Portugal’s mining strategy may favour copper over lithium
Portugal already has the largest copper mine in the European Union, operated by Lundin Mining.
(NORCROSS,GA, 2 May 2014) – Leica Geosystems now offers the Leica iCON CC55 controller, a versatile and rugged PDA with a 3.5” colour display to its iCON construction portfolio. The handheld easily controls Leica iCON sensors and runs the iCONstruct field software. The Leica iCON CC55 has QuadraClear™ sunlight readable display and a fast 1GHz processor.
The Leica iCON CC55 is a smaller option to the 7” Tablet PC Leica iCON CC65/66 field controller and is fully integrated into Leica Geosystems’ unique iCON portfolio of hardware and software solutions. It runs the Leica iCON build or site software to display and connect measured points for as-built data capturing or to lay out points and construction lines directly from the digital construction plan. The controller provides flexible options for data communication and an extensive data storage.
The perfect controller for any job on-site
The Leica iCON CC55 can be used to control the Leica iCON robot total stations, enabling one-person operation, saving time and increasing productivity for construction layout tasks and as-built checks. The optional Long-Range Bluetooth® allows communication with the iCON robot 50 at distances of more than 350 m/1150 ft. Alternatively, the iCON CC55 can be used as a data logger with the Leica Builder manual total station. Together with the versatile Leica iCON gps 60 SmartAntenna, the iCON CC55 creates a compact and light-weight GPS rover system.
Additional Features
The iCON CC55 runs the state-of-the-art Windows Embedded Handheld 6.5 operating system and comes with 256MB NAND Flash memory and 8GB of extended storage, enabling extensive data process and storage capacity. An internal WLAN module and Long Range Bluetooth® offer users impressive distance communication and the longer life 5.6Ah battery lets users easily complete a full day’s work. The iCON CC55 also comes equipped with a 5 MP Camera so users can document their construction projects.
Availability
The new Leica iCON CC55 is available immediately. More details and ordering information can be obtained from all authorised Leica Geosystems construction tools distribution partners.
