Leica Geosystems announces new
most accurate total station
• Leica Nova TS60 now locks onto moving
prisms and sets total station height at a
button press
(hexagon) Leica Geosystems, part of Hexagon,
announced the new Leica Nova TS60,
the world’s most accurate total station,
with newly integrated DynamicLock and
AutoHeight features.
Leica Nova TS60 minimises costs and
downtime with sub-second and sub-millimetre
accuracy, newly integrated DynamicLock
and AutoHeight features.
The new version of theTS60 total station
is now equipped with DynamicLock, allowing
the instrument to lock onto a moving
prism, and devised with AutoHeight, enabling
users to get the instrument’s height
with a simple button press. With these new
integrated capabilities and sub-second and
sub-millimetre accuracy, the TS60 is the
most accurate total station for minimising
risks of downtime and unexpected costs
and delays.
“We use the TS60 primarily when measuring
large surveying networks for monitoring
dams. Usually, we measure 20 to 35
points from a station, by conducting at
least three sets of measurements in two
phases; therefore, we observe each point a
minimum of six times. With the new TS60
we achieve highly accurate results and save
a lot of time as it is much quicker in navigating
to the points than with previously-used
instruments,” said Thorsten Zimmer,
senior surveyor at Axpo Power AG.
“Another good feature of the TS60 is that
one can take a picture of the surrounding
area with the instrument, including the
previously observed points on that picture
as an icon. We find this to be a good method
of documenting newly observed points.”
The world’s most accurate total station
The TS60 is the only total station in the
market that enables users to work with an
angular accuracy of 0.5” and a distance accuracy
of 0.6mm + 1ppm. Designed and
manufactured to the highest levels of quality,
this high-end total station is the best fit
for most demanding projects due to its reliability
even in the harshest conditions.
TS60 users can easily manage, process,
analyse and quality check data with the intuitive
Leica Captivate onboard software
and processes the information back in the
office with Leica Infinity survey software.
The easy-to-use touch technology and user-friendly
apps in the TS60 enable users to
perform a variety of surveying tasks.

Mit der Nutzung der Windkraft – sowohl
onshore als auch offshore – sind, wie bei
allen Techniken, Fragen zu Arbeits-, Gesundheits-
und Umweltschutz zu berücksichtigen
und zu beantworten.
Dazu bedarf es z.B. der Mitwirkung von
Fachleuten aus der Forschung, der Produktion,
Politik, Umweltverbänden, unterschiedlichen
Behörden und der Unfallversicherungsträger,
um im Konsens Lösungen zu erarbeiten und
diese zu realisieren.
