Total Station Survey Instruments

Sokkia is a Japanese company that specializes in manufacturing surveying and measuring instruments. The company was founded in 1920 and initially focused on manufacturing telescopes for the Japanese military. In the 1950s, Sokkia began to produce surveying instruments and quickly became a major player in the industry. In 1984, the company introduced its first total station, the SET1, which revolutionized surveying by combining electronic distance measurement, angle measurement, and data processing capabilities into a single device. This allowed surveyors to work more efficiently and accurately than ever before. Since then, Sokkia has continued to innovate and expand its product line, with total stations ranging from basic models for small-scale projects to advanced models with advanced features and capabilities for complex projects.

Over the years, Sokkia has become a leading name in the surveying industry, known for its high-quality and reliable instruments. The company has won numerous awards for its products and has expanded its operations to over 100 countries worldwide. In 2015, Sokkia merged with Topcon, another leading surveying instrument manufacturer, to form Topcon Sokkia Corporation. The merger allowed the two companies to combine their strengths and resources to continue innovating and delivering advanced solutions to the surveying industry. Today, Sokkia's total stations are used by surveyors and engineers around the world for a wide range of applications, including construction, land surveying, and civil engineering.
