Power Plastics are a Yorkshire based manufacturer of covers and tarpaulins; recently they have won several contracts with leisure centres to produce the flooring mats to go beneath climbing walls. Traditional methods of measuring for these mats, often up to 100 metres square but of an irregular shape, proved to be an arduous task. With their new Leica TCR410C total station, this process is much more simple and efficient. more

In early November 2003, the first fully
automated GradeStar-TPS 3D Dozer control
system in Europe was installed at the
Hydrex site in West Drayton, UK. The
GradeStar machine control system, based
on the robotic TPS1100 Total Stations
series, was installed on a Komatsu D41 P-
6 dozer together with Leica Geosystems
ProControl (the core 1D/2D/3D hydraulic
control system). This 3D machine control
system enables dozer operators to complete
grading work in a shorter amount of
time, more efficiently and with greater
accuracy. more
