Sokkia’s sophisticated survey system

Sokkia is now adding two new editions to its CX total station series, both featuring enhanced reflectorless operation. The new CX-50 is designed to provide an entry-level option with a fast and powerful EDM. The CX-100LN is built to offer a long-range reflectorless EDM. The CX-50 is said to be easy to use and highly accurate, offering reflectorless electronic distance measurement (EDM) of up to 350m, and EDM of 4,000m with the use of a prism. The firm says that in addition, the CX-100LN features a 2,000m

1090 Sokkia is now adding two new editions to its CX total station series, both featuring enhanced reflectorless operation. The new CX-50 is designed to provide an entry-level option with a fast and powerful EDM. The CX-100LN is built to offer a long-range reflectorless EDM.

The CX-50 is said to be easy to use and highly accurate, offering reflectorless electronic distance measurement (EDM) of up to 350m, and EDM of 4,000m with the use of a prism. The firm says that in addition, the CX-100LN features a 2,000m non-prism pulse EDM that can measure further than non-prism instruments in its class. According to Sokkia, the new algorithm reduces the noise associated with non-prism measurements providing an accurate result to most surfaces over longer distances. This is said to be true for darker surfaces and wet surfaces where other non-prism instruments would fail.

The CX-50 offers 2 and 5 arc second accuracies, a battery life of up to 15 hours, dual axis compensation, a waterproof design, and a laser pointer. The CX-100LN provides 2 and 5 arc second accuracies, a 36-hour battery life, dual axis compensation, a laser pointer, and Bluetooth connectivity.
