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
Road markings and raised pavements markers (RPMs) are important tools in securing efficient and safe traffic flow, and the high visibility of both is an important task in road maintenance, says DELTA.
The leading suppliers of machine control technology are now offering advanced new solutions for customers – Mike Woof writes. Important developments in machine control technologies are now coming to market. The major suppliers are making major advances to offer new solutions for customers, which can help boost accuracy while reducing the time needed to carry out a project, as well as minimising the need for reworking. From Topcon Positioning Group comes a sophisticated 3D machine control package that the fi
Mastenbroek has developed a sophisticated GPS-controlled system for use in drainage trenching applications in partnership with Trimble Germany. The package is based on Trimble's Field Level II technology and is said to offer key benefits over existing laser-based technology. Surveying times can be slashed while drainage costs can be cut through more accurate deployment of gravel fill. An on-board computerised touch-screen display records every detail of the job, which can be downloaded for analysis and bill
