Calibration was the last barrier to millimetre guidance for many contractors. A total-station-free procedure removes it.
The barrier
For years technology promised millimetre precision at the blade. For many contractors one barrier remained: calibration — a complex, time-consuming step that usually required a total station and a specialist visit.
The new procedure
- Guided on-screen routine using the RTK receiver alone.
- Completed by the operator in under 15 minutes.
- Repeatable when the machine moves to a new site.
- Validation check reports residuals before work starts.
Impact
- No specialist visit for routine recalibration.
- Machine guidance becomes viable on smaller, shorter-duration jobs.
