Total stations
Trimble SX12
Engineered for every day.
By combining innovative technology with intuitive functionality the Trimble® SX12 scanning total station saves time and maximizes efficiency.
Benefits and performance
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.
Quick data capture
26,600 points per second (scanning) / 1.6 s total station measuring time (prism mode)
Highly accurate
1" angular accuracy & 1 mm + 1.5 ppm prism accuracy
Precise laser pointer
3 mm diameter spot at 50 m
