Sokkia’s sophisticated robot total stations

Sokkia is introducing a lighter and faster line of robotic total stations. The new iX series features ultrasonic technology and is designed to provide smooth and accurate prism-tracking. According to the firm, the UltraSonic motors are the thinnest, lightest, and most reliable on the market. These have a rotation speed of 150°/second and are said to offer the efficiency of a single-operator robotic system and the power of long-range reflectorless measurements of up to 800m and 6,000m with a reflector.
