Voxis, Inc., acquired by Topcon Corporation in August 2008, is an innovator in the design of precision high-resolution motion systems and the developers of the GLS-1500 Laser Scanner. Expertise has been successfully applied to many kinds of precision instrumentation, including precision surveying equipment, fiber optic instrumentation, and similar measurements requiring the best possible position control.
