ABC

A
RED-tech EDM: The ultra-narrow laser beam enables accurate measurements through obstacles such as chain-link fences, tree branches, etc. Broader beam models: Both the fence and wall get measured, which leads to erroneous measurement. C
RED-tech EDM: Measurements at small incident angles, such as with manholes on the road surface, are handled with high precision by the ultra-narrow laser measuring beam. ABC B
RED-tech EDM: The measuring beam is extremely narrow, so distances to walls and corners can be measured with pinpoint accuracy. Broader beam models: Wider measuring beams end up covering a larger area than expected at small incident angles, resulting in measurements that are too long or short. Broader beam models: Awidemeasuring beam hits points near and far at the same time, resulting in inaccurate measurement.

RED-tech EDMs simultaneously sample measuring signals in three different frequencies and calculate distances using an advanced digital signal processing technique. They ensure that the calculation method best suited to the condition of the measuring signals is selected, resulting in unprecedented accuracy and speed.

Ultra-narrow visible laser for pinpoint accuracy

RED-tech EDMs employ an ultra-narrow visible laser to obtain measurements with pinpoint accuracy. Fine objects, as well as the corners of walls and other structures, can be measured precisely. Accurate measurements can be made through obstacles such as chain-link fences and tree branches.

•

With improved optics that provide the ideal light path for emitting and receiving light, the new design dramatically increases reliability by emitting the laser beam from in front of the objective lens to eliminate errors caused by internal refl ection. Its optical components ensure that only the necessary returning light is directed to the receiver for faster, more effi cient measurement.

Multi-functional, high-precision optics

Sokkia has further refi ned its traditional optics system, which now emits measuring light from in front of the objective lens center and receives the returning light along its periphery.

•

Sokkia’s high-precision optical technology makes it possible for its ultra-narrow visible laser beam to be emitted along the same axis as the telescope’s sighting axis. With its one light source, with its one optics system, its multi-functional design enables accurate pointing using a distinct laser spot, pinpoint refl ectorless measurement, as well as long-range distance measurement using prisms or refl ective sheet targets.

The new telescope provides an extremely bright and sharp sight, and its compact size makes sighting easier than ever. 7
