PLANE TABLE SET AZA1044
The Plane Table Set AZA1044 from Azalab is a classic and highly effective field surveying and mapping instrument used for topographic surveys, site layout, and civil engineering planning. Known for its simplicity, accuracy, and real-time plotting capability, this set is widely adopted by surveyors, civil engineers, geologists, architects, and engineering students for both professional and academic fieldwork.
Plane table surveying allows measurements and observations to be plotted directly onto paper at the survey site, eliminating transcription errors and significantly reducing post-field processing time. Unlike electronic instruments, this manual method provides a visual and intuitive understanding of terrain, making it especially valuable for education, reconnaissance surveys, and remote-area mapping.
Description
Complete Field Survey Solution
The Azalab Plane Table Set AZA1044 is supplied as a complete portable mapping kit, including all essential accessories required for accurate field operation:
-
Smooth-finished wooden drawing board with sheet-holding clamps
-
Collapsible adjustable tripod stand for stability on uneven ground
-
Telescopic alidade with sighting vanes or telescope for precise ray plotting
-
Spirit level for accurate board leveling
-
Plumbing fork (U-fork) for centering over ground points
-
Fasteners, clamps, and protective storage accessories
The drawing board is manufactured from seasoned, warp-resistant polished wood, providing a flat, friction-free surface suitable for detailed drafting. Strong clamps ensure mapping sheets remain secure even under windy outdoor conditions.
Accuracy Through Direct Plotting
The alidade is the core working component of the plane table system. By sighting distant points and drawing rays directly on the map sheet, users can perform radiation, intersection, resection, and traversing methods efficiently. This approach allows natural features, boundaries, and structures to be recorded accurately in real time.
The adjustable tripod, combined with the spirit level and plumbing fork, ensures proper leveling and precise orientation of the board over survey stations. This stability is critical for maintaining angular accuracy during field operations.
Rugged, Portable & Power-Free
Designed for outdoor durability and ease of transport, the AZA1044 Plane Table Set is suitable for use in remote terrain, construction sites, and educational field camps. As a fully manual system, it requires no electricity or batteries, making it dependable in off-grid environments where electronic instruments may be impractical.
Despite advances in digital surveying technology, plane table surveying remains relevant due to its cost-effectiveness, reliability, and educational value. It plays a vital role in teaching survey fundamentals such as triangulation, coordinate plotting, and contour mapping.
