Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A laser scanner device having a laser beam emission apparatus which is designed to emit at least one laser beam in an emission area, and a mirror arranged at least partially in the emission area, and having a receiving apparatus which is designed to receive reflections of the laser beam, includes a first drive device which can move a first kinematic chain, and a second drive device which can move a second kinematic chain. The is connected to the first and to the second kinematic chain and can be scanned in mutually independent coordinate directions (X, Y) via the first and the second kinematic chain.
