Description
The AKS-170A is a portable, intrinsically safe instrument purpose-built for rapid azimuth and inclination measurement in mining and tunneling operations. It determines the true north angle of a stationary carrier with an accuracy of better than 0.8°, delivering reliable performance even in harsh underground conditions.
With its autonomous orientation capability, the AKS-170A does not rely on external references, making it highly effective for remote field work and hazardous environments. Its rugged, explosion-proof design ensures safe and dependable use in underground mines and other high-risk locations.
