Robotic Stations Make Accurate Distance Measurements to Over a Mile
Total station series expedites topos, layouts, and grade staking on job sites. GPT-9000A reflectorless and GTS-900A reflector-only units provide precise measurements, even on small objects such as power lines, to 2,000 m.—over 6,500 ft. Features include onboard computer with full-color, touch-screen display; FC-200 field controller with 520-MHz., Intel X-scale processor, Windows Mobile 4.2 operating system, and optional snap-on 2.4 GHz., interference-free spread spectrum radio; RC-3 tracking system with one-touch instrument lock; lightweight 360° prism; and TopSURV field controller software. Instruments are available in 1-, 3-, and 5-sec. arc-sec. angle accuracies. Six communication channels enable multiple robotic systems to operate on the same site. Cable-free components fit into single waterproof, dustproof carrying case.Topcon Positioning Systems, Inc., Livermore, CA
