CAPELLE AAN DEN IJSSEL, The Netherlands – A new, lightweight, compact, robotic prism series and mounts have been announced by Topcon.
The A7 prism series supports the ability to mount a GPS receiver on top of the A7 prism for an integrated robotic and GPS rover solution. Additional accessories, including a regular top mount and a side-mounting option for the RC-3R, are now also available.
Multiple configurations are now available with the A7 series including:
• The integrated GPS mount and A7 prism pole can be used in a GPS network for real-time GPS coordinates that a robotic instrument then uses for resection;
• With a full-size canister prism and RC-3R side-mount, the unit can take difficult prism shots through vegetation, wetland flag markers, and other obstructed views;
• The A7 can also be mounted inverted on a prism pole. By having the ability to mount the prism closer to the ground, construction stakeout can be done with greater precision;
• The RC-3R side-mount can be connected at several angles, allowing very high or very low vertical angles of transmission.

Adopting Cloud computing can save money, but good governance is essential to manage the risk argues Mike Small
