Benefit:

1. High Precision and Accuracy

• Benefit: The Zoom 90 delivers sub-millimeter distance measurement accuracy (1 mm + 2 ppm), which is essential for precision-critical tasks such as boundary surveys, construction layout, and engineering surveys. This level of accuracy ensures that measurements are reliable and meet project specifications.

2. Enhanced Efficiency with Robotic Functionality

• Benefit: The robotic capabilities allow the total station to be controlled remotely, reducing the need for a second person to hold the prism. This streamlines the surveying process, increases productivity, and reduces manpower costs, especially for tasks requiring long-range measurements or hard-to-reach areas.

3. Long Range Measurement

• Benefit: The Zoom 90 can measure distances up to 5,000 meters without a prism and up to 10,000 meters with a prism. This extensive range makes it suitable for large-scale projects like infrastructure development, mining, and topographic mapping over wide areas, eliminating the need for frequent instrument repositioning.

4. Weather Resistance and Durability

• Benefit: With an IP55 rating, the Zoom 90 is resistant to dust and water splashes, making it ideal for outdoor work in challenging environments. Whether you’re working in rain, snow, or extreme heat, the instrument will continue to perform reliably.

5. Fast and Reliable Measurements

• Benefit: The high-speed EDM (Electronic Distance Measurement) ensures quick, accurate readings, even at long distances. This feature significantly speeds up data collection in the field, allowing for quicker turnaround times and increased productivity on site.

6. Tilt Compensation for Accuracy

• Benefit: The Zoom 90 includes built-in tilt sensors that automatically compensate for any tilt, ensuring that measurements remain accurate even if the total station is not perfectly leveled. This feature saves time by reducing the need for constant manual leveling adjustments during setup.

7. User-Friendly Interface

• Benefit: The large touchscreen and intuitive interface make the Zoom 90 easy to use, even for less experienced operators. Its streamlined navigation reduces the learning curve, allowing for faster deployment and easier access to key functions in the field.

8. Long Battery Life

• Benefit: With extended battery life, the Zoom 90 can operate for long periods without needing to recharge. This is particularly beneficial for fieldwork in remote locations where access to power sources is limited. It ensures that the instrument is ready for long surveying days without downtime.

9. Data Integration and Flexibility

• Benefit: The Zoom 90 integrates well with GeoMax’s X-Pad and FieldGenius software, offering seamless data collection, processing, and analysis. It supports various file formats like DXF, CSV, and more, making it easy to import, export, and share data with other devices or software platforms. The flexibility in data handling allows for smoother collaboration with other team members or stakeholders.

10. Cost-Effectiveness

• Benefit: Despite offering advanced features like robotic capabilities, high accuracy, and long-range measurements, the Zoom 90 is a cost-effective solution for surveying professionals. By combining multiple functionalities in one instrument, it eliminates the need for additional equipment, saving money in the long run.

11. Scalable with GNSS Integration

• Benefit: The optional GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System) integration allows for hybrid measurements, combining the benefits of both total station and GNSS technologies. This is especially useful for larger projects or situations where high-accuracy geospatial data is required across diverse terrains. It enhances flexibility, especially in GNSS-challenged areas (like urban canyons or dense forests).

12. Improved Productivity and Safety

• Benefit: By reducing the need for multiple surveyors and enabling automated tracking and measurement, the Zoom 90 increases field productivity while reducing safety risks. The remote control feature means fewer personnel are required in potentially hazardous locations, such as busy construction sites or dangerous terrain.
