Leica Nova MS60 – The World’s First Self-Learning MultiStation

The new experience in measuring technology

To meet the demands of our ever-changing and increasingly-quicker world, we developed the world’s first MultiStation, combining all available measurement technologies in one superior instrument. Now, we’ve made that instrument even smarter. The Leica Nova MS60 MultiStation is the world’s first self-learning MultiStation, automatically and continuously adapting to any environment, despite any challenges.

Scanning with the Leica Nova MS60 has been made simpler through the instant creation of point clouds with overlaid measured points and 3D models in one view. Visualisations are clearer and easier to see on an all-new 5” screen.

The unique capabilities of the Leica Nova MultiStation truly deliver the new experience in measuring technology.

Nova MS60 MultiStation also comes with:

Engaging software
The Nova MS60 MultiStation comes with the revolutionary Captivate software, turning complex data into the most realistic and workable 3D models. With easy-to-use apps and familiar touch technology, all forms of measured and design data can be viewed in all dimensions. Leica Captivate spans industries and applications with little more than a simple swipe, regardless of whether you work with GNSS, total stations or both.

Infinite possibilities
While Captivate captures and models data in the field, Leica Infinity processes the information back in the office. A smooth data transfer ensures the project stays on track. Captivate and Infinity work in conjunction to join previous survey data and edit projects faster and more efficiently.

Customer care at a click
Through Active Customer Care, a global network of experienced professionals is only a click away to expertly guide you through any problem:

  • Eliminate delays with superior technical service
  • Finish jobs faster with excellent consultancy support
  • Avoid costly site revisits with online service to send and receive data directly from the field.

Control your costs with a tailored Customer Care Package, giving you peace of mind you’re covered anywhere, anytime.

Customisable packages
A portfolio of intuitive software for any application gives you the freedom to choose how you want to work. Leica MultiWorx for AutoCAD, Leica Cyclone, Leica GeoMos, Leica Infinity, various Hexagon software packages and selected partner third-party software can be integrated into your workflow to create the customised solution for your specific need. Whatever you choose, you’ll enjoy an immersive experience that goes well beyond the data.

Dynamic Lock
The new Dynamic Lock functionality has greatly improved the lock-on capability of ATRplus in the Nova MS60 MultiStation. Get better performance with the larger search area for locking onto a moving target. The MultiStation can be used in standard surveying or high-dynamic machine control applications.

When to use the Leica Nova MS60

Traditional surveying and so much more. Learn ways our scanning total station enables measurement tasks and deliverables for a range of sites and structures.

  • Surfaces and volumes in construction and mining, soil heaps and stockpiles, DTM creation and checking surfaces, material thickness, blast faces and ground levels
  • Analysis of complex structures and objects within plant, marine and utility projects: dimensional control, as-built and record keeping
  • Measuring buildings and structures: bridge condition/clearance analysis, BIM and as-built
  • Facade, elevations and heritage work: creation of traditional deliverables like 2D maps or 3D models
  • Deformation monitoring of structures and ground: automated or periodic measurements of buildings, transportation infrastructure, natural hazards, dams and other objects

Integrated surveying, monitoring and CAD software

  • Leica Captivate - the MS60’s onboard software with easy-to-use apps that cover all your surveying tasks. Includes a range of tools to optimise scanning tasks, like the Inspect Surface app and more.
  • Leica Infinity - an intuitive surveying office software enabling seamless data transfer from the MS60 to the office to manage, process, analyse and quality check your field data.
  • Leica GeoMoS - the automated deformation monitoring software providing movement analysis, reports and notifications
  • Leica Cyclone - point cloud processing, management, collaboration and visualisation software.
  • Leica Cloudworx - CAD plugins that allow you to work efficiently with large point clouds directly in your chosen CAD system
