Topcon MS AXII Monitoring Robotic Total Station

The latest edition Topcon MS AXII Monitoring Robotic Total Station, high-precision measuring total station series is designed for precision-intensive tasks, such as monitoring, bridge construction, and other highly detailed engineering projects.

The series includes the MS1 AXII with 1” angle accuracy, and the MS05 AXII with 0.5” angle accuracy.  “The MS1 AXII is perfect for long distance measurement activities, while the MS05 AXII is built for high-accuracy survey and construction projects,” said Ray Kerwin, Topcon director of global surveying products.

The fully robotic MS AXII models are vastly superior to conventional systems that simply lock on to the nearest targets, The MS AXII auto-collimation system allows the instruments to lock on to targets that are closest to the center view of the telescope, providing long-rage precision and accuracy even in low-light conditions

Additional features include integrated Bluetooth connectivity options, durability with an IP65 rating, and TSshield technology for security and maintenance.

• Precise angle accuracies 0.5” (MS05AXII) and 1” (MS1AXII)
• Auto-aiming accuracy of 1”
• Remote control through on-line PC
• Exclusive reflector prescan technology
• Enforced durability for long term deformation and monitoring applications

Rapid 2D Monitoring
In addition to natural hazards, such as harsh weather, soil movement or change of ground water level, engineering structures, such as buildings, dams, tunnels and bridges can always be affected by movement caused by excavation, heavy construction and piling placement. The MS Series provides superior measuring precision and is equipped with environmental protection and functions necessary in monitoring applications, allowing it to be utilized in a high-precision monitoring solution.

Industrial measurement
The MS05 AXII, when using reflective sheet targets, can achieve sub-millimeter accuracy allowing for measuring the shape and alignment of large-scale structures such as plants and bridges, as well as precise measurements of ships, railroad cars, and airplanes

First-order survey
The MS Series offers high-precision angle accuracy (MS05 AXII: 0.5”, MS1 AXII: 1”) which can be used for a wide range of precise measurements. Equipped with an automatic tracking system, the high-precision robotic measuring station can be configured with a remote control system.

Advanced auto-pointing algorithm for multiple prisms
Incorporating an advanced auto-pointing algorithm*, optimized for monitoring applications, it automatically sights the prism closest to the telescope center regardless of the distance from the instrument. This works even if multiple prisms or other reflective objects are in the field of view, dramatically enhances the reliability in periodic monitoring of predetermined prism locations

Reflector prescan for monitoring setup
The MS Series automatically searches within the predetermined area to quickly measure the reflectors as initial positions for subsequent routine measurements. This function works in low light or dark conditions where the reflectors cannot be clearly seen by the human eye

Ultra high-precision distance measurement MS05AXII
Using reflective sheet targets, the MS05 AXII provides sub-millimeter accuracy (0.5 mm + 1 ppm) in a range of up to 200 m. The MS1 AXII is doubled to 400 m with Kodak white side (90% reflective)

Advanced angle calibration
Topcon advanced angle encoder technology with exclusive calibration system provides “best in class” angle accuracy, 0.5” (MS05 AXII) and 1” (MS1 AXII)

Adjusting mechanism for angle measuring
The biaxial level compensation mechanism has a wider adjusting range of ±6‘ which is twice as wide, compared with previous models. This enables highly accurate
measuring performance

Superior auto-pointing accuracy
The auto-pointing accuracy* with the standard prism is 1” (1 mm at 200 m), and 4” (1 mm at 50 m) with a reflective sheet.
