In modern construction, special devices based on laser operation are used. The so-called laser levels are used for mounting stretch ceilings, laying tiles, leveling when installing windows, etc. They have the ability to build two planes - vertical and horizontal.
Bosch Quigo Laser Level
Any laser equipment is a precision instrument. The Bosch Quigo laser level also has high accuracy and the ability to project in two planes - vertical and horizontal. With the help of this device it is possible to carry out the alignment of walls and ceilings. The Bosch level is also used when installing pipes, fences, installing formwork for the foundation, as well as for interior decorative repairs - hanging paintings, curtains, laying tiles.
Allocate rotational and positional products. Positional laser level Bosch Quigo is mainly used inside small spaces, in itself is not very expensive and consists ofprism set LEDs. This level has a long service life.
The Bosch Quigo rotary laser level has a higher cost and a number of additional functions - one of them, for example, drawing a circular sector on a construction site. Suitable for professional construction work, the laser beam reaches 600m.
The level itself consists of an optical projection system, a tripod mount, and batteries. A system of semiconductors, under the action of an electric current, produces photons of light. Optical mirrors focus the beam and redirect it to the projection point, and the light comes out as a laser beam. The description of the Bosch Quigo laser level says that it has a self-leveling system thanks to the built-in gyroscope and servos.
Features
Consider the characteristics of the Bosch Quigo laser level:
- using a 637 nm diode;
- use second class laser beam;
- maximum laser beam line length is 7m;
- powered by 2 x 1.5V AAA batteries;
- during operation, an error is possible, approximately 0.8 mm per 1 m of the laser beam length;
- duration of continuous operation is up to 3 hours, then you can replace the batteries and use the level again;
- the design has a special 1/4 inch tripod mount, which is included in the level kit;
- possibility of cross horizontal and vertical lines;
- level has dimensions of 65 x65 x 65 and weight 250 g;
- warranty period is at least 2 years.
The level packaging kit includes the level itself, batteries and mounts. Additionally, it is recommended to purchase special glasses that enhance the visibility of the laser beam.
Application
To get started, place the level on a tripod or fix it on any fixed surface. It can be a window sill, a chair, a table. After that, it is necessary to direct it to the surface that will be leveled or on which something will be installed. The device is turned on and a line is marked with a pencil, then turn the device and return it to its original position. Thus, the accuracy is checked, if the lines match, then the device can be used. Further, all the necessary measurements and laying of marking lines are already concretely performed. After finishing work, be sure to turn off the level.
During operation, in no case should you direct the beam at people and animals, keep children away, do not let it get into the moisture level. When carrying the appliance, always turn it off.
Advantages and disadvantages
The Bosch Quigo laser level has a number of significant advantages over other levels:
- is a multifunctional device and has the ability to project two planes - vertical and horizontal, which is similar to modern plumb lines;
- differentfast installation and reconfiguration, and there is no need to transfer the level, as required by many other species;
- human influence when working with the level is minimized, high accuracy of building laser lines;
- the level has the ability to use a tripod on three legs, which makes work much easier.
The main disadvantage of using this special tool is its price, which differs significantly from simpler models. Therefore, when buying a Bosch level, you should take into account your financial capabilities and application features, perhaps in specific cases it will not be needed.
