Using robotic total stations and Millimeter GPS, Topcon’s ZS100 combines two existing technologies to give operators fewer set-ups, fewer instruments – and a much simpler job site
RTP-300 is Topcon’s new high-speed road surface profiling machine that can collect surface data at speeds up to 65 mph (105 km/h) and creates an exact model of the existing surface.
Topcon Europe Positioning has released SurveyMaster Lite, a new CAD-based desktop application for surveying and job site information editing and plotting. Mark Contino, TPS (Topcon Positioning Systems, Livermore, USA) vice president of product marketing, said: "SurveyMaster Lite is a cost-efficient surveying office software package perfect for the cadastral surveying and construction stakeout professional."
Sokkia has widened its iM line of manual total stations with the introduction of the iM-50.
The firm says that the tool can be used for jobs such as site layout or as-built survey and claims that the unit delivers high-end performance and functionality. The iM-50 EDM features a prism range of up to 4,000m and up to 500m in reflectorless mode with a 1.5 mm/
2ppm accuracy. The company claims that the beam can measure walls, corners, manholes on the road surface, even chain-link fences and tree branches
