TLS-M3
OEM Laser Scanning System
Long rate laser scanning for marine, monitoring and mobile applications
Part of Teledyne OPTECH’s OEM product range, the TLS-M3 combines OPTECH’s renowned range, scan efficiency, and survey-grade data quality in a rugged IP56-rated system—making it an ideal laser scanner for marine, monitoring, and mobile applications.
Featuring integrated heating and cooling, allowing it to operate reliably across a wide temperature range from –20°C to +50°C. This makes it a top choice for installations such as marine surveys, and long-term monitoring in mines, dams, and geologically active areas.
Well-suited for permanent monitoring, marine, and land-based mobile projects, delivering high-quality scans via a robust API software package.
This software enables full unit control, real-time data streaming, data processing, and system diagnostics—ensuring optimal scan efficiency and data quality.
Compatible with a variety of OEM and third-party software platforms, allowing users to tailor the system to specific project needs.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What is the TLS-M3 and what are its primary applications?
The TLS-M3 is a ruggedised, real-time terrestrial LiDAR system designed for slope monitoring, marine surveys, and mobile mapping. It’s widely used in mining, quarries, dams, and geologically active areas to detect deformation, compute volumes, and assess structural integrity.
How does TLS-M3 compare to other LiDAR systems like Trimble X12?
Compared to the Trimble X12, the TLS-M3 offers:
- Longer range (up to 2000m vs. 365m).
- Rugged build for harsh environments.
- Lower scanning speed but optimized for real-time monitoring.
- No internal camera, but supports external HDR 8MP panoramic cameras.
.
What software and data workflows are supported?
Integrates with both OEM and third-party software for:
- Real-time data streaming.
- API-based unit control.
- Data processing and diagnostics This flexibility allows it to be tailored to specific workflows in marine, land mobile, and monitoring applications.
What makes it suitable for permanent installations?
Its robust design, wide temperature tolerance, and IP56 rating make it ideal for long-term deployments in remote or hazardous locations. It’s commonly installed in skyboxes, mine slopes, and coastal structures for continuous monitoring.
Can it be integrated with external cameras or sensors?
Yes. It supports:
- External HDR 8MP panoramic cameras.
- Tilt compensators.
- Inclinometers These integrations enhance data capture and accuracy in complex environments.
