The QS-series, based on X-TRAC 8 technology, is designed to “provide unprecedented routing and speed that will significantly improve productivity and save time and money on every task,” said Ian Stilgoe, surveying business manager at Topcon Europe Positioning. Stilgoe says, “The QS Series can be described in three words: fast, smart and rugged.
XTRAC 8 is a next-generation tracking system – incorporating new optics, laser tracking and improved technology – advanced tracking, holding the target anticipating its movements with automatic targeting even in very obstructed areas.
Advanced telescope tube electronics provide a class-leading 2,000 meter reflectorless measuring range, reducing measurement time – 3 times faster than the competition, providing greater measuring range to problem sites – such as wet and dark rocks.
The QS system is partnered with a new unique remote access system combining radio, Bluetooth and optical communication in one device. The new RC-4 doubles the “Quick Lock” footprint, speeding up search and lock making life easy for the operator. A new radio antenna increases the working range out to over 1000m while the optical system eliminates any false locks.
The RC-4 allows for increased flexibility in controller choice – from mobile phone to rugged PC, and all the options in between. By combining QS with the world’s only handheld RTK receiver, the GRS-1, you create the perfect working combination of GNSS and robotics.
“The core of this technology makes QS not only the most robust surveying and tracing tool available,” says Stilgoe, “but it also has the most advanced sensor in the industry for highly productive and precise control of construction machinery systems.”
The new series of robotic total stations (QS) operate without cables, with a choice of 1″, 3″ and 5″ accuracy. TOPCON_QS
