PowerTracker and PowerBox

Leica Geosystems releases new Reflectorless PowerTracker and Dual PowerBox Solution for its RedLine Series

(Heerbrugg, 28 April 2009) Leica RedLine is Leica Geosystems’ complete and versatile solution for all construction positioning needs. This universal solution consists of a total station, a GNSS antenna and a receiver all using the same software interface. With the introduction of reflectorless capabilities on the Leica PowerTracker and the unique Dual PowerBox solution, the Leica RedLine is now equipped with new features to further increase productivity.

Leica PowerTracker – Now up to 250 meters without reflector
The Leica PowerTracker is a highly accurate robotic tracking sensor. From stakeout to machine control to as-built verification, the Leica PowerTracker is the ideal sensor for the construction site, increasing jobsite productivity while being as easy to handle as a rotating laser. To further increase the versatility of the Leica PowerTracker it is now possible to measure to any surface without the need for a reflector to a range of 250 meters making the PowerTracker the perfect tool for any construction site position task.




Leica PowerBox - easy and flexible site positioning in harshest environments
The PowerBox is designed for the toughest machine control applications, where high accurate and reliable GNSS positions are required on the machine. With the new “Dual PowerBox” feature, two PowerBoxes are connected together providing position and heading information in a cost effective package for all machine control systems.



Common and easy-to-use software for RedLine sensors
GeoPad is a versatile field software designed to meet all on-site measurement requirements using handheld Windows® enabled devices. GeoPad Construction key features include measuring on-site positions, staking out simple and complex designs, as-built verification of all construction works and setting-up GPS base stations and total stations for machine control.

With GeoConstruction it is possible to use a single software package to prepare design data for all existing machine control and measurement sensor fleets. It is easy-to-learn and compatible with any type of design model such as alignments, cross-sections, 3D stringlines or digital terrain models. The software also supports import and export to 3rd party products.


About Leica RedLine
Leica RedLine is a versatile construction site positioning range, providing products and solutions for the office, for base station set-up, data capturing and surveying as well as machine control and final as-built verification. Robust and modular design, accuracy and flexibility and – most important – all sensors can be used for various construction tasks.

Leica TM30 High Precision Sensor for Monitoring Applications

The new Leica TM30 Sensor is designed for high precision measurements and combines automatic, fast and silent operation to ensure that even the smallest movement in all monitoring applications is detected. The Leica TM30 integrates seamlessly with Leica GeoMoS software to create a proven monitoring system. The Leica TM30 combined with GeoMoS provides the highest performance and accuracy for monitoring applications in the market to achieve maximum productivity and efficiency.


With the new Leica TM30 Leica Geosystems continues its long tradition and experience of developing and producing high precision total stations. The Leica TM30 succeeds the highly acclaimed Leica TCA2003 and TCA1800 Total Stations and is designed specifically for use in monitoring applications. The Leica TM30 incorporates unmatched accuracy, outstanding reliability and robust design. Equipped with direct drives based on the latest Piezo technology, the Leica TM30 accelerates extremely fast, allowing shorter measurements cycles when working with multiple prisms. The extraordinary silent drives enable the TM30 to be installed in urban areas for monitoring applications with zero noise pollution.

0.5” angle accuracy – 0.6 mm distance accuracy
The Leica TM30 offers accurate angle measurements of 0.5” or 1” to meet highest standards in all monitoring applications. Distances can now be measured with Leica Geosystems’ proven PinPoint EDM Technology with an unprecedented precision of 0.6 mm + 1 ppm on prisms. On natural surfaces a high accuracy of 2 mm + 2 ppm is achieved.

Automatic prism detection up to 3,000 meters with millimeter accuracy
Leica SmartEye Vision technology integrates three new functionalities. First, prisms are automatically detected within a range of up to 3,000 meters with millimeter accuracy allowing highest flexibility of instrument placement. Second, the TargetView functionality narrows the field-of-view when using multiple prisms close together. The correct prisms are detected without interference from surrounding prisms. Finally, TargetCapture technology stores the telescope camera image as documentation of any measured point.

The Leica TM30 is designed to withstand the roughest use in the most severe environments for 24/7 operation. The TM30 operates for extremely long intervals without suffering from wear and tear. The long service interval, low maintenance costs and continuous operation ensure maximum productivity. The unique Piezo direct drive technology ensures maximum accuracy whilst minimizing power consumption with intelligent on-demand power management.
