The SOKKIA B Series introduces a new standard for optical levels used in surveying, engineering and construction applications.”
The SOKKIA B series levels can focus objects 20 cm in front of the telescope, whereas previous models provided 50 cm or 1 m minimum focal length. “This significantly improves performance in confined spaces,” says Stilgoe – Director of Geo Positioning for Sokkia B.V.
The new SOKKIA B series compensator has 4 strands made of extremely tensile-resistant metal, providing a minimum thermal coefficient of stretch, “The strength and accuracy are unsurpassed even in harsh operating conditions,” says Stilgoe. “The finely tuned magnetic damping system levels and stabilizes the string cross very quickly, despite the small vibrations present when working near heavy machinery or busy streets and highways.”
With protection class IPX6, the instrument is absolutely waterproof. The advanced design not only protects the instrument from water ingress, but also prevents condensation and fogging of the optics in the telescope.
Three models are available:
– SOKKIA B20: magnification 32x (optional – 40x ), accuracy 0.7mm/km (0.5mm with additional micrometer screw)
– SOKKIA B30: 28x, accuracy 1.5mm/km
– SOKKIA B40: 24x, accuracy 2.0mm/km
