This locking system prevents tribach movements of topographic tripods of motorized measurement equipment.
Researchers from the Technical University of Madrid have developed a non-rotating lock system for a modified tribrach. The system developed prevents movement of the topographic locking device regarding its stand-by position, as it is much more firmly held than with previous systems. The system avoids the device’s rotation with respect to tribrach, integrating and establishing a single reference system during the whole observation period.
The anti-rotation blocking system proposed in the present invention comprises a locking element which fixes its tribrach adapter. It consists of the following parts:
This locking system is firstly introduced in the tribrach and subsequently in the tribrach adapter. The first hole is frusto-conically shaped and the second is screw-shaped to be screwed in.
“This invention prevents rotation of the tribrach adapter and the device, integrating them”
“Globally, the demand for infrastructure requires 57 trillion by 2030”
