DEVELOPING TECHNOLOGY TO EXPAND YOUR OPTIONS
From optimizing traditional methods, to pioneering new ones, Topcon offers a solution to enhance your project's topographic mapping efforts.
Work faster and more easily
This new hybrid positioning solution brings several improvements to your workflow. First, measurements are easier and faster: the tracking speed of the GT Series robotic total station, and TILT™ leveling in the HiPer HR GNSS receiver, allow you to move faster from point to point, and capture each point faster as well.
We've made your interface easy to read and easier to navigate with the large, bright FC-5000. With improved communications range, you can do more work with fewer setups.
The new MAGNET Field 4.0 streamlines your most-used routines and assures fast, easy data connection from office to field to office. Whether your company uses Autodesk or Bentley or Topcon, our integration is seamless.
Greater than the sum of the parts
Each element of the Elite Suite is a powerful productivity tool. The real boost comes when they work together. Users can expect a marked increase in points per day. You'll spend less time moving data from field to office and from application to application. Common software operations are streamlined and better supported by the integration of the instruments. Critically, in marginal conditions the Elite Suite solution will deliver performance beyond the range of the competition.
Integration with both Autodesk and Bentley
MAGNET Enterprise now provides direct toolbar connection with both Autodesk 360 and Bentley ProjectWise cloud systems. Selective layer export and bi-directional file conversion for both platforms makes this connection easy and foolproof. Dozens more improvements support your most efficient workflows.
No holding back with hybrid positioning
The Elite Suite uses both GNSS and robotics in a unified system so that you can capture the shot, regardless of tree cover, loss of line of sight, or hard to reach points. And in the rare instance of losing prism lock, the GNSS information allows the robotic instrument to relock with unprecedented speed.
Dual-class, 3D Terrestrial Scanning
3D laser scanning opens up a wide new approach to carry out land surveys, enabling every site features to be captured incredibly quickly. The GLS-2000 series of scanners can scan up to 500m in any direction at over 100,000 points per second. In a few minutes a precise point cloud of your topo can be obtained with around 6mm accuracy. When used with MAGNET Collage software, the GLS-2000 provides you with a single solution to capture, visualize, and create a CAD model for as-built surveys on various project sites with an unmatched combination of speed, accuracy, and detail.
Improved Field Efficiency

Three GLS-2000 available based on the range requirements of the target application. You can choose the optimal scanning speed / range based on site conditions on a scan-by-scan basis. Each measurement mode setting allows you to achieve specified accuracies on just a single pass, reducing overall time per station setup. Collecting digital scan data eliminates the human error associated with traditional survey methods and the speed of collection far outstrips that of a traditional Total Station survey. Easy to use MAGNET Collage software with its high performance point cloud engine, allows for simple cloud-to-cloud registration and quick creation of CAD deliverables.
High Accuracy Results

Innovative Topcon technology enables the GLS-2000 to consistently deliver the most accurate data possible under any conditions. Topcon’s Precise Scan Technology II enhances the GLS-2000’s time-of-flight measurements. Along with Topcon’s multiple-lens array, these industry-leading technologies result in extremely low-noise data that leads to more accurate as-built data, significant reduction in any re-works costs and better decision making.
More Complete As-built Data Delivered

Customizable scan resolution defaults working in combination with dual (5mp) digital cameras for collecting color imagery, insures that no detail goes uncaptured and field re-visits are unnecessary. After processing in MAGNET Collage software, file export in a broad selection of formats, including CAD files and Topcon’s widely accepted (.cl3), supports today’s most requested design, analysis, and modeling applications.
ON-THE-FLY PRECISION
Eliminate optical line-of-sight restrictions from your project site survey. Even within challenging conditions for sky view, Topcon has earned a solid reputation for tracking and using every signal from above to keep you productive on the ground.
Your crew is more productive, locating site features using graphical, intuitive, and securely connected data collection software to create a realistic representation of the existing field conditions.
But the job does not end there. Instead, once the field measurements are completed, it is a hand off to the next stake holder. Field crews now transfer all data within a single sharable file as they are walking back to the vehicle. Office staff are just a click away to keep any topographic survey project not only accurate, but fast and easy.
RTK ASAP
Job site environments are notorious for throwing "changes and challenges" at us while performing our field work. Topcon's GNSS solutions for topographic efforts meet the challenge each day.
There are multiple options for loudly broadcasting corrections from your mobile base setup including integrated cellular modems, state of the art radio options, and even the convenient choice of long-range Bluetooth™ communication — simply choose the method that works best for you.
Regardless of the communication method, you can continue collecting site detail, making you more productive and more efficient than traditional optical crews.
MUCH MORE THAN TWO
Several situations require a two person crew to arrive and quickly gather high accuracy topographic field measurements.
Whether a quick confirmation of a particular feature or tight details for a specific area, Topcon's lightweight solutions for a two person topographic team are proven.
Safety stays in focus during each session where avoidance zones can be measured and defined to then later offer visual and audible alerts when crews are encroaching any danger zones.
The math for a two person topographic team is easy: 1 + 1 = getting more done than before!
LESS IS MORE

Two person field crews maximized with modern Topcon hardware and software are able to stay connected to the office, instantly generate 3D linework with each screen tap, and even watch the digital surface come to life with each measurement to truly and accurately represent reality.
The result is more than just a single sharable file from MAGNET Field. Within the one transfer from the jobsite, MAGNET Office software will instantly inherit all 3D data, surface files, linework, photo notes, and more.
The manager then is empowered to pause and check on the project's progress using the no-cost MAGNET Enterprise Mobile app for iPad devices. Topcon's hardware and software solutions are streamlined to provide you more with less effort.
