SOUTH NS30 Robotic Total Station

The SOUTH NS30 is a robotic total station designed for high-precision and one-person surveying. It combines 1″ angular accuracy with long-range EDM, automatic prism recognition and robotic target tracking for efficient field operation.

The NS30 measures up to 3500 m with a prism and up to 1000 m without a prism. Its prism search function can locate targets within 300 m, while Auto Prism Recognition can automatically recognize and aim at a prism at distances of up to 1200 m.

The instrument uses Hyper Drive motor technology and LocknTrack for continuous prism tracking. Android 11, Survey Star onboard software and Zigbee remote communication support a complete robotic workflow. For B2B buyers looking for a SOUTH robotic total station, RTKSurvey can provide product sourcing and related surveying equipment.

Why Choose the SOUTH NS30?

The NS30 is designed for survey teams that want to reduce the need for a second operator. Its combination of automatic prism search, prism recognition and LocknTrack allows the instrument to handle target acquisition and tracking while the surveyor works remotely.

The 1″ angular accuracy and 1 mm + 1 ppm prism distance accuracy also make the NS30 suitable for projects where measurement precision is important. Its Android operating system and Survey Star software provide a modern interface for field data collection, CAD stakeout and other surveying tasks.

The long-range Zigbee connection allows the NS30 to be operated remotely with a compatible controller, making it particularly useful for one-person construction and engineering surveys.
