Trimble RTS873-FT Robotic Total Station

Measurements made easy.
Robotic total stations (RTS) are total stations with the ease of remote operation. With one operator, you can perform calculations and inspections in less time than with a traditional total station. Designed specifically for concrete, MEP, and general construction contractors, an RTS helps perform layout tasks quickly and efficiently with precise accuracy.
 
Confidence in every layout.
Robotic total stations, integrated with FieldLink software workflows, help general contractors, MEP and steel and concrete professionals reduce errors, eliminate rework and accelerate project timelines.

• Control projects, cut rework: Precise layout and visual confirmation ensure on-time, on-budget results.
• Precise and faster installations: Pinpoint accuracy for complex layouts, with 3D visualization and video-assisted accuracy checks.
• Accurate structure, efficient build: From foundations to finish, ensure precise placement and real-time progress monitoring.
• Bridge the gap with FieldLink: Seamless data flow, live video overlays, and instant as-built sync for a connected workflow.

Maximize productivity with smart technology.

Reliable target tracking.
RTS total stations precisely track Trimble ActiveTrack and passive targets, delivering flexibility and confidence in measurements at busy jobsites.

Real-time visual verification.
Overlay jobsite points and linework onto live imagery within FieldLink, providing confidence in layout accuracy before installation.

Precise optical focus and manual aiming.
High-quality 30x magnification optics help you aim with accuracy and precision, ideal for contractors setting anchor bolts and structural elements.

Video-assisted workflows.
Trimble VISION delivers live video on the field tablet, enabling click-and-turn aiming, spatial awareness and quick adjustments, improving workflow efficiency for all trades.

ADVANCED TECHNOLOGY FOR CONSTRUCTION LAYOUT
Eliminate the guesswork. With it’s bright, autofocusing green laser, the RTS873 heightens layout precision on the jobsite.

100% Robotic Operation
Trimble® VISION™ provides you with the ability to direct layout with live video images on the Trimble Field Tablet, maximizing your command of the job.

Visual Verification
To provide an accurate documentation of the design and field image that is displayed within the Trimble Field Link software, job data including points and linework are overlaid on the camera image.

GREEN LASER POINTER
Improve layout accuracy and speed of DR layout. The RTS873 autofocusing green beam optimizes visibility of placement points at
all distances.

UNEVEN SURFACE CORRECTION
Combined with Trimble Field Link running on the tablet, this system will compensate for uneven floors and ceilings to ensure positioning accuracy.

BUILT FOR CONSTRUCTION
For construction applications, you need a measurement solution with optimal speed, accuracy and reliability. Combine the Trimble DR HP Precision EDM with Trimble VISION and you have the flexibility to tackle the most demanding projects.

• Visually mark points, with high precision, using the Auto-focusing Class 2 Green Laser Pointer.
• Automatic Servo Focus sets the optical focus for quick manual aiming when laying out points in DR mode.
• Combine with Trimble Field Link software running on the Trimble Field Tablet to optimize your accuracy and productivity.
