Leica Geosystems Launches Tilt-compensated Total Station Pole Solution

Leica Geosystems, part of Hexagon, has introduced the Leica AP20 AutoPole, an innovative solution for automated total stations that boosts productivity to the next level through tilt compensation, automatic pole height readings and unique target identification.

AP20载体将智能传感器模块与新的AP反射器杆相结合，并与Leica Geosystems现有的自动化总站一起运行，以创建用于自动工作流程的高级解决方案。它打开了新的可能性，并解决了三个常见的工作流程挑战：保持杆位垂直和稳定，手动进入现场软件，并锁定带有多个反射器的站点上的外国目标。

Autonomous Workflows

The tilt compensation of the AP20 AutoPole increases efficiency when working with total stations. There is no longer a need to level the pole for measurements and stakeout. Tilt compensation decreases measurement time and increases flexibility and safety on site by enabling the measuring of points in locations that are inaccessible or put the user at risk. By updating the pole height automatically in the field software, the system ensures that the height on record is always correct, which avoids errors, time-consuming postprocessing and returning to the field to remeasure. Additionally, the AP20 AutoPole’s target identification ensures the user’s instrument will always lock to the correct target. The innovation is another step towards autonomous workflows in line with Hexagon’s mission to develop autonomous solutions that lead to increased productivity, safety and sustainability.

“在Leica Geosystems，我们了解到时间表紧迫，对准确的按需数据和预算限制的期望日益增加，给测量师和建筑专业人员带来了很大的压力，” Leica Geosystems的总站商业总监Hans-Martin Zogg说。。“这AP20 AutoPole是一个改变游戏规则的人，因为它同时解决了几个挑战。它的倾斜补偿和自动杆高度读数在行业中绝对是独一无二的，并且将改变专业人员的衡量方式。”

“As a surveying company, the only way we can stay competitive and profitable is to acquire spatial data simply, quickly and efficiently,” said Clifton Webb, director of Warner Surveys. “The Leica AP20 helps us stay ahead of the curve by increasing our productivity and flexibility. It allows us to measure points that were impractical or unsafe to measure before.”
