Trimble SX12 – Every Day, Everywhere, Every Job
Laser Pointer Overview
The Trimble SX12 builds upon the SX10 platform that combines a powerful robotic total station with
a high-speed 3D scanner. The SX12 is the next generation of this platform that includes new
internal cameras and an eye-safe, green laser pointer. In order for a laser pointer to be as useful as
possible, it needs to be highly visible and have a small diameter. The Trimble SX12 innovates on
these requirements and makes aiming and marking far easier than with other total stations. The
Trimble SX12 laser pointer is also focusable, utilizing the same focusing lens as the telecamera.
The following white paper describes some of the key aspects of the Trimble SX12 laser pointer
system. We know it could sound complex and scary, which is why we want to share this information
so that you can become familiar and confident in the system.
The key points to remember are:
● 2mm positioning accuracy with the laser pointer
● 3mm diameter laser pointer spot up to 50m away
● A very visible and auto-focused, green laser pointer that is dependable and accurate
● For high-accuracy applications, use EDM Standard mode, or the "Mark Point" function in
