Choose the Right EDM for Your Work

Both Nikon XF and Nikon XF-HP total stations measure prisms and non-prism targets at various ranges, with each EDM technology optimized for specific use cases:

Nikon XF – Time of Flight EDM Strengths

• Long-range measurement capability

• Very fast performance, ideal for interrupted line-of-sight conditions

• Nikon-powered autofocus for quick, precise targeting

Nikon XF-HP – Phase Shift EDM Strengths

• Easy non-prism edge and corner measurements

• High-precision performance

• Extended battery life for longer field sessions

Built for the Field, Connected to the Office

Nikon XF total stations are built tough for demanding environments and trusted by surveyors worldwide. With Bluetooth connectivity and the Total Station File Transfer app, data moves seamlessly from the field to the office—often before you do—reducing rework and improving efficiency.

Economical, reliable, and feature-rich, the Nikon XF Series combines rugged durability, advanced measurement technology, and Nikon’s renowned optical quality, making it the right choice for surveying, construction layout, and infrastructure projects of all sizes.

Angular Accuracy Options – Nikon XF Series

The Nikon XF Series is available in multiple angular accuracy configurations, allowing you to choose the right level of precision for your specific application.

Note: Accuracy availability may vary by specific Nikon XF or XF-HP model. Please refer to individual model specifications or contact our technical team for assistance selecting the correct configuration.

How to Choose the Right Accuracy

Choose a higher accuracy (1″–2″) for precise surveying, control work, and projects where tight tolerances are critical. A mid-range accuracy (3″) is ideal for most construction layout and site work. Lower accuracy options (5″) are well suited for general layout, basic positioning, and cost-effective applications where extreme precision is not required.
