Does BPSE only carry one type of laser?

No, we carry Rotating Lasers, Grade Lasers, Horizontal / Vertical Lasers, Pipe Lasers, Line & Point Lasers.

What are the differences between a rotating laser and a line laser?

A rotary laser level is an instrument that spins a beam of light fast enough to create a complete 360-degree horizontal or vertical plane. They can be used internally or externally, with a laser receiver. Rotary laser levels are incredibly accurate, this level of precision is difficult to achieve with traditional bubble levels and other manual leveling tools. A cross-line laser uses a prism to deflect the laser in roughly 180 degrees vertically, horizontally, or both. That creates a bright, steady beam that's very easy to see.

Do any of these lasers work with machine control?

Yes, only one of the lasers that we carry works with machine control. The Grade Laser GL700 Series.

Do the lasers work off of batteries or do you charge it?

Both, some of the units come with a rechargeable battery pack and the others you have to use normal C or D batteries.

Frequently Asked Questions

Construction lasers are crucial for precise measurements and high-quality work. Here are some commonly asked questions about how they help:

What Types of Construction Lasers Are There?

There are five types of construction lasers: dot, plumb up/down, line, rotary and laser detector lasers. Here's a breakdown:

Dot laser: Dot lasers have three basic lasers that create single or multiple dots along the wall or work surface.
Plumb up/ plumb down laser: These lasers generate beams that help frame rooms or transfer measurements from the floor to the ceiling.
Line laser: These lasers can generate configurations of lines on a particular surface.
Rotary laser: Rotary lasers emit a rotating dot at high speeds to produce a 360° image of the work environment.
Laser detector: This tool is used outdoors to receive the laser beam.

How Accurate Are Construction Laser Levels?

Construction laser levels are highly accurate, as compared to traditional spirit levels. However, human measurements are more likely to yield inaccuracies, necessitating unnecessary rework. 3D laser scanning technology has the capability to capture millions of data points in a single scan and create high-precision 3D building information modeling (BIM)that is true to scale.

What Is a Rotating Laser Level Used for in Construction?

A rotating laser level is used to establish an accurate horizontal or vertical plane in construction. It produces a 360° level laser line around a workspace. Some tasks it's used for include grading and earthmoving, machine control and concrete work, such as checking slab flatness and levelness. Rotating lasers can also help with the layout and alignment of walls, ceilings, foundations and other structural elements.

What Is the Difference Between a Pipe Laser and a Rotating Laser?

The difference between a pipe laser and a rotating laser is that a rotating laser projects a continuous 360° laser plane, while a pipe laser projects a singular, precise laser beam at a specific grade. Rotating lasers are typically used for alignment or general leveling in large construction sites, while pipe lasers are typically used for aligning and leveling pipes for sewage and other water installation projects.

How Do Grade Lasers Work With My Machine Control Systems?

Grade lasers work with machine control systems to provide highly accurate, real-time elevation guidance. The laser emits a continuous laser plane at the desired grade and offers enhanced visual guidance. Operators can use grade lasers with machine control systems to achieve precise grades without needing to manually check elevations or communicate with workers on the ground.

I work for a large concrete contractor, out of Rocky Mount VA. We use the Trimble layout system. I started in this business 30 years ago, back when even the theodolite was not digital! Things have changed drastically, BuildingPoint SouthEast has helped increase our production and accuracy greatly! Here's to doing business together for years to come!
