Leica iCON iCS20 Motorised Construction Tool

Description

The Leica iCON iCS20 motorised construction tool is perfect for capturing 2D and 3D measurement data for interior finishing and projecting installation points. Easily aim at measurement points using the high-resolution camera or the laser point.

The Leica iCON iCS20 is an easy-to-use 3D measurement and layout sensor, serving a wide variety of professional applications.

It is particularly suitable for users who want to move from traditional, manual measurement and layout methods to digital workflows. The visual measurement technology always displays the current situation and prevents anything from being forgotten. Automated workflows, as well as the intuitive, industry-specific software Leica iCON trades, also reduce measurement complexity to a minimum.

Ready for Use in Just a Few Steps

Due to its compact size and wireless connectivity, you can carry the Leica iCON iCS20 onto site, set it up, and operate it on your own – without the need for a second person. Smart features such as the ‘quick-mount’ tripod or the ‘auto-setup’ process ensure that the device is ready to use in just a few steps and help to avoid mistakes.

Fast Layout and Aiming

The camera live stream delivers extremely sharp images. This allows you to see on the tablet what the Leica iCON iCS20 sees and to select any point accurately. Due to the unique high-speed motor, the construction sensor then locates that point very quickly with the bright pointing laser, shortening layout and measurement processes.

Line and Area Scans

This function simplifies capturing complex contours, such as door arches or rooms with uneven walls. Define the measurement range by a start and end point, as well as the measurement interval. The Leica iCON iCS20 automatically scans the measurement area and provides highly accurate results.

Leica vTarget – Easy Relocation

The visual-based target detection and the automated process greatly simplify the relocation of the device. New Leica vTargets are automatically detected. This saves you time, avoids errors and allows you to quickly continue your layout and measurement tasks even after a break. It also ensures best line of sight by always placing the device close to the working area.

What is the Leica iCON iCS20?

The Leica iCON iCS20 is a rugged, construction-optimized field controller designed for daily layout, stakeout, and verification on standard commercial, industrial, and civil projects. If your crews primarily perform point layout, anchor bolts, interior walls, utilities, and general QA/QC, the iCS20 delivers the accuracy, speed, and simplicity you need—without the added complexity or cost of advanced 3D visualization.

Where the iCS50 supports complex model-driven workflows, the iCS20 is the right tool for crews who need dependable layout performance across a wide variety of construction tasks.

The Standard for Everyday Digital Construction Layout

The iCS20 is a high-accuracy field controller built to withstand tough jobsite conditions and deliver fast, intuitive control when paired with:

• Leica robotic total stations
• Leica GNSS sensors
• Leica iCON Build software

It’s optimized for construction, not land surveying, and is ideal for teams focused on layout productivity, accuracy, and straightforward BIM-to-field workflows.

Who It’s Built For

The iCS20 is best for teams performing repetitive, high-volume layout tasks:

• Building and concrete layout crews
• Commercial/industrial contractors
• Mechanical & MEP layout teams
• Utility and underground contractors
• Modular/prefab set crews
• Surveyors supporting construction workflows
• BIM/VDC teams exporting standard model geometry to the field

If your workflows rely on 2D plans, simple models, linework, and point sets, the iCS20 is an excellent fit.

Top Benefits

1. Fast, Accurate Digital Layout

Ideal for:

• Foundations
• Anchor bolts
• Slab edges
• Wall layout
• Grading checks
• Interior layout

2. Construction-Optimized Simplicity

Crews get quick access to familiar tools like offsets, stakeout, alignments, and as-built capture—without heavy processing requirements.

3. Seamless Integration With Leica iCON

Plug-and-play connection to:

• iCR70 / iCR80 total stations
• iCG70 GNSS sensors
• iCON Build workflows
• DWG, DXF, IFC, CSV, and point files

4. Built for Harsh Environments

Rugged, IP-rated housing and hot-swappable batteries to support long days in tough conditions.

iCS20 vs iCS50: When the iCS20 Is the Right Choice

Choose iCS20 if you need:

• Standard construction layout (not high-complexity geometry)
• Fast point/line layout workflows
• Simple BIM-to-field integration
• Accurate stakeout without advanced verification tools
• A rugged, reliable controller for everyday tasks
• Lower cost of ownership for layout-focused crews

If you don’t need visual 3D measurement, dense model handling, or verification-grade accuracy, the iCS20 is the more practical choice.

Real-World Use Cases

• Foundation & anchor bolt layout
• Slab edges, formwork, and gridlines
• MEP hangers, sleeves, inserts
• Utility trenching & elevations
• Modular alignment and installation support
• General as-built capture & QA/QC
• Layout from 2D/3D models and point sets
