Topcon Positioning Systems (TPS) has recently launched its new generation of robotic total stations, the QS Series (Quick Station) and its accompanying RC-4 QuickLock rover device.
Topcon’s QS Series – featuring its X-TRAC 8 prism tracking technology – is designed to provide power and speed to enhance productivity and save time and money on every job.
The X-TRAC 8 technology has been developed to provide strong tracking and quick prism re-acquisition in worksite conditions. The units employ new optics, laser system, and further advanced algorithms.
Topcon’s new RC-4 remote system is a compact QuickLock remote system that integrates an array of advanced technologies to increase productivity on survey projects, and has been specifically designed for use with the QS total station.
The RC-4 uses dual lasers, a built-in spread spectrum radio and Topcon’s QuickLock technology to create on-the-job efficiencies from stakeout to topo and from construction layout to as-built surveys.
The RC-4 remote has dual laser emitters, which significantly expand remote control coverage to speed up prism search and lock operations. A built-in spread spectrum radio provides a data link between the QS and the field controller, eliminating the need for an external radio system or integrated controller system.
Other accessories for the QS system include Topcon Tools and TopSURV software. Completely cable-free, the QS comes with one-, three- and five-second accuracy options, and has a full-colour, graphical Windows CED interface.
