New Generation SRX Robotic Total Stations

According to Brice Walker, vice-president of survey sales , in field tests, the new SRX has proved its extremely robust prism tracking capability works in any job site environment even with intensive reflections from behind a prism, or with repetitive interruptions in the line-of-sight. "The instrument's new telescope is optimised for both of the prism tracking and distance measurements while maintaining the industry's highest 2.5 seconds resolving power.

The new RED-tech 800 EDM provides increased measurement range of 800m (2,620ft.) without a reflector, and up to 1,000m (3,280ft.) under specific conditions. Measurement accuracy is increased to 1.5mm + 2ppm when using Sokkia's 360° prism or standard prism. Reflectorless measurement accuracy is enhanced to 2mm + 2ppm.

Walker said, "The new RED-tech 800 employs ultra-high modulation frequencies of up to 468.75MHz for measurement signals, which is 2.5 times higher than the previous RED-tech EX. This extremely short signal wavelength, combined with enhanced digital processing technology, has increased both the measurement range and precision."

The new SRX is equipped with the enlarged 3.7-inch LCD touch-screen display. Using a built-in light sensor, the LCD brightness is automatically adjusted to the optimum level.

Four models are available with different angle accuracy grades: SRX1X (1"), SRX2X (2"), SRX3X (3") and SRX5X (5").
