| Leica introduces new measuring tools for builders Leica Geosystems has unveiled a new series of digital measuring tools designed specifically for the construction market. The Leica Builder Series is aimed at all types of contractors in the building sector who have up until now been reluctant to use professional measuring instruments. The new rugged, lightweight instruments are easy to learn, even for beginners who have no experience with digital measuring tools. The rugged Builder stands up to wind, weather and dirt, and is easy to transport in its convenient carrying case that holds most accessories in a single lightweight package. Available in three different levels, the Builder Series products provide a scalable family of solutions, all sharing a common user interface and software routines, making it easy to move up from one model to the next without having to learn new operating procedures. The basic Builder T provides extraordinary value and rapid return on investment by reducing many steps and manipulations in many common tasks, such as fast horizontal angle measurements or plumbing. Built-in features include a laser plummet, endless drives on both sides for horizontal and vertical measurements, brilliant optics with 30x magnification, dual-axis compensation for reliable horizontal and vertical readings, unique leveling guidance for fast and convenient setup, a high-resolution LCD display and audible notice for 90 degree turns. The Builder R incorporates all of the features of the Builder T, plus a bright red visible laser electronic distance-measuring device with ranges up to 250 meters. Also added are built-in software functions for layout, as-built, tie distance and area measurements, and the capability to produce graphic sketches. The top-of-the line Builder RM contains all the abilities of the Builder R, and additionally allows the user to call up construction data, save measurements and transfer data to a PC for editing with the added onboard memory feature. write your comments about the article :: © 2005 Construction News :: home page |
