Kern Theodolite DKM2-AE

The Kern DKM2-AE is a robust, Swiss-made optical theodolite renowned for its high-precision angular measurements in civil engineering, surveying, and specialized meteorological tasks. It features a compact design, a coincidence micrometer for direct single-second readings, and durable glass circles designed to withstand harsh outdoor conditions.

Key Specifications & Features

Precision: Direct reading to single seconds (1") with high semi-digital coincidence micrometer accuracy.

Weight & Portability: Extremely compact and lightweight, typically weighing around 6.2 kg making it highly transportable for field surveys.

Build: Uses Kern’s signature tangential foot screws for leveling, which perfectly maintains the constant height of the instrument's Y-axis.

Versatility: Historically utilized in high-precision geodetic networks and even adapted for specialized layout applications alongside CAD and laser systems.
