Overview

The Leica TS13 Robotic Total Station is a professional, upgradeable robotic total station designed for survey crews, construction layout teams, and mapping professionals who need reliable Leica performance with the flexibility to grow over time. Built around Leica Captivate workflows, the TS13 supports efficient data collection, stakeout, as-built checks, BIM layout, and one-person robotic surveying.

What makes the TS13 especially valuable is its modular design. Crews can start with a capable Leica total station and add advanced functionality such as prism lock, robotic operation, SpeedSearch, long-range radio communication, and an optional second face keyboard as their workflow requires.

Built for Survey, Layout, and Mapping Workflows

The Leica TS13 is designed for accurate field measurements and efficient daily production. It supports Leica Captivate field software, giving crews a clean workflow for measuring, coding, staking, visualizing, importing, exporting, and managing field data.

Ideal for:

• Construction layout and staking
• Topographic surveys
• Mapping projects
• Design data layout
• As-built checks
• BIM field layout tasks
• Site control and verification
• One-person robotic workflows

The TS13 is a strong choice for crews that want Leica robotic capability without immediately jumping into the highest-end robotic platform.

Upgradeable Robotic Performance

The TS13 is built to grow with your projects. It can be configured for traditional two-person workflows and upgraded into a one-person robotic system when needed. With the included prism lock and robotic options, this package is configured for robotic productivity while still retaining the flexibility Leica users expect.

The RH18 radio handle enables communication with compatible Leica field controllers, allowing crews to operate the instrument remotely for layout and data collection.

ATR, Prism Lock, and SpeedSearch

The Leica TS13 includes ATR automatic target aiming for precise prism measurements. ATR helps the instrument aim accurately at supported prisms, improving measurement consistency and reducing manual aiming time.

With the TS13 prism lock option, the instrument can follow a moving prism during robotic work. The robotic option adds one-person operation capability, while SpeedSearch helps quickly find supported 360° prisms and return to productive measuring faster.

AutoHeight for Faster Setup

The TS13 includes AutoHeight, which automatically measures the instrument height during setup. This helps reduce manual entry mistakes and improves setup consistency when working over control points.

For crews setting up multiple times per day, AutoHeight is a practical feature that saves time and helps prevent common field errors.

Leica Captivate Field Software

The Leica TS13 is designed around Leica Captivate, Leica’s modern field software platform for surveying and construction workflows. Captivate helps crews manage points, coding, linework, stakeout, measurements, and project data in a visual and intuitive environment.

With the optional 5-inch keyboard display unit, Captivate can run directly on the TS13 instrument, providing a more complete onboard workflow.

TS13 vs TS20

The Leica TS13 and Leica TS20 are both professional robotic total stations, but they are built for different users.

The Leica TS13 is the more modular and upgradeable option. It is ideal for crews that want Leica Captivate, robotic capability, AutoHeight, ATR, prism lock, SpeedSearch, and RH18 radio communication while keeping a scalable platform that can grow with the business.

The Leica TS20 is the more advanced robotic platform. It includes more automation as standard, including brushless DC direct drives, AI-powered automatic target aiming, prism lock, autofocus, and a longer standard prism range. The TS20 is better suited for crews that need maximum robotic speed, automation, and performance right away.

Choose the TS13 if you want strong Leica robotic performance, Captivate workflows, and upgrade flexibility. Choose the TS20 if you need a higher-end robotic system with more automation built in from the start.

Reliable Leica Robotic Performance

The Leica TS13 Robotic Total Station is a strong choice for survey and construction crews who need accurate measurements, dependable robotic functionality, and a familiar Leica workflow. With AutoHeight, ATR, prism lock, robotic operation, SpeedSearch, RH18 radio handle support, and Leica Captivate compatibility, the TS13 delivers a flexible and professional solution for modern field work.
