The 6Ta1 total station was created by the Ural Optical and Mechanical Plant named after E.S. Yalamov (UOMZ), part of the Schwabe holding of the Rostec State Corporation, and is designed for high-precision geodetic surveys.
The angle measurement error of the new total station has been reduced to one second. Furthermore, the device combines the functions of a theodolite, level, and rangefinder. That is, it can determine coordinates, measure distances, and vertical and horizontal angles. Total stations with such technical characteristics have not been previously produced in Russia.
Unlike previous devices in the line, the device has an updated software that provides better interaction of its various mechanisms and increases efficiency. The 6Ta1 has an improved design of angle sensors and improved optical characteristics of the sighting channel. The novelty has increased the stability of the sensor, which shows the level of inclination of objects, such as buildings. The measurement error now does not exceed 0.5 angular seconds, which is several times lower than that of previous models.
The novelty was shown at INNOPROM, which ended this week. The 6Ta1 total station has already received a certificate of approval of the type of measuring instrument and is currently undergoing pilot operation. UOMZ plans to launch mass production by the end of 2025.
