Leica Geosystems’ new construction total station, the Leica iCON iCR70, facilitates the move from traditional analogue measurement methods to modern digital layout techniques, which are a necessity within modern BIM processes and achieve the high productivity and accuracies demanded by the building construction industry. iCR70 can be used by the existing construction workforce with minimal training and do not disrupt existing construction processes.

The iCON iCR70 allows users to:

• Layout lines for footings or chalk line for formwork on foundation
• Layout points on blinding layer such as pipe insert or cut-outs before pouring concrete
• MEP layout of hanger locations for HVAC and duct work, inserts and slits for sheet metal work
• Fully automatic layout routines of points on floor or ceiling and lines for pipe wall penetrations

Prepare and execute construction tasks faster, simpler and more accurately. This robot, tailored to your construction needs, is designed for one-person operation, giving you approximately an eighty per cent increase of productivity over other conventional layout practices. The iCON iCR70 is your best partner for construction layout, helping you to simplify your work on site, be on time and under budget. With a bullet-proof set up routine, you can be confident that you have the right set up. It guarantees layout efficiency with flexible handling of fully rendered 3D design models in the field. It is designed to accelerate construction and installation processes with ease of use within the construction industry, helping you achieve more layout points all day, every day.

The iCON iCR70 total station is fully compatible with:

• Leica iCON CC80 tablet with an enhanced version of the tailored iCON build construction field software
• Leica Infinity office software and Leica ConX for online sharing of data between the office and the site.

The iCON iCR70 features:

• 4 buttons keyboard for simple operation
• Fast prism search by patented technology SpeedSearch
• Stable data communication with long-range Bluetooth® (up to 400m)
• Aligned to modern BIM processes, fully-rendered 3D design models can be easily shared via ConX from the design office to the field crews.

Go digital
Swap the traditional measuring methods for new modern technology that is easy to use. The iCON iCR70 allows you to move from traditional analogue layout methods, such as tapes, plumb bobs and strings to modern digital layout methods. Using the new construction total station from Leica Geosystems you can now turn complex designs into reality with ease.

Autonomy
Rich intelligent design data can be handed over from the office to the field crews as fully rendered 3D models. The Layout Objects app allows you to lay out straight from 3D Models by selecting an object, like a column or pipe, simply by tapping on it in the controller. This gives field crews full flexibility selecting their work packages by objects with simple yet powerful filter mechanisms making this ideal for MEP/HVAC construction layout.

Automated set up
The Setup Pilot app allows you to remain confident with the most reliable, simple and automated setup routine which requires no user interaction. With it a successful setup completion is visually communicated, indicating layout can immediately begin at the push of a button.

Lowest total cost of ownership
All Leica Geosystems total-stations are designed for reliability and longevity and are maintained by an extensive and skilled service network – all helping to maintain a high residual value of the original investment. iCR70 helps you produce more profitable projects, by saving time, reducing operational costs and eliminating errors.
