ technology, the Trimble TX8 can measure one million points per second while capturing precise data over its full measurement range. Because Trimble Lightning technology is less susceptible to variation in surface types and atmospheric conditions, you can capture complete datasets from each station.

    The Trimble TX8 streamlines work in the office as well. The scanner’s clean, low-noise data results in less time for processing. Data from the Trimble TX8 loads directly into Trimble RealWorks® and Trimble Scan Explorer software. The Trimble TX8 paired with Trimble RealWorks also provides efficient dataflow into popular CAD programs. 



High Performance for Demanding Applications

    The Trimble TX8 is ideal for capturing detailed data on existing conditions. Making high-speed measurements without compromising range or precision, the Trimble TX8 delivers high-density 3D point clouds needed by design and analysis professionals. 

   The Trimble TX8 provides a 360 degree x317 degree field of view and captures data at one million points per second with a typical scan time of only 3 minutes. The Trimble TX8 maintains its high precision over its entire range of 120 m and is available with an optional upgrade extending the range to an impressive 340 m.

Rugged, Flexible and Easy to Use 

A color touchscreen display and one-button scanning make data capture easy and efficient. The intuitive onboard software lets you quickly manage scan resolution and define scan areas. Because you capture only the data you need, you’ll save time in the field and office. 

Benefit from the flexibility to operate in demanding environments and situations. With its eye-safe Class 1 non-visible laser, the Trimble TX8 is safe to use even in busy public places. The Trimble TX8 features a rugged design, IP54 environmental rating, protected mirror and ability to capture data in bright sunlight. 

Designed for mobility, the Trimble TX8 weighs just 11 kg and is powered by lightweight, long-life lithium ion batteries. The wheeled transportation case conforms to requirements of most airlines for checked luggage which allows you to easily transport the Trimble TX8 between job locations.
