King of all it surveys

Topcon Europe Positioning has launched a new total station range to its mid-range engineering grade portfolio. Available in three different angular accuracy models (2.54cms, 7.62cms and 12.7cms), and running the latest version of Windows CE 6.0, the OS Series is said by Topcon to redefine this class of optical measuring device.

5962 Topcon Europe Positioning has launched a new total station range to its mid-range engineering grade portfolio. Available in three different angular accuracy models (2.54cms, 7.62cms and 12.7cms), and running the latest version of Windows CE 6.0, the OS Series is said by Topcon to redefine this class of optical measuring device.

Topcon’s innovative LongLinkTM communication system also features on the OS total stations. Its technology uses a long range Class 1 Bluetooth link to enable users to take remote control on the instrument – up to 300metres away. This is said to create the potential for the surveyor on the pole to take full control of the survey, reducing errors and speeding up staking out operations.

Also featuring the same TSshield functionality as the ES Series, the OS uses its telematics module to deploy the same innovative site security features as its sibling instrument. Using the telematics module, a digital code is automatically sent from the remote server to the instrument should it be reported as being missing or stolen. It allows the location of the instrument to be tracked and significantly increases the chances of recovering it.

The OS also runs Topcon’s latest data collection, management and transfer software solution ‘Magnet Onboard’. The innovative solution allows data to be seamlessly transferred to and from remote server locations ensuring that the surveyor or engineer has the very latest version of site drawings, as well as automatically sending new survey data back to base. Topcon’s IACS (Integrated Angular Calibration System) is employed on the 2.54cm instrument, for the ultimate in absolute reliability. It has a prism measurement range of 4,000m with an accuracy of 2mm + 2pmm and an incredible 3mm +2ppm reflectorless measurement pinpointing locations up to 500metres away.

    Leica Geosystems says that the new LS15 tool can be used to complete all the key stages for levelling. The system has a high accuracy of 0.2mm, which can be achieved by aiming at the target via the colour touch display and pressing the measuring button. Key working features include an electronic bubble and tilt checks prior to each measurement and autofocus. These are said to help to reduce fatigue over a shift and help minimise the risk of working errors, ensuring consistently high accuracy of measureme

    In the coming age of the autonomous vehicle, fast and accurate LiDAR surveying will be increasingly important, explains Valdis Vanags. The game-changing introduction of autonomous vehicles relies not only on intelligent traffic systems but well maintained roads to help computer-guided systems navigate using road markings. Laser scanning technology, too, is a game changer when it comes to planning and executing many civil engineering projects, including transport network upgrades and smart city initiatives.

    Handling up to 450 take-offs/day, Runway West is Frankfurt Airport’s busiest runway. Over 50% of the aircraft taking off from the airport uses Runway West, and a point worth noting is that this German airport is one of the busiest in Europe. In 2016, Frankfurt Airport handled nearly 61 million passengers, surpassed by Schiphol in Amsterdam and Charles de Gaulle in Paris, Europe’s third and second busiest airports respectively. Meanwhile London’s Heathrow remained Europe’s busiest airport
