Prisms 360°

Why Is It Worth Investing in a 360° Prism? Traditional round reflectors require manual aiming toward the instrument. Omnidirectional (360-degree) prisms eliminate this necessity, making them the cornerstone of "One-Man Station" setups. Our offer includes models dedicated to the most popular measurement systems on the market.

Key Features of Our 360° Prisms:

• Tracking Continuity: Special geometry prevents the total station from losing "lock" during movement, which is critical for dynamic operations (e.g., machine control or rapid point collection).

• High Centering Precision: Despite their complex structure, our prisms maintain rigorous accuracy parameters (often within <2 mm), allowing for use in high-precision layout tasks.

• Reinforced Construction: We offer models with rubber bumpers at the top and bottom, protecting the delicate glass in the event of a pole tip-over.

• System Versatility: We carry prisms with plug-in systems (Leica standard) and 5/8" threads (Trimble/Topcon/Sokkia standard).

Field Applications: 360° prisms perform best where a surveyor works solo or in a two-person team with a high volume of points to measure. They are indispensable for:

• Road and Highway Layout: Where the operator needs to move quickly between points.

• Scanning and As-built Surveys: Requiring frequent changes of the prism position.

• Automated Monitoring: Where a single instrument tracks multiple prisms positioned at various angles.

Good to Know: When using a 360° prism, remember to set the correct constant (offset) in your instrument settings. The most common offsets for these types of reflectors are +23.1 mm (Leica system) and +2.0 mm or -11.3 mm (other systems).
