Product Information

Professional-Grade Robotic Total Station for Precision Surveying

The South NS30 Robotic Total Station delivers the precision and automation professional surveyors demand. Engineered for complex construction projects and detailed topographic mapping, it combines 1" accuracy with intelligent prism tracking for consistent results across challenging sites.


Advanced LocknTrack Technology

LocknTrack technology maintains consistent prism recognition up to 1200m, automatically compensating for environmental interference and target movement. This intelligent tracking system reduces measurement interruptions and maintains productivity even in windy conditions or around active construction equipment.

Extended Range Capabilities

With a 3500m EDM range using prisms and 1000m reflectorless capability, the NS30 handles everything from detailed building surveys to large infrastructure projects. The extended range eliminates the need for multiple setups, saving valuable time on expansive sites while maintaining measurement precision.
