Sokkia NET05AX and NET1AX Automated 3D Stations

Sokkia’s latest Automated 3D Stations, the NET05AX and NET1AX, are engineered to deliver exceptional precision, speed, and efficiency for structural monitoring and large-scale 3D measurement tasks. These advanced instruments incorporate cutting-edge technology and functional enhancements to meet the demanding requirements of professionals in the field.

Key Features and Benefits

Auto-Pointing Accuracy

The NET05AX and NET1AX models boast improved auto-pointing accuracy. The standard prism accuracy has been enhanced to 1”, ensuring pinpoint precision. Furthermore, the reflective sheet accuracy is significantly improved to 1mm at 50 meters, providing reliable measurements in various conditions.

Extended Reflectorless Range

The NET1AX model offers an impressive reflectorless measurement range of up to 400 meters (1,310 feet) using a Kodak white side (90% reflective). This extended range doubles the capabilities of previous models, allowing for greater flexibility and efficiency in the field.

Increased Rotation Speed

Thanks to the integration of new servo-motors and a refined driving mechanism, the NET05AX and NET1AX feature a maximum rotation speed of 60°/s, a 33 percent increase from earlier models. This enhanced speed significantly reduces total measurement time, making these stations ideal for large-scale monitoring projects.

Enlarged LCD with Automatic Brightness Control

The models come equipped with an enlarged 3.7-inch LCD touch-screen display. The built-in light sensor automatically adjusts the screen brightness, optimizing visibility in various lighting conditions. This ensures that users can comfortably view and interact with the display, regardless of the environment.

Reflector Prescan for Efficient Setup

The Reflector Prescan function enhances initial setup efficiency for structural monitoring. In conjunction with an external control system, the NET-AX models automatically scan predetermined areas to locate the approximate positions of reflectors. This feature is particularly beneficial in low light or dark conditions where human eye recognition is challenging, thus streamlining the setup process and increasing operational efficiency.

Rapid 2D Monitoring

Designed to expedite real-time two-dimensional monitoring, the Rapid 2D Monitoring function allows the NET-AX models to quickly obtain vertical and horizontal angles through an external control system. Utilizing advanced image processing technology, the NET-AX measures angles to reflectors within the telescope’s field of view without requiring precise pointing or distance measurement. This significantly accelerates measurement speed, making it ideal for applications involving subsidence, displacement, or deformation monitoring.

* Note: "Reflector Prescan" and "Rapid 2D Monitoring" functions are available when operating the NET models via command operation from an external PC or other devices.
