Often imitated but never surpassed,
Leica rotating lasers, single grade lasers, dual grade lasers, pipe
lasers, and line lasers have been at the forefront of laser tracking
technology for more than 15 years. These portable measuring machines
have enabled companies around the world to deliver innovative products,
achieve unheard-of tolerances, substantially lower manufacturing costs
and increase productivity well beyond their expectations. Whether it's
general construction, pipe laying, or interior walls and ceilings, these
lasers are built to handle any environment.

Products Comparison Booklet
General Construction Lasers
Work confidently with the Rugby Series General Construction Lasers
- self-leveling for jobs of any size, large or small. The Leica
Rugby has the features you need to get the job done.
Interior Lasers
Flexibility is the key with the Roteo serie or the Rugby 55 and
Rugby 200 from Leica Geosystems. Great features, fully sealed, the
Leica lasers are ready to work for you.
Machine Control Lasers
Leica Geosystems' Grade Lasers are the most accurate and reliable
lasers for machine control applications that require precise grade.
They can be used wherever level, single or dual grades are required,
and are compatible with Leica Geosystems' 2D and 3D Machine Control
Systems for ultimate grade control.
Pipe Lasers
The Leica Piper series of pipe lasers are perfect for: storm and
sanitary sewer construction, gravity flow pipe line and anywhere
grade and line are required with a single beam. Choose from the
Piper 100 or the Piper 200 with Alignmaster.
Line Laser
The time consuming and tedious drawing of lines on the wall is a
thing of the past. The Leica Lino L2 projects exactly, quickly and
easily – allowing you to concentrate on the job in hand.
Laser Detectors
The ROD-EYE Family of Sensors offers solutions for any general construction
and interior application, and are ideally matched to work with the
RUGBY Family of Lasers.
In surveying and construction,
the laser level is affixed to a tripod, leveled and then spun to illuminate
a horizontal plane. The laser beam projector employs a rotating head
with a mirror for sweeping the laser beam about a vertical axis. If
the mirror is not self-leveling, it is provided with visually readable
level vials and manually adjustable screws for orienting the projector.
A staff carried by the operator is equipped with a movable sensor which
can detect the laser beam and gives a signal when the sensor is in line
with the beam (usually an audible beep). The position of the sensor
on the graduated staff allows comparison of elevations between different
points on the terrain.
Laser Line Levels
Typical consumer laser line level using spirit levels for three planes
and including a digital stud sensor display.A laser line level is a
tool combining a spirit level and/or plumb bob with a laser to display
an accurately horizontal or vertical illuminated line on a surface the
laser line level is laid against. Laser line levels are used wherever
accurate verticals and horizontals are required, typically in the construction
and cabinetry industries. Some models are inexpensive enough for do-it-yourself
applications.
The laser beam is fanned to produce a thin plane beam accurately horizontal
or vertical, rather than a pinpoint beam. The axis of the laser is offset
from the wall, so that a pinpoint beam would be parallel to and offset
from the wall, and would not illuminate it; the fanned beam will intersect
the wall, creating an accurately horizontal (or vertical) illuminated
line along it.
The level is set up using the built-in spirit level or plumb bob, and
the line along the surface is then guaranteed to be accurately horizontal
or vertical to within a certain tolerance, specified either in millimetres
per metre or fractions of an inch over a specified distance in feet.
A more advanced device may be accurate to within 0.3mm/m; while lower
end models may be closer to 1.5mm/m.
The illuminated line is necessarily absolutely straight, so that the
line level can be used as a straightedge, for example, to see if a shelf
is warped, even if not horizontal.
