Total Station: Quickly Realigns to Prism
Two new models of the iCON total station are able to provide Bluetooth connectivity for wireless operation at distances up to 400 meters. The iCR70 and iCR80 total stations feature Leica’s SpeedSearch technology, allowing them to quickly re-find the prism if the line of sight is lost. The iCR80 is designed for work on busy jobsites with many visual distractions and is able to maintain its lock despite multiple reflective surfaces in the environment. The total stations can sync to the Leica CC80 field tablet to integrate survey data into BIM documents. Leica Geosystems; www.leica-geosystems.com
