Product Description
Topcon Hybrid Positioning System
Topcon’s commitment to automating data workflows and increasing your productivity can be seen in this latest system of combined technology. Topcon’s slogan of “Your Productivity, Our Technology” is our commitment to providing industry leading productivity systems based on software, hardware, and technology. Systems that improve the way you work.
The Hybrid Robotic System is the combination of GNSS positioning, an optical total station, and automated data workflow. By utilizing both GNSS and optical measurements, any job site project can be completed faster, and with the precision needed. In addition, by adding new efficient data workflows from MAGNET™, productivity overall will increase.
The precision and tracking ability of the DS robotic instrument provides precise measurements anywhere the prism can be seen. The GNSS positioning of the RTK rover pole can be used for measurements that are not in the line of site. The Topcon Tesla is the perfect balance between large screen MAGNET Field viewing and an all-day handheld controller. More than just an integrated surveying solution, the Hybrid Robotic System includes the data flow connection to the office. Exchange data files in real-time with MAGNET Enterprise.
There are many additional hardware configurations from Topcon that can benefit from the use of hybrid positioning. This technology is compatible with other robotic instruments such as the Topcon PS, IS, DS, and GNSS receivers such as the HiPer V, Hiper SR, GRS-1, HiPer+, and others.
Using the Hybrid Positioning System, job site measurements can be completed faster. Productivity will be increased with fewer robotic tripod setups. Collect measurements with GNSS or the robotic total station anywhere on the job site.
You can choose from 3 robotic instruments and a choice of 3 field controllers, please read below for a breakdown on each item
