Every extra person on site adds cost. With GeoMax Zoom95 full robotic capabilities, a single surveyor can handle any job alone. The Zoom95 automatically locates and locks onto the prism, tracks movement across the site, and gives you full control with the help of X-PAD Ultimate software.
What is the GeoMax Zoom95?
The GeoMax Zoom95 is the true flagship of the GeoMax TPS portfolio. Developed by GeoMax, a brand under the Hexagon Group, this high-precision robotic total station is engineered to substantially minimise the time of any survey task while maximising performance and accuracy.
At its core, the Zoom95 is a fully robotic, one-person operable total station. It eliminates the traditional need for a second operator, reducing both labour costs and logistical complexity. With its advanced automation technology, sophisticated field software integration, and rugged build quality, it is the go-to instrument for professionals who demand the best.
What is STReAM360 Technology?
The Zoom95's standout feature is its STReAM360 technology. It’s a fully integrated robotic tracking system that automatically searches for, locks onto, and continuously tracks a prism.
This technology operates through three intelligent modes:
Scout360: A vertical laser fan is emitted from the rotating instrument. As soon as reflections from a prism are received, the Zoom95 accurately aims towards that prism. This enables rapid prism acquisition without any manual intervention.
TRack360: Once locked on, the instrument continuously tracks the target, remaining accurately aimed even when the target is moving quickly. This ensures uninterrupted measurements during dynamic survey operations.
AiM360: The Zoom95 aims accurately at any prism without the need to look through the telescope. This remote aiming feature significantly improves operational efficiency and enables truly seamless one-person workflows.
Together, these three capabilities make the Zoom95 one of the most capable robotic total stations on the market, enabling surveyors to cover more ground, capture more data, and complete projects in less time.
Precision You Can Rely On
The Zoom95 A5 is specified at 5 arc-second angular accuracy, making it ideal for a wide range of professional surveying and construction applications. Combined with its ccXess5 EDM (Electronic Distance Measurement) module, the instrument delivers reliable and repeatable measurements across varying distances and conditions.
Modern Data Capturing and Handling
Gone are the days of paper plans and manual data entry. The Zoom95 is built for the digital job site:
- Upload CAD drawings and project plans directly onto the instrument or into the X-PAD Ultimate field software
- Edit CAD drawings conveniently on-site using the instrument's large, full-colour VGA touchscreen display
- Handle even large files quickly thanks to the Zoom95's high-performance processor
- Utilise the unique X-TILT feature. This feature automatically calculates a point's position, making it possible to measure inaccessible points. The instrument's alphanumeric keyboard and VGA colour touchscreen display ensure intuitive navigation and fast data entry in all site conditions.
Seamless Workflow with Maximum Flexibility
X-PAD software and the Zoom95 robotic TPS are carefully developed to work together seamlessly. The Zoom95 A5 package runs on WinCE, with the instrument's built-in interface providing a complete onboard solution for those who prefer to operate directly from the total station itself.
Connectivity and Data Management
The Zoom95 is equipped with comprehensive connectivity options to keep your data flowing:
- Internal Bluetooth for wireless communication with field controllers and prisms
- USB port for fast, direct data transfer
- SD Card slot for onsite data storage and backup
For cloud-based data management, X-PAD 365, GeoMax's web-based cloud platform, allows survey data to be accessed, stored, and shared via the File Manager. The automatic backup feature ensures your data is always safe, while the Collaborative Survey and Stakeout feature enables multiple users to work simultaneously on the same project, sharing real-time surveyed points and drawings.
