Leica TS20
The Leica TS20 is the new robotic total station from Leica Geosystems that marks a turning point in everyday surveying. With AI-powered automation, IP66 protection, cloud connectivity, and Leica Captivate software, it delivers accuracy, speed, and reliability in any environment.
Leica TS20: the new generation of robotic total stations
The Leica TS20 is the direct successor to the renowned TS16, designed to boost productivity and accuracy in all types of measurement and staking projects. Conceived as the reference robotic total station, it combines Leica Geosystems' reliability with innovative technologies that make each working day more efficient.
Thanks to its intelligent automation engine, the TS20 reduces setup time and minimizes field errors. Features such as AutoHeight, Dynamic Lock, PowerSearch, and integration with the Leica AP20 AutoPole ensure faster and safer data capture, even under complex conditions.
Integrated artificial intelligence automatically detects the type of prism and improves target tracking, providing a real advantage in demanding jobs.
The TS20 is designed to maximize what matters most in the field:
- Speed: fast, maintenance-free motors, automatic prism search, intelligent recognition, and AI-powered aiming.
- Accuracy: automatic prism type identification (AI-Detect) that reduces registration errors and ensures reliable results.
- Efficiency: more points measured per day with fewer errors, reducing the need for rework and corrections.
In 2026, AI-Follow will be added, enabling the station to follow the AP20 prism even if the line of sight is lost.
Built with an IP66 design, the Leica TS20 is ready to withstand dust, water, and extreme environmental conditions. Its BLDC direct drive motors provide fast and smooth rotation, while ATR technology with AI assistance keeps the target in sight even in low-visibility environments.
In addition, the Arctic version ensures reliable performance down to -35 °C, making it a versatile tool for projects anywhere in the world.
The first total station with artificial intelligence
The TS20 integrates an NPU processor that provides computing power in the field. Thanks to this AI, the instrument can:
- Automatically recognize prisms.
- Optimize search and target lock.
- Enhance efficiency even when measuring reflective tapes.
The result is a faster workflow with fewer interruptions.
Connectivity and digital workflows
The new generation of total stations not only measures with precision: it also connects seamlessly to the cloud. The Leica TS20 features integrated 4G LTE connectivity and compatibility with HxGN GeoCloud services, making real-time data transfer and secure remote project access possible.
With the GeoCloud Protect function, users can protect their equipment against theft through real-time tracking and remote locking, increasing investment security.
The TS20 comes standard with Leica Captivate v10 field software, offering an intuitive user experience with applications for measurement, staking, and data management in multiple formats. It also integrates with controllers such as the CS20 and CC200 tablets, and can work in advanced configurations with GS GNSS receivers or the SmartPole system.
A total station for all types of projects
The Leica TS20 is not just a cadastral tool: it is designed to cover everything from construction staking to large-scale infrastructure projects such as railways, tunnels, bridges, buildings, or roads.
With its robotic power, GeoCloud Protect security, and full integration with the Leica ecosystem, the TS20 sets the standard for productivity and paves the way for the future of robotic surveying.
With a next-generation hardware platform, continuous software updates, and full compatibility with Leica accessories, the TS20 is built to deliver long-term value. It is an instrument ready to meet the current and future challenges of surveying, construction, engineering, and metrology.
