Earlier this month, before the annual Intergeo conference held in Germany, Topcon Positioning Systems announced the latest member of its robot total station series. This California based company launched the LN-50 3D laser in early October, marking their latest layout navigator, which has a range of 50 meters.

They pointed out that this latest scanner is specifically designed for homebuilders, mechanical, electrical, plumbing industries, concrete contractors, and other institutions to achieve high-speed accuracy in measurement and layout work, reducing the risk of errors that may lead to rework.

The release of LN-50 provides a more cost-effective alternative to the previously released LN-150, as the name suggests, with a range of 150 meters. However, outside the scope of the scanner, compared to the LN-150, the LN-50 retains other features and measurability, including five inch angle accuracy, self leveling single button setting, RC-5A compatibility, and more.

This series of products has a one click self leveling setting, which can be used comfortably by various trade professionals, especially those that have transitioned from traditional layout and measurement methods to digital workflows, "Ray Kerwin, Global Product Planning Director of Topcon, said in a press statement. If a homebuilder starts using a tape measure and transportation tool to arrange a project, it requires two people to complete the work that one person can do using 3D lasers, so productivity is a key advantage. Another is accuracy. Compared to using a completely manual process, users will be able to arrange the work more accurately.

The company also pointed out that LN-50 is compatible with Topcon's digital layout building construction software. This software is compatible with CAD and BIM software settings and can be used with the Point Manager plugin in Autodesk Revit or AutoCAD, aiming to make it easy and accurate for anyone with all levels of experience to layout points for a project.

Easy to use digital layout software controls 3D lasers and makes them 'intelligent' so that users can lay out building corners or pipe sleeves, for example, and effectively complete them, "Kerwin said.

These types of innovation and product updates are currently particularly important for the construction industry, which is responding to continuous and sometimes growing demand, as well as a shortage of workers. A major selling point of this latest Topcon version is its ability to work with only one person, without requiring multiple workers to take time out of their schedules to set up and execute projects. It is also built around simplicity, so there is no need for the highest level employees to ensure correct data collection. This not only helps leaner construction companies by relying on fewer and potentially inexperienced workers, but also considers that this is built for smaller and smaller projects, making the cost easier to obtain than other larger and more complex equipment.

This product portfolio reflects our commitment to technological democratization - simplifying and improving the transition from the construction field to digital layout through a cost-effective package, "Kerwin continued. It has a short learning curve and is operated by one person, which is particularly useful in times of labor shortage. By providing higher productivity, accuracy, and quality in an easily accessible system, it strengthens the drive for intuitive innovation for existing and next-generation trade professionals, "Kerwin said.
With this system, companies can undertake larger projects, even accelerating the layout of their projects on the books.
