What is a Total station?

Total station is the name of a surveying instrument that can measure distance and angle at once. Before this machine appeared, it was a surveying instrument that was operated separately and made it possible to measure a light wave rangefinder for measuring distance and a theodolite for measuring angle with a single operation. It points. The major features of the total station are that the optical axis of the telescope (collimation axis) and the optical axis of the laser rangefinder are designed to be coaxial, and that the measurement data can be output immediately to an external device. In recent years, models with built-in programs in total stations have become the mainstream.

Application of Total station

Total stations are used in the fields of surveying, construction and civil engineering, such as observation, pile driving, opposite side measurement, reference point survey, applied survey, coordinate survey, groundbreaking survey, fixed point survey, displacement measurement, etc. It is used in a wide range of applications for measurements such as position management. Nowadays, a wide variety of models are available in various grades.
