04Overview

Mobility, without conceding precision.

Most scanning systems ask the operator to choose: carry less and accept coarser data, or carry more and slow the survey down. The Lixel K2 is engineered to remove that trade. At approximately 1.2 kilograms with battery, it moves through stairwells, site corridors and dense interiors at walking pace—while holding centimetre-class relative accuracy across the capture.

Integrated GNSS-RTK places every scan in a true coordinate frame as it is recorded, so the data arriving back at the office is not an approximation to be reconciled—it is a measurement to be used. For teams whose day is defined by the number of positions captured, the K2's economy of motion is the specification that matters.
