Laser rangefinder or how to measure distance while standing still
Measure distances up to 250 meters, without a ruler or tape measure, and even while standing still. You will learn how to do this thanks to modern technologies that have developed a new generation of optical-electronic devices – a laser rangefinder. This is a simple and convenient device that will help you determine the distance without any problems.
How the device works
The digital laser rangefinder works on the principle of a children’s laser pointer – a beam with a wavelength that is safe for the human eye. The beam is projected as a thin line at the same time and displays the received information about the distance on the display of the laser level or rangefinder. All that is required from a person when working with the device is to point the device at the object and press the button. It should also be taken into account that there should be no interference between the device and the end point, otherwise the device will not be able to cope with the work.
What are the advantages of laser rangefinders
The work is done quickly and accurately, one of the main advantages is that most devices have built-in memory for saving results. The saved information can be transferred to a computer. A laser rangefinder allows you to quickly and easily measure distance, length, width or height, as well as depth, for example, wells, boreholes or mines. An optical laser rangefinder works for about 14 hours from a set of batteries. Many manufacturers have taken care of the built-in energy saving functions of the device. The device is quite compact and lightweight, making it easy to use.
What to look for when choosing a rangefinder
First of all, you should decide what functions you need in the device, where the rangefinder will be used, and determine the level of required accuracy. As a rule, the cost of the device depends on these criteria.
The device can be household or professional. The first configuration usually has standard functions – measuring distances, subtraction, addition, determining area and volume, saving results. Professional rangefinders can be equipped with an inclinometer, a timer, a function for dividing into segments, a digital and optical sighting device. The device can also have a slot for a memory card and Bluetooth.
You should find out in advance whether the device can be installed on a tripod. With a tripod, measurements are more accurate, since the error due to trembling hands is excluded. Depending on where you will use the rangefinder, pay attention to the dust and moisture protection class of the device.
The “Messtechnik DERR” catalog presents a wide selection of rangefinders of different types, configurations and pricing policies. We offer the best products and consultations from store specialists in Germany and throughout the European Union.
Electronic tape measure – a worthy replacement for a tape model
A tape measure is a device that can be found in a toolbox in any home. You don’t have to be a builder, tape measure is often used in any apartment or house, it can be needed for basic things – for example, to check whether a new wardrobe or sofa will fit through a doorway. Technologies do not stand still, and the usual tape model is being replaced by an electronic tape measure – a modern measuring device. The online store “Messtechnik DERR” offers a wide range of laser tape measures and other measuring devices of excellent quality at reasonable prices.
Advantages of modern electronic tape measures
An electronic tape measure, like any modern tool, has a number of advantages over its tape predecessor. The first, most noticeable advantage is that a laser tape measure does not require the work of two pairs of hands, you can easily handle it alone – you just need to press the buttons a few times and correctly aim the laser beam. You can handle the rest of the device yourself. The entire measurement process takes a few seconds. Also, the device is organized in such a way that you will not need to constantly re-check the measurements obtained. The error in the readings of the measuring electronic tape measure is quite insignificant, especially compared to the old tape analogue. With this device, you can measure not only the length, but also the convenient depth when working with shafts or wells.
Features and additional functions
Before buying an electronic tape measure, you need to decide on the required measurement distance. A laser ruler, like a regular tape measure, is designed for a certain footage – the store offers models from 15 to 250 meters. As a rule, a 20-30-meter device is enough for household purposes. A construction laser can have a number of additional useful functions: minimum-maximum, determining not only the length, but also the area and volume, functions of mobile measurement and diagonal measurement, built-in memory, transferring measurements to a personal computer, addition and subtraction function, reference value function and many others. All these functions depend on the type of software installed in the device. Professional equipment can be equipped with such a function as an optical sight or a sighting device. It visually reduces the distance to the object, helping to aim.
When choosing the right model, as when buying any other device, you should pay attention to the strength of the case, power supply, operating time without replacing the battery, equipment, weight and size of the device. Most modern models have a built-in energy saving function, thanks to which it is possible to save significantly. By the way, the device can work up to 14 hours from a regular set of batteries.
You can also clarify whether it is possible to retrofit the device with a tripod for more accurate measurements and to eliminate the effect of shaky hands.
When working with a tape measure, experts recommend keeping the device clean, not exposing the device to too high or low temperatures, ensuring that the device does not fall, is not scratched, and protects it from impacts. Then the device will work for a long time and reliably, and most importantly, provide accurate measurements.
Residents of Germany and the entire European Union can use the services of the online store “Messtechnik DERR”.
