High-performing robotic total stations and advanced GNSS smart antennas



Leica Geosystems robotic total stations and GNSS smart antennas deliver exceptional accuracy and reliability for topographic surveys. Robotic total stations provide automated workflows, accurate angle and distance measurements, and powerful onboard tools for faster, more robust results. The versatile GNSS smart antennas range from ultra-lightweight to advanced models with tilt compensation and Visual Positioning, ensuring efficiency in the field. Seamlessly integrated with Leica Captivate and HxGN SmartNet correction services, the smart antennas provide flexible and reliable solutions for complete data collection.


Plan and prepare

Balance efficiency, time, and personnel with the Leica MS60 and Leica AP20 AutoPole smart system, or opt for the mid-range Leica TS13 for optimal performance and cost. Leave the bubble behind and choose the light Leica GS05 or select the Leica GS18 I with advanced imaging to capture detailed data from a distance. Before heading to the field, import control points, feature code lists, prepare a geo-referenced map, and set the coordinate systems.

3D laser scanning for large-scale, complex, and hazardous area projects



Leica Geosystems’ 3D laser scanners provide accurate and efficient solutions for surveying large-scale and complex projects. The scanners quickly capture high-resolution data, even in hazardous or hard-to-reach areas, reducing manual labour and improving safety. With fast data collection and effective processing capabilities, 3D laser scanners help streamline workflows and support project completion on time. Streamline the transition from field to office by importing, registering, and optimising data in Leica Infinity and Cyclone software, and covering point clouds into detailed topographic maps.


Plan and prepare

When your project requires large-scale data acquisition, safe-distance measurements, comprehensive and detailed data, and speed and efficiency in the field, equip your surveyors with the simple-to-use, accurate, and portable Leica RTC360 or the highest-performance Leica ScanStation P-Series for longer scanning distances. Next, prepare and import the control points into the field software.

Scan

Set up, configure, and scan from the instrument or remotely using a tablet or smartphone with Leica Cyclone FIELD 360 software. With direct data access and visualisation, the FIELD 360 allows for automatic pre-registration of point cloud data, enabling quick on-site quality control and better decision-making. Surveyors can add extra value by tagging measurements with information such as images and text and can easily export and upload scan data.

Reliable manual total stations with the lowest total cost of ownership



Manual total stations are a great option for topographic surveys where you need to find a balance between accuracy and practicality. Leica FlexLine series manual total stations are highly reliable, deliver accurate measurements, and come with intuitive onboard software – all while offering the lowest total cost of ownership. This makes them ideal for bridging client expectations, project needs, and resource optimisation.

Plan and prepare

Every project starts by selecting the right instruments. Equip your two-man crew with the right manual total station to meet your project requirements. Consider the TS03 for standard measurement tasks, the TS07 when higher accuracy is needed, or the TS10 for more complex projects. Next, prepare data for the field by importing survey control points and code lists for feature points into the field software and setting the right coordinate systems.
