FOCUS 30 Total Station

Improve your Field Efciency
with a Robotic Total Station

Featuring World Class
Spectra Precision
FieldSoftware

Introducing the powerful Spectra
Precision
fully robotic motorized solution provides
improved speed, accuracy and precision
in measurement. A robotic instrument
moves the power of the observer
from the instrument to the range pole
improving the quality of your work.

All robotic instruments include:

StepDrive

The speed of observation and precise
positioning of the FOCUS 30 robotic
total station is provided by patented
StepDrive
the horizontal and vertical motion of the
motors, so there is no need for traditional
motion locks. Using the motorized drives
it is possible to precisely turn to, and
repeat angle measurements. This results
in quick and reliable measurements
which substantially increases your
stakingproductivity.

technology. StepDrive controls

LockNGo

The Robotic and LockNGo™ FOCUS 30
models include a tracking sensor that
uses LockNGo technology enabling
the instrument to constantly lock onto
the prism. The benet of LockNGo
technology is the ability to follow the
prism at all times and reduces downtime
from not having to re-point the instrument
on every observation.

Communication Link

To maintain contact between the
FOCUS30 instrument and the remote
observer with the range pole and prism,
the robotic solution must include a
communication link. The FOCUS 30 uses
an integrated 2.4GHz radio modem as
does the Spectra Precision Ranger
data collector. The 2.4GHz radio
modems provide interference free robotic
data communications. Once your robotic
communications have been established
you can control all the functions of
the FOCUS30 from the range pole as
you move through the job site making
measurements. This makes it possible
for a single surveyor to perform high
accuracy stakeout, layout or topographic
surveys by themselves. From high-order
control surveys to topographic data
collection or fast-paced construction
layout, you can rely on a FOCUS 30, even
in harsh outdoor conditions.

FOCUS 30 and
SurveyPro

Combined with Spectra Precision Survey

™

Pro

eld software, providing you with
world class software solutions for any
surveying situation. An example of
these features includes a unique robotic
software technology that can be used
when associating the FOCUS 30 with a
low-cost GPS receiver and Survey Pro
software. This combination of technologies
allows the user to take full advantage
of the Spectra Precision GeoLock
technology to keep locked on target.

™

The Spectra Precision
GeoLock technology

Offered in Survey Pro this technique
allows a robotic total station to perform an
aided search for an optical target using an
initial GPS position. The remote instrument
can then be directed towards the robotic
roving operator using the GPS position and
a subsequent search is quickly performed
to re-acquire the target at the robotic rover.
This technique greatly reduces wasted
time, improving your eld work efciency.

FOCUS 30 and
LayoutPro

Spectra Precision Layout Pro™ software
and the FOCUS 30 together offer the
convenience of carrying, managing,
editing, and laying out your job site
blueprint. This combination is a critical
tool in the eld of construction layout
and is designed to make the layout
process more productive, accurate and
reliable. For example, use Layout Pro to
guide the layout of the major points, add
string dimensions on the print, as well as
calculate diagonals and angles.
