The total station is a type of equipment found in many fields. It is responsible for measuring length, angle, and height. The laser or infrared beam emitted by the total station device is directly reflected by the reflector. Based on the reflection of the beam, the computer inside the device uses the round-trip speed of light to calculate the distance.
Total Station allows performing many measurement operations. In general, many factors play an active role in measurements made with the total station. Especially the measurement environment conditions, height, and installation details directly affect the measurement result. In measurements made with the total station, the height of the reflector and the height of the terrain where the device is installed have particular importance.
Generally, measurements with the total station are made starting from a point with known x, y, z values. This device provides easy and efficient results and occupies a wide place in various sectors. Especially in the construction field, support from the total station is needed for various measurements.
The total station, which brings many features and measurement support, allows continuous and automatic measurement of horizontal and vertical angles. The total station device stands out with its ability to read and calculate distances with millimeter accuracy. The total station can immediately display the results of the measurements performed. Since the measurements made with the total station are automatically recorded in memory, you can easily access the desired result.
To start measuring with the total station, you can install a wooden tripod as the first step. Then, fix the existing device with the mounting screw. You can install the device using the electronic level and laser plummet. Afterwards, for the measurement operation, enter the device height, reflector height, and targeted point values into the system.
You can start the measurement by selecting the appropriate program from the menu. At the end of the operation, you can transfer the measurement made with the total station to another location using the export function.
What are the advantages of the total station device?
The total station device stands out with its lightweight and ergonomic design. Weighing 5 kg, this device is easy to transport.
With the total station device, you can quickly complete tasks such as field studies and regional assessments.
The greatest advantage of measurements made with the total station is the much higher accuracy compared to traditional methods.
Thanks to electronically and digitally performed measurements, you minimize the margin of error.
Being easy to use, you can easily complete measurements with the total station.
