Prisms

How to Choose the Right Prism for Your Surveying Needs?

Selecting the appropriate prism has a decisive impact on pointing error and measurement range. To simplify the process of matching accessories to specific tasks, we have divided our inventory into specialized subcategories:

Key Prism Types in Our Range:

• 360° Prisms: Indispensable for working with Robotic Total Stations. They allow for continuous target tracking without the need to manually orient the prism toward the instrument.

• Monitoring Prisms: Specialized mirrors (often in L-bar mounts) designed for permanent installation on buildings, bridges, or railway tracks to monitor structural displacement.

• Staking-out Mini Prisms: Ideal for the precise layout of details, curbs, or construction axes. Their compact size and low center of gravity minimize errors resulting from pole tilt.

• Prism Sets: Complete systems including a target plate, holder, and adapter, ready to be mounted on a tripod for establishing high-precision control networks.

High-quality optics are an investment that pays off by eliminating the need for re-measurements. If you are unsure whether a specific prism is compatible with your total station, contact us – we will help you select the correct prism constant (offset) and adapter.
