What Is a Leveling Instrument?

The leveling instrument (ASW-21) sold by our company is a device that performs automatic, high-precision leveling. Surveying instruments such as transits and total stations can be mounted on top, helping to maintain a level position. It is also used to level laser markers and similar equipment. Since leveling is completed within seconds, it helps reduce labor time. Additionally, with its IPX4 water-resistant design and battery-powered operation, it can be used in harsh environments such as narrow tunnels and bridges where human access is limited.

Fundamentally, a leveling instrument is a device used to set surveying equipment in a level position. In particular, when used with surveying instruments, it is typically mounted on a tripod and refers to a device that maintains horizontal alignment using bubble levels or electronic leveling functions.

■ Functions of a Leveling Instrument
・ Leveling Survey Equipment
Ensures accurate horizontal placement of instruments like transits and total stations, which is essential for precise surveying.
・ Mounting Precision Instruments
Can be used as a base for devices that require strict horizontal alignment, such as analytical balances and other precision instruments.
・ General Leveling Tasks
1) Adjust the tripod legs to level the base
2) Operate leveling screws to center the bubble in the level tube
3) Rotate the upper plate and fine-tune using additional leveling screws as needed

※ Our leveling instrument automates these steps, reducing labor and improving precision.
