The IS-3 opens the door to new interior and industrial opportunities! Its unique features are ideal for measurements and layout of HVAC, piping, walls, and fixtures — including photographic backup. The possibilities are endless with the IS-3!
Robotic measurement is great, but there’s always the problems of trees, vehicles, or other obstacles that block the view to the prism. With the IS-3, simply let the built-in cameras find! Turn on Live Video and you can see you and the prism “through the lens.” Touch the prism on the image, and tracking locks on!
The industry’s longest scanning range has been increased almost 20 percent to 6,500 feet! In addition to its dramatic increase in non-prism scanning range, the new IS-3 increases distance measurement speed, automatic scanning speed and improves accuracy.
Stay in the comfort of your vehicle or job trailer and remotely control the aiming, tracking, and measurement of the IS-3!. Its ImageMaster software loads on your PC or laptop and connects to the IS-3 via standard WiFi. You’re in complete, comfortable control of all movements, aiming, measurements, scans, and image recording.
The IS-3 on-board software has 5 different scanning methods that give you versatile and powerful control. Simply define the area of interest as well as the scan density and the IS-3 will scan at a rate up to 20 points per second! Define the surface as a plane, and record shots on a grid interval you select.
Imagine looking back at job site photos 6 months later and having three ways to view:
Features
IS-3 Imaging Station
The world’s first long-range robotic scanning instrument, the IS-3!
The power, accuracy, and speed of a Total Station with the auto-scanning capabilities of a Laser Scanner; Topcon’s IS-3 takes material management, as-built design, and structural/environmental monitoring out of the clouds and puts it at your fingertips…
|
A new way to scan Topcon’s IS-3 combines the best of two worlds, advanced imaging and high-accuracy surveying, incorporating real-time field imagery with spatial data. The IS-3’s powerful functionality is controlled using Topcon’s exclusive ImageMaster™ software that produces “photography with dimension”, a revolutionary and cost effective alternative to laser scanning. |
 |
|
Long Range Scanning Nobody can provide the combination of laser scanning and robotic surveying like Topcon with the IS-3. The long non-prism (6,500’ (2,000m)) robotic instrument now can scan long ranges as well. Mining and monitoring applications can be accomplished with the IS-3. |
 |
|
Remote Networking The IS-3 has WLAN capability and can be controlled remotely. Imagine sitting in the comfort of your office or vehicle and being able to scan, measure, control, and see what the IS-3 is seeing. |

Touch Drive - Turn and select a point on screen Simply touch the screen image to drive the cross hairs where you want. For the highest degree of data accuracy, clarity of image is key. That’s why Topcon incorporates telescopic zoom with a LCD. Using the telescope, pinpoint features to be measured or monitored precisely up to 6,500’ (2,000m) away. |
 |
|
Does more than a robotic instrument! Does more than a laser scanner! The Topcon IS-3 combines the power of both a laser scanner and a robotic instrument into one superior long-range, imaging robotic system. |
|
 |
How it Works Topcon’s IS-3 features dual digital imaging cameras providing a color, real-time image on the touch LCD display. To define a scan area, simply tap the image display, or for uniform measurement of an area, select the grid feature. The IS-3 “locks” these points to their exact position on the image, even when the instrument is rotated. Once all points to be measured are chosen, the IS-3 performs a reflectorless measurement of each point. |
