B1 / B1C

Highlights

• Precise leveling
• Rapid, easy set-up
• Reliable automatic compensator
• Precise collimation

This model represent state-of-the-art in leveling technology, and comes in a compact, sturdy, and easier-to-use package. Extremely precise leveling has never been simpler.

Accuracy over 1km double-run leveling is a remarkable 0.8mm, and it can be improved to 0.5mm using the optional parallel plate micrometer. Horizontal line of sight stability is assured by four suspension wires and a magnetic-damping compensator. Operation is convenient, thanks to features such as the two-speed focusing knob, distance-giving stadia lines, and even the choice of horizontal circles (on the B1C). in short, this model offers the best of Sokkia's famous technology in one neat, rugged body.

Accurate leveling

The level's reticle can be fitted with the optional parallel plate micrometer for precise measurement in increments of 0.1mm (estimation 0.01mm). The accuracy obtained over 1km double-run leveling is boosted from 0.8mm to a remarkable 0.5mm with the parallel plate micrometer.

Rapid, easy set-up

Using a spherical-head tripod, setting up the level is fast and easy even on angled, uneven surfaces. Set the level onto the tripod head, centre the circular bubble, and away you go. It also fits flat-head tripods.

Reliable automatic compensator

Four suspension wires and magnetic damping action ensure stability, even under rapidly changing atmospheric condition, vibration, and shock. Precise damping even comes with "hangups" in the compensator

Precise collimation

this model incorporates an endless horizontal motion drive with two knobs for fast and easy aiming, operable by right or left hand. Simply turn the instrument, then use the fine motion to aim the level at the target precisely. A two-speed focusing knob switches between coarse, and fine focusing for even faster operation. The optics are designed to be bright and easy to use.
