Carlson CRT Robotic Total Station | 1" or 2"

Data Sheet

Overview

The Carlson CRT Robotic Total Station is a high-precision, Android-based robotic instrument designed for one-person surveying and construction layout. Engineered for speed, accuracy, and quiet operation, the CRT uses TDrive motor technology to deliver frictionless, gearless movement with rotation speeds up to 180° per second, making it one of the fastest robotic total stations in its class.

Available in 1″ or 2″ angle accuracy, the CRT provides reliable performance for boundary surveys, control work, topographic mapping, and construction staking. Its long-range EDM supports both reflectorless and prism measurements, while native Android functionality and Carlson SurvPC integration enable efficient field workflows and hybrid GNSS operation.

Key Features

High-Speed Robotic Performance
TDrive motor technology delivers smooth, silent robotic motion with rotation speeds up to 180° per second, reducing wear and maintenance while improving target acquisition.

Accuracy Options
Available in 1″ or 2″ angular accuracy to match project requirements.

Long-Range Distance Measurement
Reflectorless range up to 1000 m (3281 ft).
Prism range up to 6000 m (19,685 ft) with millimeter-level accuracy.

Fast EDM Measurement
Prism measurements as fast as 0.3 seconds in tracking mode.
Reflectorless measurements typically 0.8 seconds under normal conditions.

Advanced Robotic Targeting
High-speed prism pursuit and aiming with millimeter-level precision, even on moving targets.

Integrated Android Platform
Built-in Android operating system with onboard software and dual 6 inch color touchscreens, allowing intuitive operation without an external controller.

Hybrid GNSS Capability
Supports hybrid workflows when paired with compatible GNSS receivers in Carlson SurvPC, including GPS search routines and tilted pole measurements.

Rugged Jobsite Design
IP65 rated for dust and water protection.
Operating temperature range from -4 °F to 122 °F (-20 °C to 50 °C).
