Due to the plastic measurement sphere with integrated prism, you gain a maximum of flexibility. Due to the combination of an extra precisely machined reference sphere and a prism mirror in the sphere's center, laser scan data and tacheometric measurements can be linked quickly and straightforwardly. Since the sphere has the same diameter as our approved reference spheres, you can integrate the sphere into your laser scanning projects without any problems.
Product characteristics
- diameter of the sphere: 145mm (5.71 in)
- weight: 0.55kg
- A precisely integrated prism is located in the center of the sphere.
- prism constant: -34.4mm (-1.35 in) / Leica: 0mm (0 in)
- The spherical shape allows an optimum detection from all sides during scanning.
- The reference sphere has a special varnish for optimum reflectivity.
- Contains a M8 female thread with a magnet screwed-in
Field of application
- architecture, preservation of buildings and monuments
- design and planning of factory buildings and digital factory
- mining industry and tunnel construction
- public service corporations
- aircraft construction and naval architecture
- foundries and steel industry
- chemistry and process industry
Designated use
- linkage of laser scan data and tacheometric data
- Simultaneous scanning and measuring of the sphere's center is possible.
- The prism sphere can be used as a prism for tacheometric measurements and as a reference sphere for laser scanning.
- Usage together with reference spheres with 145mm diameter possible (Basic, Flexi, UltraX, Traveler) (full integration resulting from same diameter and same connection)
- positioning on noted fixed points by means of a tripod or a prism pole and a fitting adapter

Please note
- Due to the low magnetic field strength of the magnets, they are not classified as dangerous goods in air freight if properly packaged.
Safety instructions
- Wearers of pacemakers should be particularly careful when handling magnets or magnetic systems. A minimum distance of 20cm from the magnet must be maintained, otherwise temporary malfunctions of the pacemaker may occur.
- The use of magnets or magnet systems in explosion-proof rooms is critical. If the magnets are dropped, they may shatter and cause sparks.
- Do not store or bring into the proximity of magnetic storage media.
- Magnets can attract iron parts. Improper handling can result in crushing.
- Properly dispose of in accordance with Directives 91/689/EEC and 94/62EU, as well as local, regional and national regulations.
- If the nickel layer comes into contact with the skin, hypersensitivity may result in allergic reactions. (Depending on type)
