What are the parts of a total station?

Total stations often contain a few different components:

  • Electronic transit theodolite.
  • Electronic distance meter (EDM)
  • Microprocessor.
  • Electronic data collector and storage system.

What is inside total station?

A total station is an electronic/optical instrument used in modern surveying and building construction that uses electronic transit theodolite in conjunction with electronic distance meter (EDM). It is also integrated with microprocessor, electronic data collector and storage system.

How many types of total stations are there?

With approximately more than 40 different models are available to choose, they are currently the dominant instrument in surveying. The EDM instrument component installed in a Total Station is relatively small but still has distance ranges adequate for most work.

What are accessories of total station?

What is manual total station?

Manual Total Stations. Receive data output in any format from our rugged total stations wih accurate angle measurements, quadruple axis compensation and powerful reflectorless EDM.

What is robotic total station?

Simple in concept, a Robotic Total Station (RTS) is a Total Station that allows remote operation. This means you only need one operator and can perform far more calculations and inspections in less time than with a traditional Total Station.

What is maximum accuracy of EDM?

It is limited to 15 to 150m with an accuracy of 1 in 1000 to 1 in 10000. Above all we have EDM with an accuracy of 1 in 105, having a distance range of 100km.

What is total station used for?

A total station (TS) or total station theodolite (TST) is an electronic/optical instrument used for surveying and building construction.

What’s a total station?

Total stations are the primary survey instrument used in mining surveying . A total station is used to record the absolute location of the tunnel walls, ceilings (backs), and floors as the drifts of an underground mine are driven. Oct 31 2019

What is total station transit?

The total station is an electronic theodolite (transit) integrated with an electronic distance meter (EDM) to read slope distances from the instrument to a particular point. This is usually used in building surveying and Road surveying.
