  • Measuring device comprising a targeting unit and a scanning module
    Patent number: 12631732
    Abstract: A measuring device comprising a targeting unit and a scanning module. The scanning module bas a field of view with a central line in the field of view. The measuring device has a pivoting axis around which an upper part of the measuring device can be pivoted or rotated. The central line deviates by at most 45 degree from orthogonality with respect to the pivoting axis.
    Type: Grant

    Date of Patent: May 19, 2026
    Assignee: LEICA GEOSYSTEMS AG
    Inventors: Tim Mayer, Benjamin Schöll, Jochen Scheja, Jürg Hinderling
  • SURVEYING SYSTEM AND METHOD WITH A SURVEYING DEVICE AND A MOVEABLE TARGET
    Publication number: 20250207915
    Abstract: A surveying system and methods with a surveying device, e.g., a total station, and a target, whereby the target can be tracked and surveyed by the surveying device. The target comprises at least one sensor for sensing a target motion and/or position. An uncertainty of a target position derived from the sensor data is determined and used for adaption of a target surveying and/or searching.

  • Surveying device having ball-point bearing
    Patent number: 10126124
    Abstract: In a surveying device having a base for positioning the surveying device and a pitch component having an optical beam path for surveying a target, the pitch component is radially and axially mounted and is rotatable in relation to the yaw component in a yaw component, which is movable in relation to the base, on the basis of a rotation body chucked in a self-centering manner in two cavities.
