High-Speed Precision: Mastering the GT-700 Robotic Total Station with Topcon’s Simon Hyatt

The Learning Curve: A UI Built for Everyone

Simon Lunt (PQS): Simon, many hire customers switch to Topcon for the first time. What wins them over?

Simon Hyatt (Topcon): “The user interface is often the biggest surprise. We designed it to be as intuitive as a smartphone. People who have never used Topcon find they can navigate menus and start measuring immediately. It removes the anxiety associated with high-end robotic units.”

The Power of Brushless: Ultrasonic Motor Technology

Simon: How much of the GT-700’s speed is down to the brushless motors?

Simon Hyatt: “The Ultrasonic brushless motors are the heart of the machine. Our design is faster, quieter, and more durable than traditional geared motors. It allows the GT-705 to track a prism at speeds geared units simply cannot match, even in challenging site conditions.”
