Leica Nova MS60 MultiStation: The scanning robotic total station

The ultimate all-rounder, a scanning, self-learning total station with GNSS connectivity and digital imaging

The Leica Nova MS60, the world’s first self-learning MultiStation, enables you to perform all surveying tasks with one instrument.

The MS60 is a scanning total station that empowers complete data collection of individual points and large areas by leveraging sensor fusion and automation. Seamlessly integrated into Leica field and office surveying software, you can quickly complete your work on-site and offer a range of high-value deliverables.


Highest-end total station

Highly accurate angle and distance measurements, robust design and easy-to-use apps. With improved automated functionalities, like Dynamic Lock and Autoheight, and the self-learning ARTplus features, the MS60 increases your efficiency, even in the most challenging conditions.

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
