问答在Leica TS13中档机器人总站

Leica Geosystems的商业总监TPS Hans-Martin Zogg讨论了新的Leica TS13如何支持该行业。

The Leica TS13 was recently introduced to the market. Can you tell us more about this new automated total station?

The Leica TS13 is Leica Geosystems’ new mid-range automated total station. It is scalable and provides an attractive starting point to Leica Geosystems’ automated total stations. The TS13 has been developed for the civil engineering industry focussing on utilities. For measurement tasks such as determining the position of an existing pipe, the TS13 is the ideal measurement instrument. Furthermore, it allows users to lay out the position of pipe installations before they are build. This new automated total station can perfectly support the utilities industry due to its versatility in taking measurements as well as doing the layout.

Can you highlight and briefly describe the characteristics of the new TS13 total station?

The TS13 total station is automated and upgradable. Furthermore, it gives the users unrivalled support and offers the highest quality. Its performance and reliability allow users to complete demanding measuring tasks. The Leica TS13 is upgradable, customers can purchase a TS13 with only a 4-button keypad and later, if needed, to upgrade to a total station with keyboard and display unit. It can also be upgraded from a two-person surveying instrument to a one-person surveying instrument by adding the Lock and Robotic option. The Leica TS13 mid-range total station is designed and tested to the same quality standards as theLeica TS16high-end total station.

With many other automated total stations on the market today, why and when should users invest in the TS13?

Leica TS13的设计是考虑到寻求高质量和可靠性的客户，但最佳测量绩效对于他们的日常任务并不重要。当客户寻找最低的总拥有成本（购买价格之和一生中的支持和服务之和）并在其仪器的寿命上拥有最大的可靠性时，他应投资于TS13，但测量绩效并不是他的关键要求。

通常，在极端条件下，总bob apple站经常在各种站点上使用。TS13总站确保在任何艰难的工作现场条件下可靠性和耐用性最大，避免了可能导致直接和间接成本的失败，例如延迟，错过的截止日期和声誉丧失。

What is the difference between the Leica TS13 and the Leica TS16?

Besides the ability to upgrade, the Leica TS13 with “Lock” functionality, display and robotic capability, its overall measurement performance is 10-25% less compared to the Leica TS16 total station. This means that less points can be measured and laid-out during a working day comparing to measurements done with a Leica TS16.

性能差异主要起源于自动目标瞄准技术。TS13使用ATR技术，而TS16使用ATRPLUS技术。ATRPLU具有自学习能力，更好的锁定稳定性和更长的范围。此外，TS13配备了SpeedSearch来快速搜索棱镜，而TS16配备了PowerSearch，该PowerSearch甚至更快地搜索并找到Prisms。最后，TS13具有降低的键盘，没有功能键，可快速访问功能，例如TS16功能。

与TS16相比，什么时候使用TS13的最合适时间？

The TS13 is used when users need to measure a few points per day. This means that measurement performance is not crucial, but quality and reliability matters. The TS13 is a perfect solution for customers in utility and civil engineering industry that measure objects or layout design data occasionally.

TS13具有SpeedSearch技术。这项技术可以做什么，它给现场客户带来什么好处？

TS13配备了SpeedSearch技术，该技术使用户可以快速找到并锁定到Prism。Speedsearch在左旋棱镜以及莱卡360°棱镜上工作。杆侧无需其他设备即可快速搜索棱镜。这使得极点光，用户不依赖杆侧的任何其他电池电源。

TS13的SpeedSearch和TS16的PowerSearch之间有什么区别？

SpeedSearch是TS13的快速搜索方法，PowerSearch是TS16的快速搜索方法。这两种方法之间的主要区别是搜索和找到棱镜的时间。两者都由水平和垂直搜索组成；使用SpeedSearch，水平和垂直搜索较慢。PowerSearch检测到与棱镜的距离，并加速了比100米的棱镜的垂直搜索速度。SpeedSearch搜索搜索速度与棱镜的距离无关。

In addition, the TS16 is equipped with a PowerSearch filter which allows to exclude prisms or other reflective objects from being detected with the PowerSearch search. This speeds up the fast prism search with PowerSearch significantly compared to the search with SpeedSearch.

ATR和ATRPLUS有什么区别？

ATR技术是总站的自动目标识别。这项技术对于瞄准和锁定棱镜至关重要。锁定棱镜意味着该工具正在遵循棱镜。TS13配备了ATR和TS16，并配备了ATRPLUS技术。ATR和ATRPLUS技术之间的区别在于瞄准范围和锁定性能。无论棱镜在测量杆上还是在移动的机器上，aTRPLUS的开发是为了使仪器锁定在棱镜上。

根据规格，ATR的测量范围高达1000m，ATRPLUS的测量范围高达1500m。Atrplus的锁定性能在较短的范围内更强，而与ATR相比，望远镜的视野中有几个棱镜并互相交叉时。ATRPLUS使用内部虚拟目标ID，并可以使用其专用的内部虚拟ID遵循Prism。如果这种棱镜在另一个棱镜后面或后面移动，则ATRPLUS可以在正确的Prism上保持独立。Atrplus还可以锁定由于在杆子或机器上设置的棱镜摇动或振动。
