Simple and fast survey robots with POWER SEARCH make construction & land survey stakeout easy
The total station is an electronic instrument that measures and records topographic distances as well as angles. A robotic total station, commonly known as RTS, is the advanced version of a total station with important improvements including remote operation and automatic target aiming.
What is a Robotic Total Station (RTS)?
A total station is used for measuring the distance between the instrument and a specific topographic point. It can also measure vertical and horizontal angles. A robotic total station is motorized and can be operated remotely.
Benefits of Robotic Total Station: RTS VS Manual
Traditional total station technology requires more resources while not being able to deliver as much accuracy. A manual total station requires the user to catch sight of the target and aim at it manually. Furthermore, the horizontal and vertical screws are adjusted manually to align the crosshairs with the target. Overall, at least two people are required to take measurements- one to operate the total station and one to move the target.
In contrast, a robotic total station has automatic target aiming to automatically search for the target, aim at it, and follow movement when necessary. The telescope automatically turns and adjusts with a motor. Thus, only one person is required to take measurements by moving the target.
While a robotic station might cost more up front – over time you will reduce up to half of your surveying labor costs.
Additional benefits of a Robotic Total Station
- The RTS is a time-saving instrument since it can be operated remotely with less labor
- RTS provide more accurate quality checks and layouts and receive information with advanced accuracy
- Multiple surveys can be completed at one set up location
- Real-time data accessibility and increased productivity
A Robotic Total Station Will Save You on More than Labor
