Product line · Interior finishing & layout
iCON iCS is Leica’s construction-tool line for interiors, digital templates and layout – not terrestrial laser scanners. Both units weigh 3.37 kg, run over 8 hours and live in iCON trades. What changes is motorisation, angular accuracy and the wireless vPen.
Current generation
The iCS20 is the motorised tool: camera and laser pointer aim, 5″ angular accuracy, 1.0 mm @ 10 m by laser. Robotic and vPen are options. It is enough when points and templates sit by visual aim and laser.
The iCS50 is automated: 3″ angular accuracy, native vPen (1.0 mm @ 10 m), target tracking, measuring on glass and glossy surfaces by touch. Anyone who often works alone, on reflective surfaces or with many station moves lands here.
Motorised construction tool for 2D/3D measuring and point projection: 5″ angular, laser 1.0 mm @ 10 m, auto setup, camera aiming. vPen and robotic as upgrades.
Best for: Interiors and prefabrication when laser and camera are enough.
View product →Automated construction tool: 3″ angular, native vPen 1.0 mm @ 10 m, target tracking, measure by touch even on glass. The same 3.37 kg platform as the iCS20.
Best for: Digital templates, glossy surfaces, one-person measuring with station moves.

Values from the Leica multi-brochure iCON iCS20 / iCS50, 993091_de 09.24. Catalog copy “sub-millimeter” for the iCS50 differs from the sheet – 1.0 mm @ 10 m laser and 3″ angular govern.
What changes
Both have 180°/s direct drive and auto setup. The iCS20 stays a motorised construction tool (robotic upgrade possible). The iCS50 ships automated: target search, lock and vPen with no extra option.
iCS20: 5″ (1.54 mgon), laser 1.0 mm @ 10 m / 2.5 mm @ 50 m. iCS50: 3″ (0.93 mgon), laser 1.0 mm @ 10 m / 2.0 mm @ 50 m, vPen 1.0 mm @ 10 m. On the iCS20 the vPen needs the robotic option and stays at 1.5 mm @ 10 m.
The wireless vPen measures where the laser glares or slips – glass, edges, bores. Scankraft adapters (bore, edge, bolt, marking) clip onto the same pen with no software change.
Workflow
The shared app: auto setup, station moves via vTarget, line and area scans, CAD on site, export DXF/PDF/CSV through to CNC.

Laser aiming is often enough. As soon as glass, edges and working alone matter, the iCS50 is the right tool. We’ll set that from trade and template path.
