A precision total station is an optical coordinate measuring instrument that enables measurements of static targets within large measurement volumes. The measurement points are determined either using reflectors or non-contact methods. Horizontal distances, vertical angles, and slant distances are measured and converted into 3D coordinates.
Measurement Range:
The measurement range of the precision tachymeter varies depending on the application. The tachymeter can measure distances of up to 300 meters. Using special measurement methods, the measurement range can be extended as needed.
Measurement accuracy:
Depending on the measurement volume, the measurement accuracy is U = ± 50 µm (volume < 30 m) or U = ± 30 µm + 13 µm/m (volume > 30 m). This already includes the tolerance of the measuring sphere. ± 30 or 50 µm is a constant value that applies to every measurement, regardless of distance. 13 µm/m means that the measurement uncertainty increases by 13 µm for every 1 meter of distance from the device.
Software:
For the tactile measurement of components or fixtures, we use various software packages depending on the measurement task. sigma3D relies on the Polyworks and Spatial Analyzer software packages.
Data Exchange:
Data can be exchanged via email, FTP server, or directly in person on-site. Alternatively, we can of course also send the data by mail on a CD.
