The DE2A-AC is a high-precision autocollimating electronic theodolite developed for industrial alignment and angular calibration applications. It combines a 2″ absolute-encoder angle measurement system with an integrated autocollimation function, allowing precise observation and adjustment of angular relationships between mechanical axes, fixtures and reference surfaces. The instrument also features single-axis compensation and a 30× erect-image telescope, providing clear target observation and stable angular measurement for workshop, assembly and calibration tasks.
Product Family: The DADI DE2A-AC is the autocollimation configuration within the DADI DE2A electronic theodolite series. It combines a 2″ absolute-encoder angle-measurement system with an integrated autocollimation function for industrial axis alignment, angular calibration, equipment installation and laboratory measurement.
The DADI DE2A-AC is the autocollimating electronic theodolite configuration within DADI's DE2A series. It is developed for industrial axis alignment, angular calibration and precision angular measurement applications where autocollimation is required in addition to conventional electronic angle measurement.
The instrument combines a 2″ absolute-encoder angle-measurement system with an integrated autocollimation function for observing and adjusting angular relationships between mechanical axes, fixtures and reference surfaces. The autocollimation system operates from 0.5 m to 20 m with 0.5″ resolution.

The DE2A series is DADI's electronic theodolite product family and includes standard electronic, red-laser, green-laser, long-range green-laser and autocollimation configurations. Within this family, the DE2A-AC is the autocollimation configuration for specialized alignment and angular calibration applications.
