Total station can measure ground elevation, building height, distance, angle and direction of roads, bridges, tunnels and canals. In the field of geological exploration, total station can also be used to measure the dip and dip angle of rock mass, the position and thickness of strata, the diameter of crater, the velocity of lava and so on.
In addition, total station is also an indispensable tool in construction engineering. For example, it can check the inclination and smoothness of concrete, measure the size and levelness of building columns, and check the pressure and flow of hoses.
In a word, total station is widely used in geographic information system, geological exploration, construction engineering and other aspects, which can help engineers, geologists and other professionals to complete various surveying tasks efficiently and make the construction process more accurate, efficient and safe.
Composition of total station:
1, telescope system:
Telescope system is the core part of total station, which is used to measure the position and angle of target point. Usually includes the telescope itself, eyepiece, measuring prism, prism bracket and other parts.
2, automatic positioning system:
The automatic positioning system is the key part to realize the automatic positioning of total station, which can automatically locate and determine the coordinates of total station through satellite signals.
3. Angle measuring system:
The angle measuring system is usually composed of level, vertical instrument and goniometer, which can measure the angle and orientation between the target point and the total station.
4, height measurement system:
The height measurement system is mainly used to measure the height difference between the target point and the total station, which usually includes an altimeter and an inclinometer.
5. Distance measurement system:
The ranging system is mainly used to accurately measure the distance between the target point and the total station, and laser technology is usually used to realize the measurement.
6. Control panel and data processing system:
The control panel and data processing system are the operation interfaces of the total station. The instrument can be set and adjusted through the control panel, and the collected data can also be processed and stored.
