Designed for high-precision surveying projects, this cube corner prism is compatible with various total stations to achieve accurate measurements and is widely used in high-speed railway surveying and mapping, among other fields. When used in conjunction with a total station, it facilitates orientation and ranging.
The operational principle involves the total station emitting a laser beam, which reflects off a corner cube prism. By calculating the reflection time and using the speed of light, the distance from the total station to the corner cube prism is determined. Subsequently, the total station calculates the coordinates of the prism based on the rear view coordinates. This high-precision surveying tool is an essential part of optical glass components, ensuring reliable and accurate measurements in demanding applications.
The Corner Cube Company Yasi offers K9 corner cube prisms in three distinct grades to suit various application needs: Commercial Grade, Precision Grade and High Precision. Each grade provides different levels of accuracy and performance, ensuring you can find the perfect match for your specific requirements.
