Tokyo, August 19, 2009. PENTAX launches two new Total Station Series and enhances two existing ones. All four new Series stand for innovation, quality, design, performance and affordability.
The R-400V Series Total Stations is the first of two new series to be launched during Intergeo 2009 in Karlsruhe. The R-400V Series is the entry-model total station without discussion. It is equipped with all standard features of todays market needs such as a large LCD display, visible laser plummet, dual axis compensation, internal memory of 45.000 points, RS-232C data transfer cable, USB connection and SD card slot. The R-400V Series is available in 2, 3 and 5 angle measurement accuracy and has a measurement range up to 400m in reflectorless mode, and up to 7000m with single prism.
With entry-model, PENTAX wants to emphasize that the R-400V Series can be upgraded to the second new Series of Total Stations, the R-400VDN Series Total Stations, just by simply installing the camera module. The R-400VDN Series is a unique series with no comparison in the market. Equipped with a 3MP camera, on top of all standard features of the R-400V, the R-400VDN is ideal for specific applications requiring a high level of accuracy and verifiability. Whether for crime scene and accident investigation, architecture and cultural heritage, archaeology, quarrying or general construction, infrastructure and road construction, the R-400VDN provides the user with an extra level of verifiability and eliminates any possible confusion. The R-400VDN Series is available in 3 and 5 angle measurement accuracy.
The existing R-400 and W-800 Series have both been enhanced with a Long Range reflectorless measurement of 550m, and up to 9000m measurement with a single prism. A new model of 1 angle measurement accuracy has been added to the existing 2, 3 and 5 models.
The PowerTopoCE software for W-800 Series Total Stations has been enhanced to meet the new needs created by the improvements of the W-800 Series, such as the 1 accuracy, but is also enhanced with new features such as the Road Design Module, direct installation onto the W-800 Total Station, and additional options in the existing applications.
The R-400V, R-400VDN and R-400 Series are all standard equipped with the improved version of the onboard PowerTopoLite software. The PowerTopoLite software has been supplied with the previous total stations, R-300 and V-300 Series, and is now enhanced with additional features and applications such as the Road Design application.
