Topcon GT-1003 Robotic Total Station
The Topcon GT-1003 is a 3 second robotic total station from Topcon GT series billed as the smallest, lightest and fastest robotic total station Topcon had made at launch. It gives you the efficiency of single operator robotic surveying the power of long range reflectorless measurement and a place in Topcon hybrid positioning workflow. UltraSonic Direct Drive motors and UltraTrac prism tracking make it quick and dependable in challenging conditions and it suits both survey and construction layout work.
Key Features Topcon GT-1003
- 3″ angle accuracy: the GT-1003 is the 3 second model in the 1000 range (alongside the 1″ GT-1001 and 2″ GT-1002)
- UltraSonic Direct Drive motors: Topcon states they are the fastest in any robotic total station and the GT series carries a five year motor warranty
- UltraTrac technology: keeps the instrument locked onto the prism even in difficult environments
- Long-range measurement: reflectorless up to 1,000 m and up to 6,000 m with a prism according to a retailer listing with the GT-1000 series rated for 5,000 m with 1 mm + 2 ppm accuracy on Topcon distributor page
- LongLink wireless communication: a robotic range of about 600 m
- Fast measurement: rapid mode about 0.6 seconds and tracking mode about 0.4 seconds
- Telescope: 30x magnification, 2.5″ resolving power
- Tilt compensation: liquid 2 axis tilt sensor with a ±6′ range
- Onboard display: for operating the instrument directly
- Hybrid Positioning: works with Topcon GNSS receivers including Hybrid Search which uses GNSS position data to direct the total station toward the prism
- TSshield: global security and service features
- Compact and light: about 30% smaller and lighter than earlier Topcon robotic instruments
