Laser Measuring Devices

Laser measuring devices are portable measuring and alignment instruments that measure distance with a laser beam or project horizontal and vertical reference lines onto a surface. In jobs such as survey and quantity takeoff, aligning cable tray, panel, luminaire and socket runs, and suspended ceiling and tile installation, they let one person do, in less time, the work normally done with a tape measure, spirit level and chalk line. The subcategories include laser distance meters (laser meters) with ranges such as 50 m, 70 m, 100 m and 150 m, field-type laser range finders, laser alignment devices with red or green beams and automatic leveling, and digital angle meters with magnetic bases; the products are Unit brand. First determine whether the job is distance measurement, alignment or angle measurement; then choose the working distance, accuracy, beam color and supply type according to the environment of use. The laser class, wavelength and operating time are in the technical specifications table of the products; this category includes models whose laser class is given as Class 1 or Class 2.
