Sokkia Corporation releases the new Series 50RX reflectorless total stations with a breakthrough environmental durability, increased measurement speed and an array of new features.

Expanded Operating Temperature Range

The high-temperature models are newly added for use in the heat of up to +60°C without compromising the lowest operating temperature of -20°C.

The standard models operate in -20°C to +50°C. The low-temperature models are also available for use in -30°C to +50°C. Using a built-in temperature sensor, all models automatically maintain optimal contrast and visibility of the LCD display.

Highest Protection against Dust and Water

The instrument includes: Dust-tight IP6x, the highest grade of protection to prevent solid foreign objects, and IPx6: which protects the instrument against damage by powerful water jets from any direction.

Enhanced EDM Performance

The 50RX series reflectorless measurement range is extended to 400m. In addition, the variation of measurement time due to different ranges and object types are reduced by 30 percent to increase total measurement speed. The Series 50RX displays the measurement results within 1.7 to 4.2 seconds under any circumstances.

The 2" models are newly equipped with the IACS to further increase measurement stability. The IACS is commonly used in the high-end models with 0.5"/1"/2" angle accuracies of NET, SRX and SET X.

Extremely simplified angle encoder system consists of minimum number of optical and mechanical parts. This system also features innovative technology to automatically detect and correct misreading of encoder patterns.

Other Features Include:

 – Narrow red EDM beam for pinpoint reflectorless measurement
 – Class 1 safe laser output in prism/sheet modes
 – New built-in laser plummet option for quick instrument setting
 – Green/red Guide Light is built into the telescope as a standard feature
 – SD or SDHC card slot and USB flash memory slot are newly added
 – Built-in Bluetooth module option for wireless communication with a data collector
 – Password protection to prevent unauthorized use.
