Sokkia IX Series Product Review

The iX Series robotic total stations are a trimmed down, high- performance solution. You get the efficiency of a single-operator robotic system, the power of long range reflectorless measurements, and performance as a hybrid positioning solution.

Ultra-powerful

UltraSonic technology is the driving force for the iX Series. The UltraSonic motors are the thinnest, lightest, and most powerful on the market – providing you with the smoothest and most accurate prism- tracking possible. It’s a difference you can see and hear immediately. With a rotation speed of 150° per-second, no matter how fast you move, or how many obstacles are in the way, you cannot outrun the iX.

Ultra-accurate

Our new UltraTrac technology gives you increased prism-tracking strength in all conditions. Advanced instrument algorithms deliver the confidence you need to move ahead. It’s not that you lose line-of-sight, it’s how fast you can reacquire and get back to work.

Ultra-slim and reliable

Featuring a remarkably slimmed down design, the compact system is a third smaller and lighter than previous robotic instruments, yet twice as fast. Without traditional gears or wearing parts, the UltraSonic motors are much more rugged and durable – lasting four times longer than previous total stations, and we back it with a five year warranty.
