Apparatus laser level
radiators
Sources of laser level light - quite a high-power LEDs. They generate monochromatic light. Usually professional and amateur instruments rays are red or green tint, which can be seen quite clearly at a distance of over 40 meters. Mounted LEDs do not heat up, use a minimum of electricity and do not shine worse over time.
Useful advice! green beam more bright, it can best be seen at work during the day, especially over long distances without the use of a special receiver.
Red LED rays
Optics
Each laser level has a special lens system capable of focusing a ray received at a single point. High quality optics guarantees high precision in the operation of the device and clear visibility. Some devices are equipped with special prisms that are able to dissipate the beam and turn it into a line. Such equipment is more convenient to use.
Using a laser level for laying tiles
Maintaining a balance
Such mechanisms generally used pendulum. If the equipment is exposed to a strictly horizontal, integrated plumb motionless. With a small deviation of the pendulum head deviates in the interaction with the magnetic field produces a current under which influence the system adjusts the position of the level. The most accurate system capable of responding to deviation in tenths or hundredths of a degree per 1 m. 10 m deviation may not exceed 1 mm. Professional devices with gyroscopes and servo drive is much faster to respond to the deviation and ensure maximum accuracy.
Possible directions of the laser beams
Control and power supply unit
Laser Level is running on batteries. For these purposes, manufacturers use mainly nickel-cadmium options that can be recharged from the mains without problems. Qualitative battery enables smooth operation of the device for 7-10 hours during continuous operation. Management on all models is very simple and is carried out with the help of a few buttons.
Using the laser level in construction
Varieties laser levels
To decide how to choose a self-leveling laser level you need to know about all the existing species. These gauges come in several forms. Depending on the measurement accuracy, additional features can be identified:
- laser range finders;
- static builders simple lines;
- Rotary builders planes.
Using a laser level for arranging sex
Laser range finder with high accuracy to measure the distance to the subject, assessing the time during which the beam will pass to the desired point. Such a device is often provided with professional equipment.
Static builders - instruments of a higher level. They allow you to get the intersecting horizontal and vertical angle of 90º. May project 2-8 lines at one time. In such models already in use prismatic optical system.

Rotating levellers. A laser leveling level 360
Rotary builders - the most powerful, high-quality and multi-functional devices. They are equipped with a head that can rotate and create a luminous image plane horizontally and vertically. Such models often comes with a remote control.
By rotating the light beam the device defines a plane. In this laser level easy to check any surface and identify shortcomings. An additional feature it is possible to create a beam directed strictly to the zenith. Range beam manufacturers claim 50-70 m, but using a special receiver, this figure can be increased to 300-400 m. Leveling head can rotate at a speed of 10-600 rev / min. The higher the speed, the better and clearer picture.
Rotary Laser Level
Laser leveling 360 degrees level - quite a powerful and easy-to-use device. His head can rotate in almost any direction, creating both the horizontal plane and vertical. Self-leveling indicator in it small to 4 degrees. There are samples with self-leveling indicator to 60º, but they are very expensive and their acquisition may simply be unprofitable.

How to choose a laser leveling level. The main characteristics of the devices
There are many parameters that affect the precise and smooth operation of the laser level. We list the main ones:
- error;
- range of work;
- type laser;
- class power;
- battery capacity;
- self leveling;
- protection;
- equipment.
Using the self-leveling layer for decorating the ceiling
Error - one of the most important characteristics of any level. From this index directly depends on the result of the work. Its values do not exceed 1-3 mm at 10 m. Professional devices have an error of 0.5-1 mm. When working indoors error of 3 mm is almost imperceptible, such equipment is perfect for use at home.
Options self-leveling laser level LEICA Lino L2
The average construction levels are equipped with laser class 1 or 2. It is small and medium-light sources, but even they can adversely affect vision. 3 Laser class is used in professional devices.
Battery capacity - also an important indicator. Professional devices work without a break of about 30 hours. the figure is 10-12 hours for less powerful hardware. Suitable for home use batteries with an average capacity, but with a large charging speed.
Diagonal tiling using lasers
Useful advice!self-leveling function in the device must be able to turn off. This is useful if the device is to be put under a certain angle.
Since the self-leveling laser levels 360 degrees are often used in a rather unfavorable conditions, the internal parts should be protected. For qualitative models use special sealed and shockproof housing. Many samples for your convenience equipped with goggles, Cases for Equipment, tripod. The kit should include a battery charger and, if the instrument is running on battery power.
The laser rangefinder is capable to calculate the distance to the object
Knowing all the details of design and operation of laser spirit level, you can pick up a good option for use at home. Powerful and highly accurate models can be left to the professionals.
