TOKNAV Unleashes T50 Series GNSS Receivers

Receptores GNSS de la serie T50

Inicio TOKNAV presenta los receptores GNSS de la serie T50 — Láser, fotogrametría o RA: tu flujo de trabajo, tu elección 20 de diciembre de 2025 TOKNAV presenta los receptores GNSS de la serie T50 — Láser, fotogrametría o RA: tu flujo de trabajo, tu elección. Guangzhou, China – TOKNAV ha anunciado hoy el lanzamiento mundial de su línea de receptores RTK de mano de la serie T50, que ofrece a los topógrafos tres ’superpoderes“ distintos para el trabajo de campo en un dispositivo de 770 g que mide tan solo 132 mm de diámetro y 83 mm de altura. T50: el módulo de láser verde de 100 m permite a los usuarios capturar puntos remotos o en altura en cuestión de segundos, sin prisma ni personal adicional. Una cámara dedicada de 4224×3200 con asistencia láser garantiza una puntería precisa incluso en superficies difíciles, con un error 3D ≤2,5 cm en un alcance de 5 m. T50Pro: combina una cámara de fotogrametría ultra gran angular de 1/2,6 pulgadas con replanteo en tiempo real mediante RA para obtener planos ricos en imágenes y con corrección de inclinación. Los resultados fotogramétricos se generan en un segundo con una precisión de 2–4 cm entre 2 y 15 m, lo que permite crear una documentación visual cuantificable de las condiciones reales de la obra, al tiempo que se navega hacia las coordenadas de diseño. T50basic: ofrece el mismo replanteo en tiempo real con RA y la misma inmunidad a la inclinación de 60° a un precio de gama básica, manteniendo la arquitectura de constelación completa de 1408 canales de la serie. Todos los modelos comparten el seguimiento de constelación completa (GPS, GLONASS, BDS, Galileo, QZSS, SBAS, NavIC), una carcasa de magnesio con clasificación IP68 y una autonomía de 16 horas. Diseñada para las limitaciones del mundo real La serie T50 funciona con una plataforma abierta Linux+ARM Cortex-A7, lo que permite una integración estable con los ecosistemas de software de campo existentes, en lugar de limitar a los usuarios a entornos cerrados. Al incorporar en toda la gama una compensación de inclinación mediante IMU de alta precisión (con una precisión inferior a 2 cm en un ángulo de 60°), la serie elimina los ”puntos volantes» en las mediciones RTK, al tiempo que permite a los topógrafos trabajar con seguridad alrededor de obstáculos sin necesidad de nivelar el bastón. Esto transforma la compleja captura de puntos —ya sea en infraestructuras elevadas con el láser del T50 o en esquinas sin visibilidad con la cámara del T50Pro— de operaciones que requieren dos personas a flujos de trabajo que puede realizar una sola persona. Diseñada, fabricada y con asistencia técnica desde nuestra fábrica con control de calidad en Guangzhou, Toknav se compromete a convertirse en el proveedor de GNSS más fiable del mundo: buena calidad, buenos productos, buen servicio, en cada envío, siempre. La serie T50 ya está disponible a través de TOKNAV y de distribuidores autorizados en todo el mundo.
