TS20 FAQs

Be ready for every survey with the Leica TS20 robotic total station
1

What makes the Leica TS20 stand out from other robotic total stations?

The Leica TS20 total station is designed to be the ultimate productivity powerhouse for surveyors. It features advanced AI-powered automation, fast and maintenance-free motors, extended reflectorless range, and high accuracy. With IP66 rating, integrated theft deterrence and Instrument tracking, and seamless compatibility with Leica Captivate software, it’s built to handle any surveying challenge reliably and efficiently.

2

How does the TS20 improve productivity for surveyors?

As a future-ready robotic total station, the TS20 minimizes mistakes and streamlines workflows with advanced automation. This includes AI-Detect, which automatically checks that the prism type entered in the software matches the one you're measuring to, removing prism identification errors.

AI-powered ATR ensures measuring is efficient and work continues even in challenging conditions, like misty rain or partially covered prisms. AI-Follow, available in 2026, overcomes line of sight interruptions with the AP20 to search and relock for faster and more continuous work in one- person operations. The TS20 can also measure automatically to reflective tapes, saving time and money.

Connected to the AP20, eliminate height errors and measure with a tilted pole, easily reaching difficult points to speed up work. With AI-Follow, available in 2026, you can overcome line of sight interruptions with the AP20 to search and relock faster for more continuous work in one person operations. Additionally, the small size and weight means it's easy to take the TS20 and it's productivity potential to any site.

3

Is the TS20 compatible with existing Leica Geosystems accessories and software?

Yes, the TS20 is fully compatible with existing Leica field controllers, accessories, and software like Leica Captivate and Leica Infinity. This ensures a seamless transition for existing Leica Geosystems users while providing powerful new capabilities.

4

How does the TS20 total station handle challenging environmental conditions?

The TS20 is built to perform in tough environments with its IP66 certification, making it resistant to dust and water. It also features advanced automation to maintain performance in conditions like misty rain, ensuring consistent accuracy and reliability. Best of all, we continually train the TS20 on new environmental and weather situations, passing along these improvements to you in software updates so you benefit.

5

What theft protection features does the TS20 offer?

The TS20 includes integrated protective features with the GeoCloud Protect, a service offering remote locking, tamper detection, movement alerts so the total station can't be used anymore. With precise tracking capabilities, GeoCloud Protect enables users to locate their TS20 using advanced algorithms, view its location history, and take immediate action via a map-based interface. These features help secure your investment.

6

I have a TS16 total station. What’s different about the TS20?

The TS20 introduces several significant advancements that make it a leap forward in robotic total Station productivity and reliability. Fast, direct-drive motors follow even the quickest changes in movement and make it excellent for applications like rail, where you need to often measure in 2 faces. Enhanced EDM based on WFD technology provides fast and accurate distances along with an extended reflectorless range.

The AI-powered features are another distinguishing factor for this robotic total station: AI-enhanced Automatic Target Recognition (ATR), PowerSearch, and Dynamic lock make for fast searches and steady locks. Additionally, with completely new features like AI-detect and AI-follow (coming in 2026), productivity soars with faster work and fewer mistakes. Combined with its IP66 rating, the TS20 will work in the most challenging environments.

The TS20 integrates communication devices like long-range Bluetooth, WLAN, and mobile data. Instrument protection and tracking also get a boost with GeoCloud Protect – integrated protection that cannot be removed and allows instrument tracking and locking.
