Trimble Universal Total Stations

The Trimble SPS730 and SPS930 are high-precision surveying instruments that combine angle and distance measurement with advanced robotic functionality, and in the case of the SPS930, support for machine control workflows through real-time positioning data. Designed for construction professionals, they bring unparalleled accuracy and versatility to the job site.

The Trimble SPS730 and SPS930 Universal Total Stations are engineered to handle every task on site—from stakeout and layout to fine grading and real-time machine control—with a single, powerful instrument.

Trimble MultiTrack™ technology locks onto both passive prisms and active targets, making it ideal for control measurements, layout tasks and machine guidance. The ability to track active targets ensures consistent lock in high-dust environments and allows crews to avoid interference from nearby instruments.

• Tracks both passive and active targets with precision
• Supports up to 16 unique active target channels
• Prevents costly delays from signal confusion between crews and machines

The patented MagDrive™ system uses magnetic levitation for silent, high-speed motion, delivering fast response and low wear.

• Turns up to 115° per second
• Offers endless horizontal and vertical motion with fine adjustments
• Enables faster aiming, grading and tracking near the total station
• Reduces servo noise and mechanical wear

SurePoint™ technology automatically corrects for instrument tilt, ensuring your horizontal and vertical angles remain accurate even if the total station is not perfectly level during setup.

• Eliminates errors from minor mislevelment
• Improves setup speed without compromising precision

The SPS930 offers a 20 Hz update rate for fast, low-latency data transfer to machines. This enables real-time feedback for fine grading and other precision tasks.

• Consistent, fixed update rate for synchronous positioning
• Ideal for dozers, graders and pavers operating at tight tolerances
• Reduces rework and increases productivity

With DR scanning at 3Hz, users can safely collect profile and volume data from stockpiles, rock faces and slopes without physical access.

• Enables reflectorless vertical and sloping profile scans
• Speeds up stockpile volume calculations
• Improves safety during terrain and tunnel assessments

Trimble SPS730 and SPS930 models are purpose-built for:

• Stakeout and layout of structures, foundations, caissons and piles
• High-accuracy machine control for grading, paving, milling and excavation
• As-built verification and material grade checking
• Tunnel measurements and underground works
• Reflectorless measurement of inaccessible or hazardous locations
• Scanning of stockpiles, slopes and cuttings
• Use on small construction sites or combined with GNSS for large sites

These versatile instruments reduce equipment needs and streamline site operations, especially in environments that demand millimetre-level accuracy.

Both models operate with Trimble Siteworks Software via a Trimble controller or tablet and use the long-range Trimble DR Standard reflectorless EDM for precise single-shot measurements. Both the SPS730 and the SPS930 deliver Trimble's renowned accuracy and technology, but with key differences in capability:

The SPS730 is designed for efficient one-person operation, making it a versatile tool for layout, stakeout, and general surveying tasks on construction sites. As a robotic total station, it automatically follows the prism and communicates position data back to the controller in real time.

This model is best suited for tasks that require precise measurement and layout, without the need for machine guidance. It excels in site setup, topographic surveys, and as-built data collection where high accuracy is needed but machine tracking is not required.

The SPS930 builds on the robotic capabilities of the SPS730, adding Universal Total Station (UTS) functionality for machine control applications. It is capable of dynamically tracking machine-mounted targets and transmitting positioning data in real time, with a fixed 20 Hz update rate for low-latency performance.

This model is ideal for earthworks, fine grading, and paving operations where millimetre accuracy is essential. The SPS930 is a go-to solution for contractors needing precision machine control integrated into their workflows.
