To business disputes: a tale of lasers

Why private owners and professionals need high-precision measurement technology

Box, institutions under the roof, in fact - only the skeleton of the future house, and in a comfortable and presentable housing it will become in the course of in-house work. And this step requires much more money, and often forces and time, especially if construction is conducted independently. On the pace of work is greatly influenced by technical base - a good tool does not have to spend extra time to prepare and to compromise between speed and quality. With the participation of specialists of the company BOSCH, consider why and professionals, and private traders are choosing the high-tech measuring equipment - lasers.

Why do I need a laser level

The basis of most of the operations that the laying of communications that for roughing and finishing of the interior is the exact layout. Relatively recently, a laser measuring tool used not all professionals, and even from private owners can be found only in bubble level, and usually skip, maximum - gidrouroven. Although these simple devices is quite functional, their use is far from the comforts and all tricks for finding and fixing the desired angles, lines, planes and eliminate wasted a lot of time, effort and nerves.

Even a small-scale repairs in the apartment itself antiquated way outdated, to say nothing of finishing works in the constructed building or major repairs.

Time - one of the most expensive resource, it is inappropriate to spend it on "dancing with a tambourine," when it is possible to use lasers and a few minutes to prepare for the installation of the window or door unit, alignment walls, pouring covering, tile or brickwork mounting frame partitions. It is important that the laser beam will not be erased and will not stray and will help control the accuracy of the work to the end without any additional manipulation.

What is a laser level

Laser level - optical, electromechanical tool for projecting surface points, lines and planes, precise horizontal, vertical, or inclined a predetermined orientation. Designed for a wide variety of building external and internal works on measuring and marking surfaces to an accuracy of a fraction of a millimeter. Its use greatly simplifies marking all activities and reduces the elapsed time on them (60%). Household and professional lasers are divided into four categories.

• Point - only display points in different planes (2 to 5).
• Linear - projecting beams in line, form cross-hairs and the plane.
• Combined - the projection of points and lines.
• Rotary - have a large working range due to a non-linear operation principle.

For interior linear lasers are used or combined, with the projection rays and dots - an optimal combination of functionality and cost.

Simple leveling point for all operations will be insufficient, and the rotation is excessive.

usingcombined lasers, Projecting lines and points, you can perform the full range of standard finishing works. The combination of accuracy and practicality of laser lines plumb points gives universality - one device for horizontal alignment and check the installation of window and door frames or the flatness of the walls, and the transfer points from the floor to ceiling. A self-leveling function in these construction lasers greatly simplifies the work with the tool, providing accurate results.

Advantages of lasers with a green beam

The radiation source used in lasers powerful laser diode, it was originally only red color with radiation in the range 635-670 nm. And for a long time there was no alternative, but a few years ago went on sale levellers with a green beam. Their main difference is the greater efficiency - under equal conditions, the green beam can be seen better, which allows to operate freely in bright sunlight. Given that it is the summer season accounts for the majority of construction projects, a good visibility of the beam in the sunlit room - need. But there are enough significant nuance - the energy efficiency of the tool.

That's how it always is, that all nice theory, but in practice, how?

For eight years, working closely with lasers, I have not met a single energy-efficient linear leveling with a green beam. When comparing two similar crosses, one green and the other red, power consumption and price differed by 2-3 times, and as you may guess is not in favor of the green. At the same time on the street, even the green laser was still need a receiver. So I doubt that the game is worth the candle.

Indeed, such a problem exists, but only in the case where the green light is simulated and is not generated by a green LED.

It is confirmed that all things being equal green is better perceived by the human eye. This is not the kind of feature is level with green beam, it is a feature of the structure of our eyes and the waves, which we catch. We offer a choice to their customers between red and green beam depending on the tasks they are facing, and the conditions in which they work.

I note some companies engage in the old technology, selling it for real green LED, which the user may have become a member of the portal. Old products with a green beam using color conversion technology, generating a green laser beam of red laser light diode. In simple terms, this beam leveling turns green only through the colored glass in green color.

We recommend purchasing products with this green laser diode, which increases efficiency, improves reliability and provides better visibility of the laser line. This technology is definitely more expensive, but more effective in all respects.

And it is not only the opinion of experts.

Out of level with a green beam of light filters and no red is nothing. There IR laser diode 808 nm pumps the neodymium solid-state infrared laser of 1064 nm, and, then, the nonlinear crystal converts the infrared of 1064 nm in the green at 532 nm. Efficiency of the whole matter in the end is not much worse than that of the red laser diode (an important amendment: if the quality crystals that Chinese is not always). And given that the sensitivity of eyes to 532 nm is 4 times higher than 635-660 nm red diode lasers, green turns many times more efficient at equal brightness.

Tips for Choosing a tool

In the market of laser levels are presented as widely as possible, both in retail and online stores, it is often only complicates the task of selection. And the types of questions asked in the relevant branches of the forum, with minor variations looks like.

Going to do major repairs in your home, you need to purchase some tools, in particular, laser level. Plan: leveling and lining / painting walls, installation spots on the ceiling mounting frame partitions, remaking the stairs to the attic. What level advise taking into account the scope of work?

Egor Manin

The tasks are fairly typical, so in this case I would recommend a level that projects a laser cross is the point of the plumb and the work function in the slope.

Now more about each function, and what they still need.

The projection of mutually perpendicular laser lines - allows for both horizontal and vertical alignment of the indoors. Also, in some models it is possible to adjust the number of laser lines, depending on what is a priority for you to perform the steps of the work.

Projection points plummet - a feature that significantly expands the functionality of leveling. The points are used as a laser plummet and allow you to check the correctness of the installation of windows, doors openings or evenness walls and transfer point from the floor to the ceiling, for example, a markup lighting. How it works? Make marks on the floor much easier than on the ceiling, you see. Therefore, to install the spots with a certain step, you make the initial layout on the floor, and then, setting the lowest point of the plumb leveling the mark, it will automatically project the top at the right place at the ceiling.

For tasks such as installing handrails in stairways leveler should be a function of the projection lines in an inclined position. Laser level will project a line at a right angle, which will complete the installation of handrails or other operations that require the construction of a sloping line.

Special attention when buying a leveling expert recommends pay on accessories, which he staffed.

Very often, a user who only decidesbuy levelIt draws attention solely on the instrument itself, and at equal functions of the two leveling often makes the choice in favor of a budget option, believing that the price difference is due only to the presence of brand. In fact, holders of professional leveler - is the key not only fast and high-quality work, but also save your nerves. In the development of our accessories design engineers pay fastening and rotating platform not just as much attention as to create the most lasers.

Simplicity and ease of mounting, a secure placement on metal tool profiles on a ceiling or on a wall, the presence of the turntable, which allows to change the position of the laser lines without leveling offset relative to the original location - all this not only ensures maximum accuracy of work, but also makes the job enjoyable and maximum effective. In our time, a waste of time - it is a luxury, so choose for yourself only high quality tools.

Members of our portal is also advised to take into account the after-sales service - the availability of service centers makes life easier if the appliance is out of order during the warranty period. And of course, the longer the guarantee and the more cases it covers, the better.

Egor Manin

In most models of laser levels of our company operatesspecial service "Supergarantiya"(In addition to the existing guarantee 3 years): in the case of tool breakage (even if there is mechanical damage) to the user level repair for free. Or replace with a new one when you contact an authorized service center within the first year after purchase. This service is free and operates automatically after purchase.
