Builder R
The theodolite with electronic laser distance measurement
The era of purely mechanical or optical instruments is over.
This is the digital era where digital instruments are needed to remain competitive.
The digital Builder leads the way in this new era.
With the Leica Builder, Leica Geosystems is aiming experts in the building sector who have up to now shied away from using professional measuring instruments.
In the design priority of making the theodolite as easy-to-use as possible,
the advantages and the added value of the Leica Builder become evident:
its uniquely easy-to-operate control concept and the outstanding product performance accelerates common construction site jobs, e.g. layout or plumbing.
Built for Builders
The rugged Builder stands up to the elements and takes all kinds of weather.
And yet it's easily to transport in the carry case that holds most accessories in a single lightweight package.
Accelerates Building
Traditional layouts require many steps and manipulations. The Builder reduces these steps.
The Builder R gives an added advantage with fewer set-ups and laser-aided layouts.
Multilingual function
Does your crew speak different languages? The Leica Builder is the only instrument of its class with multiple languages onboard.
This allows the user to choose the preferred language - simply and with only one keystroke, for improved efficiency and convenience.
Advantages of the Builder R
- Even an inexperienced operator can implement a construction plan or perform a control measurement
- Electronic distance measurement up to 250m with a visible, red laser
- The clearly arranged built-in functions "Layout", "As-Built", "Tie Distance" and "Area" reduce work to a minimum.
Key Features of the Leica Builder R:
- The Leica Builder is the only theodolite offering a complete product family. It is easy for a user to switch between models without learning a new operation.
- Absolute circle reading
- Excellent hardware features, such as laser plummet, endless drives on both sides for Hz and V, brilliant optics with 30x magnification
- Dual-Axis compensation for reliable Hz and V reading
- New and intuitive software
- Unique leveling guidance for fast and convenient setup
- High resolution LCD display
- Audible notice for 90° turns and layout
- Electronic laser distance measurement
- Free set-up possible straight from blueprint
- Graphic sketches
- Hassle-free EDM measurement with red laser on any target or on the flat-prism
