Why is the TS20 the best for everyday surveying?

Measure points faster and with fewer mistakes across conditions

The TS20 is the standard for productivity, delivering excellent performance in the two areas that impact productivity most - how fast you work, and how many mistakes you make.

You need to measure and stakeout many points per day, while ensuring that data has as few mistakes as possible to really save time and money.

We've taken care of speed with features like AI-powered target search, target recognition, and locking, supported by fast motors and advanced EDM, to make your work faster whether you measure to prisms or tapes. And with IP66-rating, the elements won't stop you either.

To reduce mistakes, AI-Detect enables prism type identification, ensuring you record measurements with the right prism type every time. And AI-Follow, available in 2026, allows the TS20 to follow the AP20 prism even if line of sight is interrupted.

Altogether, this means more points measured and fewer mistakes. Reducing rework and corrections establishes the TS20 as the ultimate benchmark for efficiency on any project, from cadastral work to construction tasks like railways, tunnel, bridges, buildings, or highways.

Excel today and be ready for tomorrow

The TS20 offers the power and efficiency to help you excel today and take on bigger projects tomorrow. Faster motors, long-range EDM, advanced optics, mobile and Ethernet connectivity - the list goes on. It all adds up to the future of robotic where productivity is unprecedented and quality is a given.

Built with innovative technology, the TS20 still maintains the familiar user experience you trust. The speedy processor makes Captivate fast to work with, and a multi-touch screen with zooming and panning delivers intuitive onboard operation. With integrated connectivity, you can easily adopt cloud-based data and sensor services now or when you're ready.

Additionally, as the only robotic total station with a neural processing unit (NPU), the TS20's AI automation will continue to evolve with software updates, adapting to challenging environments and weather conditions for reliable target detection and locking.

The TS20's combination of proven quality and accuracy with cutting-edge advancements means your investment returns both immediate success and long-term growth.
