Description
The Leica AP20 AutoPole is a unique and productivity-boosting smart solution for our robotic total stations, removing the last analogue steps in your digital survey workflow.
The easy-to-use AP20 AutoPole saves time spent on-site and reduces cumbersome post-processing corrections in the office with three powerful smart features that will transform the way you work:
- Tilt Compensation
- PoleHeight
- TargetID
The AP20 helps users work more efficiently, trust the data they gather and increase productivity overall.
Tilt Compensation

Increase productivity and efficiency with Tilt Compensation, which removes the need to level the pole.
Measure and layout more points per day, conveniently and comfortably, while maintaining high job standards with control and clarity over the point quality.
The Tilt Compensation feature allows point measurements with an arbitrary aligned pole, and therefore increases flexibility and productivity in the field to enable even upside-down and nearby hidden point measurements.
PoleHeight

Save time and eliminate mistakes from both manual height reading and manual input into the field software, which are often wrong or even totally missed. PoleHeight functionality will update the height for you automatically as the pole height changes to ensure reliable and accurate measurements. This removes the need to read, check and enter height changes, and eliminates time consuming post-processing effort to fix incorrectly entered or forgotten target heights. Less time spent for adjustment, more time to work!
Target ID

Be unstoppable using the Leica AP20 AutoPole with the TargetID feature! Automatic target search, identification and lock on your target prevents locking to foreign targets and avoids work interruptions that can occur on a busy site. TargetID enables the total station or MultiStation to identify your target on the fly during search. This prevents locking onto other targets, especially important when there are several surveyors working simultaneously at busy locations, increasing your operative time on the pole.
