Trimble SPS - Product description & Service information
Trimble SPS is a product line for the Heavy & Highway segment within Construction division.
Product description
Trimble SPSx20 Robotic Total Station
The SPS620 and SPS720 Robotic Total Stations offer a cost-effective solution for construction site
measurement and stakeout operations in Servo, Autolock, or Robotic mode. Both models provide a
robotic operating range of 500 meters, making them ideal for smaller site operations and work on
structures such as bridges or culverts.
The SPS620 and SPS720 use the Trimble DR short-range reflectorless EDM technology for single-
shot measurements and operate with TSC2® or Trimble Tablet running the SCS900 Site Controller
Software. The SPS620 provides 5 arc second accuracy in the vertical and horizontal angles. The
SPS720 provides 3 arc second accuracy in the horizontal angle and 2 arc second accuracy in the ver-
tical, and is well suited to more accurate site positioning work.
Trimble SPSx30 Universal Total Stations
Trimble SPS630, SPS730, and SPS930 Universal Total Stations can be ordered with or without the
machine control option (model codes 721/722/723) and OEM option. These options can later be
installed in the instrument.
Trimble SPS630 Universal Total Stations
Trimble SPS630 5” instrument satisfies all site measurement, stakeout, reflectorless measurement,
and grade control needs from a single instrument. Target customers are contractors performing their
own stakeout and site measurement tasks, who may also be somewhat price sensitive.
Applications
• Smaller operations where most of the work is performed close to the instrument
• In partnership with the GCS900-UTS-based system for excavators this system is typically used
on small sites where the machine operates close to the instrument
• Mining and quarry operations, where an instrument is needed for scanning quarry walls or
stockpiles of material
Trimble SPS730 and SPS930 Universal Total Stations
The SPS730 and SPS930 have been designed to operate as a universal total station. The instruments
have a machine control mode that optimizes the angle and distance measurement system through a
synchronization process that also reduces latency (age) of the data. In addition the instruments when
in machine control mode will output data at a higher rate than conventional total stations (20Hz). The
instrument radio system is designed to reduce jitter significantly, the instrument tracking and search
functions are optimized for dynamic tracking applications, and the instrument also features trajectory
prediction helping reacquire lock after the prism is obscured.
When operated in Site Positioning modes (SCS900 Standing, Walking and Vehicle modes) the instru-
ment will also utilize the high update rates and synchronized data, however the radio master is at the
