Advanced surveying and engineering total station
The XS5 is a high‑precision, multi‑purpose total station designed for surveying, construction, infrastructure, and engineering projects where accuracy and reliability are critical. It combines advanced EDM technology, automatic dual‑axis tilt compensation, and a rugged field‑ready design to deliver dependable performance in challenging environments.
- Independent dual‑axis tilt compensation
- Ultra‑fine laser beam with strong signal return
- Reflectorless and prism measurement capability
- Sunlight‑readable colour display
- Dedicated alphanumeric keypad
- Endless 360° rotation in both directions
- Flexible instrument height configuration
- Rugged IP55‑class field protection
Automatic Tilt Compensation
The XS5 continuously monitors instrument tilt on two axes and automatically compensates for residual leveling errors. Survey crews can begin work faster, maintain accuracy on uneven terrain, and avoid costly re‑measurement caused by ground settlement or imperfect setup.
High‑Strength Laser Measurement
A specially collimated laser produces a narrow beam with minimal divergence, resulting in stronger reflected signals and more reliable measurements. The XS5 performs confidently on difficult reflectorless targets and in conditions such as dust, haze, or light vegetation where weaker systems may struggle.
Intuitive Colour Interface
The large colour display and dedicated alphanumeric keypad simplify data entry, coding, and job navigation. Graphical workflows reduce training time for new operators and help minimize input errors, improving both field productivity and office data quality.
Continuous 360° Rotation
The endless rotation design eliminates cable twisting and mechanical stop points. Operators can quickly move between targets, complete monitoring sequences smoothly, and work more efficiently in congested construction or infrastructure environments.
Flexible Field Deployment
Compatible with standard tribrachs and tripods, the XS5 supports a wide range of instrument heights and mounting configurations. One platform can be deployed across roadwork, tunneling, structural monitoring, and topographic surveying projects.
All‑Weather Reliability
Designed for demanding outdoor use, the XS5 resists dust, rain, and temperature extremes. Its rugged housing and durable optics help maintain accuracy and uptime across long‑term infrastructure and industrial projects.
