SECO 6705-10 6 in Tilting Target for Surveying and 3D Scanning

Overview

The SECO 6705-10 Tilting Target is an adjustable black-and-white survey target designed for mounting on top of compatible poles with a 5/8-11 connection.

Its contrasting 6-inch target pattern provides a clear reference for total station measurements, monitoring, alignment, photogrammetry, and compatible 3D laser scanning workflows. The matte, non-glare surface helps maintain target visibility under bright jobsite lighting and outdoor conditions.

An adjustable tilting axis allows the target face to be aimed toward the instrument or scanner, while the anodized aluminum yoke and target plate provide durable support for repeated field use.

High-Contrast Black-and-White Target

The SECO 6705-10 features a contrasting black-and-white pattern measuring 6 inches, or 152 mm.

The high-contrast design creates a clear reference point for compatible surveying instruments, cameras, and scanners. This makes the target useful for applications where the operator needs to identify a fixed point from a distance or within captured field data.

3D Laser Scanning Applications

The tilting target can be used as a visible reference target in compatible terrestrial 3D laser scanning workflows.

Potential uses include:

• Establishing recognizable reference points within scan data
• Supporting scan-position alignment
• Helping identify control locations
• Relating scans to surveyed coordinates
• Providing reference points for monitoring projects
• Assisting with scan verification and quality control

Target recognition and registration procedures vary by scanner, software, distance, angle, and project requirements. Compatibility should be confirmed with the specific 3D scanner and processing software being used.

Adjustable Tilting Axis

The target plate rotates around an adjustable tilting axis, allowing the black-and-white face to be aimed toward the total station, scanner, or camera.

This adjustment is useful when the mounting pole cannot be positioned perpendicular to the instrument’s line of sight. Tilting the target toward the equipment improves visibility and helps present a clearer target face.

Matte Non-Glare Surface

The target uses a matte, non-glare surface to reduce reflections under sunlight and bright artificial lighting.

Reducing glare helps preserve the visibility of the contrasting pattern during surveying, imaging, and 3D scanning work.

Anodized Aluminum Construction

The yoke and target plate are manufactured from anodized aluminum.

This construction provides a balance of durability, manageable weight, and corrosion resistance for repeated use in surveying, construction, scanning, and monitoring environments.

135 mm Axis Height

The target has a specified axis height of 135 mm.

This known dimension can be accounted for when establishing the target center or incorporating the target into a measured control setup.

Standard 5/8-11 Threaded Base

A standard 5/8-11 threaded base allows the target to attach to compatible:

• Survey poles
• Prism poles
• Tripods
• Magnetic mounts
• Wall mounts
• Monitoring mounts
• Threaded adapters

Always confirm the mounting thread, stability, and target-height configuration before beginning measurements.

Ideal Applications

• 3D laser scanning
• Scan registration and control
• Total station surveying
• Construction layout
• Structural monitoring
• Deformation monitoring
• Photogrammetry
• Industrial measurement
• Building documentation
• As-built surveys
• Alignment work
• Engineering fieldwork
