Trimble RTS 873 3″ DR HP Vision Robotic Total Station
The Trimble RTS 873 3″ DR HP Vision Robotic Total Station is a high-performance construction layout instrument designed to deliver speed, precision, and reliability on modern jobsites. Built with advanced robotic and visual technology, this total station supports efficient one-person operation while maintaining exceptional accuracy in demanding construction environments.
Advanced Construction Layout Technology
Trimble RTS 873 is engineered to enhance layout performance through intelligent automation and real-time visualization. By combining robotic control with integrated imaging, this system allows professionals to manage layout tasks with confidence and efficiency.
Robotic Operation with Trimble VISION
The 100 percent robotic functionality enables operators to control layout tasks remotely using live video streaming on a Trimble Field Tablet. Trimble VISION technology provides clear visual feedback directly from the instrument’s perspective, allowing accurate point placement and improved control across the jobsite.
Visual Verification for Accurate Documentation
Visual Verification supports precise documentation by overlaying design data such as points and linework onto real-world images within Trimble Field Link software. This capability ensures that field conditions and design intent are aligned while creating reliable visual records for reporting and quality control.
Green Laser Pointer for High Visibility Layout
The Trimble RTS 873 features an autofocusing green laser beam designed to improve visibility and accuracy during reflectorless layout tasks. The bright green beam remains clearly visible across various distances, allowing faster point identification and reducing layout errors even in challenging lighting conditions.
Uneven Surface Correction for Interior Accuracy
When paired with Trimble Field Link software on a tablet, the RTS 873 compensates for uneven floors and ceilings. This correction ensures precise horizontal positioning, which is essential for interior construction projects where elevation inconsistencies can impact layout quality.
Built for Construction Environments
Designed specifically for construction professionals, the Trimble RTS 873 delivers optimal speed, accuracy, and durability. The integration of Trimble DR HP Precision EDM and Trimble VISION allows users to handle complex layout requirements with confidence and flexibility.
Automatic Servo Focus and MagDrive Technology
The automatic servo focus system adjusts optical focus instantly, enabling fast manual aiming during direct reflex measurements. MagDrive servo technology provides smooth, quiet, and precise motion control, improving both performance and reliability in daily operations.
Key Performance Capabilities
The Trimble RTS 873 is capable of laying out points in as little as ten seconds, supporting rapid progress on large-scale projects. The integrated digital camera allows users to view and record actual jobsite conditions directly from the total station, enhancing field documentation and reporting accuracy.
Robotic radio communication operates on a 2.4 GHz frequency with a working range of up to 700 meters. Distance measurement accuracy in prism mode reaches plus or minus two millimeters plus two parts per million, while reflectorless measurements are effective up to 120 meters. Angular accuracy is optimized with three arc seconds horizontally and two arc seconds vertically.
Technical Specifications Overview
Leveling and Compensation System
The instrument includes a circular level mounted in the tribrach and a centered dual-axis automatic compensator. This system provides high leveling accuracy and stability across a wide working range, ensuring dependable measurements on uneven terrain.
Servo System and Rotation Performance
MagDrive servo technology integrates electromagnetic direct drive with angle sensors to deliver fast and precise rotation. The instrument achieves rapid face-to-face rotation and high-speed positioning, supporting efficient layout workflows.
Centering and Optical System
The Trimble 3-pin centering system and built-in optical plummet allow accurate instrument setup. The optical system supports short focusing distances and clear magnification, improving usability across various site conditions.
Power Supply and Operating Time
The RTS 873 is powered by rechargeable lithium-ion batteries designed for extended operation. A single internal battery supports several hours of use, while multi-battery adapters significantly extend working time for long construction shifts. Robotic and video-assisted operations are optimized to balance performance and battery efficiency.
Environmental Durability and Security
This total station is built to operate in temperatures ranging from extreme cold to high heat and is protected against dust and water with an IP55 rating. Dual-layer password protection adds an extra level of security, ensuring that data and system access remain protected on the jobsite.
Robotic Range and Tracking Accuracy
The robotic and autolock system supports long-range tracking with both passive prisms and Trimble MultiTrack targets. High pointing precision and fast target search times allow consistent performance even in dynamic construction environments.
Weight and Physical Design
The Trimble RTS 873 maintains a balanced design that combines durability with portability. Its optimized weight distribution supports stable setup while remaining manageable for transport and daily use on construction sites.
