Benefits and performance

The SX12 collects high-quality, high-speed scan data, providing detailed site context in a seamless workflow that enables informed and faster project-based decisions.

High accuracy, high quality

The Trimble SX12 total station achieves 1” angular accuracy. This high accuracy is combined with our most precise EDM that produces extremely clean point clouds, saving you time cleaning the data later.

Vivid, eye-safe laser pointer

Aim, measure and mark effortlessly with a vivid green laser pointer with the smallest point size in the industry, just 3 mm at 50 m, that's still eye safe.

26,600 points per second (scanning) / 1.6 s total station measuring time (prism mode)

1" angular accuracy & 1 mm + 1.5 ppm prism accuracy

3 mm diameter spot at 50 m

Navigate

Trimble VISION^™ camera system includes three integrated and calibrated cameras in the telescope for simple navigation and documentation.

Collect

Easily collect and check data quality and accuracy with Trimble Access^™ software, whether checking your backsight, or doing a live surface inspection against an IFC model.

Fast rotation

Turn-to points silently, quickly, and precisely with Trimble MagDrive^™ technology.

Process and deliver

Process data and create reports with Trimble Business Center or Trimble RealWorks^™ office software for more advanced scan processing.

Trimble solutions facilitate high-quality, productive workflows and data exchange, driving value for a global, diverse user base.
