The Trimble GEDO GX50 is a modern and flexible laser scanning system that is designed to operate with Trimble GEDO track measurement systems.
Available in a Single Head configuration with one scanner and in a dual head configuration with two scanners.
Trimble GEDO Vorsys is an ideal tool for avoiding ballast tamping machines and work crews costly idle time in both conventional and high-speed rail tamping applications.
The Trimble GEDO GX50 can be combined with the Trimble GEDO CE 2.0 track measurement trolley to form various Trimble GEDO systems.
The track measurement trolley measures the track gauge and can’t in conjunction with the distance traveled. The basic configuration, Trimble GEDO Scan, allows the acquisition of a purely relative or pseudo-absolute processed point cloud.
In the geodetic Trimble GEDO Rec-Scan configuration, the absolute track position is determined using a total station or GNSS receiver. This position is also used for absolute referencing of the point cloud.
The Trimble GEDO IMS-Scan and Trimble GEDO IMS-GNSS-Scan systems combine state-of-the-art inertial measurement technology and laser scanner into a multi-sensor system. The flexible processing allows different types of georeferencing for an absolute referenced point cloud.
