Leica Geosystems Introduces System 2000 Total Stations for High-precision Engineering and Surveying
Written by Leica Geosystems
Tuesday, 24 August 2004
The System 2000 series total stations from Leica Geosystems are designed to provide the highest levels of precision and robustness for the most demanding engineering and surveying jobs.
Comprising the TCA1800, TC2003 and TCA2003, the System 2000 total stations are ideal for applications such as bridge and tunnel building, structural work above and below ground, deformation monitoring of dams and other structures and real-time 3D machine control.
The TC2003 and TCA2003 provide angle measuring accuracy of 0.5” (0.15 mgon) and distance measuring to 1mm ± 1ppm, while the TCA1800 measures angles to 1” (0.3 mgon) and distances to 1mm ± 2ppm. The extended-range TCA2003 can make distance measurements out to 2,500m.
The TCA1800 and TCA2003 come with standard automatic target recognition (ATR) and automatic target tracking. A visible laser guide light and remote control system are options on all System 2000 models.
The robust System 2000 products are designed for reliable, long-lasting performance under the toughest field conditions, with working temperatures -20º to +50ºC, 95% humidity and IP54 protection against dust and water.
Leica Geosystems offers comprehensive office software to support the System 2000, including GeoOffice for surveying and GeoMos for monitoring applications.
Leica Geosystems, with worldwide headquarters in Heerbrugg, Switzerland, develops, manufactures and markets systems for surveying, mapping and position determination. The company has a turnover of almost 700 million Swiss francs and is listed on the Swiss Exchange. Leica currently has 2,370 employees, with 600 located in the United States. It is structured in six divisions: Surveying and Engineering, GIS and Mapping, Metrology, Special Products, Consumer Products and New Businesses. Along with the Swiss facilities, the company also has development and production subsidiaries in America and Asia. Leica Geosystems has 20 wholly-owned sales subsidiaries worldwide and representation in more than 120 countries.
