Trimble TX8 Laser Scanner
Key Features
Increase field productivity with the fastest,
high resolution scans on the market
Confidence in data accuracy, clarity and
richness
True performance in real world
environments
Intuitive and easy to operate
Data integrates with Trimble survey
instruments and Trimble Realworks software

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.
