Leica TDRA6000 Laser Station

Leica Geosystems introduced the world to Industrial Total Stations in 1983 with the legendary TC2002. In 1995 we introduced the TPS5000 series as the world’s first fully automated tracking Industrial Total Station. For decades, Leica Geosystems has supplied thousands of Industrial Theodolites and Total Stations worldwide – many in the toughest industrial environments imaginable,
indoors and outdoors. Their ease of use and one-man operation capability make them the obvious choice for a large variety of metrology tasks in aerospace and shipbuilding as well as general precision applications. We have spent the last 25 years perfecting the Total Station for use in industrial environments, and the latest Leica Geosystems Laser Station incorporates everything that we have learned along the way.

A new high speed absolute angle encoder paired with our 4th generation Automatic Target Recognition (ATR) technology give the Leica TDRA6000 Laser Station the best tracking performance in its class. This new quadruple angle detection system is accurate to 0.5 Arc Seconds (1σ). The ATR and encoder feedback loop has been optimized for use with 1.5” corner cube reflectors and is specially tuned for use in a 600m volume.

The PinPoint Reflectorless Distance Meter allows non-contact measurements within the full 600 m volume, and has a very small visible beam that allows precision measurements on difficult surfaces. This new EDM is based on our proven System Analyzer technology that takes advantage of both phase and time-of-flight information. The System Analyzer accuracy is further enhanced (specifically on corner cube reflectors) by passing the laser beam through a new anamorphic lens. This lens reshapes the beam with an optimized profile and footprint allowing the inhomogeneous peripheral light to be cut off from the laser beam completely.
