Leica TS16 P 1" R500 Total Station

The Leica TS16 P 1″ R500 Total Station is a precision robotic surveying instrument used to measure angles, distances, elevations, and three-dimensional coordinates. It helps surveyors and construction crews document existing conditions and position planned features on the ground. Typical applications include topographic surveys, construction layout, and engineering measurements.

The 1″ designation indicates one-arcsecond angular accuracy for horizontal and vertical measurements. By combining these angles with electronic distance measurements, the instrument calculates the position of surveyed points. Its standard prism distance-measurement accuracy is specified as 1 mm + 1.5 ppm, supporting work that requires precise positioning under suitable conditions.

The R500 designation identifies its reflectorless measurement option, with a specified range from 0.9 meters to beyond 500 meters under suitable conditions. This allows operators to measure surfaces without placing a survey prism directly on them, making it useful for observing building façades and other difficult-to-reach features. Actual range depends on surface reflectivity, lighting, and environmental conditions.

The P version includes PowerSearch, which helps the total station quickly locate a compatible prism. It also features ATRplus automatic target aiming and tracking, allowing the instrument to follow the prism as the operator moves. Paired with a compatible field controller and communication equipment, these functions support one-person robotic surveying and reduce repeated manual aiming.

The TS16 uses Leica Captivate field software and a color touchscreen to manage measurements and field tasks. Operators can collect survey points, check elevations, and stake out design coordinates for construction. Its combination of precise measurement, reflectorless capability, and automated prism searching makes it a versatile instrument for surveying and site-layout work.
