The RIEGL LMS-Q20 2D laser scanner provides accurate non-contact profile measurements. The instrument makes use of the precise time-of-flight laser range measurement principle and fast line scanning by means of a high-speed opto-mechanical scan mechanism, providing fully linear and unidirectional scan lines.

The rugged overall system design makes the RIEGLLMS-Q20 exceptionally well suited for installation even in very harsh industrial environments, and the compactness of the housing allows installation under limited space conditions. The instrument needs only one power supply and provides line scan data via the integrated TCP/IP Ethernet interface. The binary data stream can easily be decoded by user-designed software using the available software library RiScanLib.
