This is the best planimeter for digitizing recorder paper graph charts, maps, drawings and photographs. The planimeter directly measures area and length for X-Y coordinates and imports them into the computer database software.

Measuring results of areas and lengths can be independently accumulated. The two large 8 digit 1/2" display panels can be assigned to show areas/lengths in different measuring units, counts, or X/Y coordinates.

The cursor is equipped with 12 dual function keys and a programmable handle switch that can be assigned to control any of the major functions. It has extremely low friction and momentum for minimum operator fatigue.

A separate keypad (standard) is used to enter scale ratios, define coordinates, establish the X-axis etc. It also serves as a remote data entry keypad for the host computer.

The RS232 interface works via the serial port of virtually all computers and can emulate most popular tablets for work with CAD Software (AutoCad, etc.). Also supplied is a resident DOS Driver which transmits data from the digitizer to many commercial programs including Lotus 1-2-3.

Sokkia™ Tamaya Digital Planimeters

Digital Planimeters are precise instruments for fast, accurate determination of areas from blueprints, maps, photos, etc. Following the outline of the area with the tracer, the revolution of the measuring wheel in either direction is sensed by the electro-shaft encoder, and the corresponding data is digitally displayed.

Planix 5 and Planix 6

Planix 5 Planix 6

Readings in square inches or square centimeters. Planix, 5, the Polar Compensation Type and Planix 6, the Linear (Roller) Type, feature zero-setting, metric or English convertible scale and accumulative measurement function, 8 digit LCD readout. Compact, cordless operation for 30 hours - with rechargeable NiCd battery (15 hour charging time) and power saving automatic power turnoff after left unused for 3 minutes. Averages multiple measurements and has display hold button to prevent inadvertent loss of measurements. The polar arm length of the Planix 5 is 8.88".

Each Planix is supplied with battery, AC adapter, battery charger and a hard molded carrying case with foam inserts.

310-035 Planix 5 52.5 lbs.

310-036 Planix 6 62 lbs.

310-037 Replacement Battery 0.3 lb.

 

Planix 7 and Planix 8

Planix 7 Planix 8

User entered map scale factors to obtain direct readings in any desired unit. The Planix 7, linear-roller type and Planix 8, polar compensation type, feature the same functions as the Planix 5 and Planix 6 with several additional features.

Both models display the measured area direction in terms of cm, m, km, in., to ft. or acres depending on selection, with both the X and Y scales entered by the user. The display will automatically shift to the next largest unit if the selected unit has overflowed its capacity, i.e. from in. to ft.. Back up memory for scale factors are stored when power switch is turned off. The polar arm length of the Planix 8 is 9".

Each Planix is supplied with NiCd battery, AC adapter, batter charger and a hard molded carrying case with foam inserts.

310-040 Planix 7 71.5 lbs.

310-041 Planix 8 81.5 lbs.

 

Super Planix β

The Super Planix β can simultaneously obtain area, line lengths, side lengths and coordinates with a single tracing. Area and line lengths of complex diagrams are found by point mode measurement by plotting points on straight lines or stream mode for tracing curves on curved lines.

Special features make the Super Planix β easier to use than other planimeters. The point coordinate/stream tracing button is located on the tracer lens and the entire tracing arm rotates in either direction for operation by right and left handed users. Obtain averages and total several measurements with only three keys and also features on-board memory and measurement recall buttons. The following units are standard: mm, cm, m, km, hectares, in., ft., sq . ft., yd., miles and acres. Other units can be entered using the calculator function. Designed with an RS-232 interface for connection with a computer. An optional thermal printer is available for a permanent record of important computations. RS-232 interface cable sold separately.

310-045 Super Planix β 2.5 lbs.

310-047 Optional Thermal Printer 1 lb.

310-048 RS-232 Interface Cable 2 lbs.
