Bosch GLM 80 Professional Laser Measure


Introducing the new Bosch GLM 80 Professional laser measuring instrument incorporating a digital tilt sensor and rechargeable battery pack.





  • Bosch GLM 80 Professional is a laser rangefinder with integrated tilt sensor


  • Makes it easier to perform indirect height and distance measurement


  • Including lithium-ion battery, which is charged using a micro USB cable

For professionals who want to measure distances, heights and inclines the easy way, there is now the Bosch GLM 80 Professional from Bosch.

It combines the functions of a rangefinder and an inclinometer in one tool, and it can be turned into a digital spirit level by clicking it into the measuring rail R 60 Professional, which has been specially designed for this purpose. As a result, this all-rounder covers a very wide range of applications and sets new standards in the measuring technology segment.

The Bosch GLM 80 Professional measures distances of up to 80 meters and has a typical accuracy of ± 1.5 millimetres. All data can be read on the large, illuminated display, which turns automatically as soon as the tool is moved from a vertical to a horizontal position.

Digital Incline Sensor
The Bosch GLM 80 features a digital incline sensor allowing the user to record the instruments angle and undertake advanced measurements like indirect height measuring with the Pythagorean function.

Rechargeable Battery Pack
The Bosch GLM80 is equipment with a rechargeable battery pack as standard. A standard micro USB port allows the lithium-ion battery to be charged for up to 25,000 measurements per charge.

Rotating Screen
The Bosch GLM 80 is the first laser measuring instrument to feature an automatic display rotation. The contents of the display turn depending upon the position of the instrument to ensure that the values can be read in any position.

Tilt Sensor
Obtain the result faster thanks to easier height and distance measurement
The Bosch GLM 80 features a digital incline sensor allowing the user to record the instruments angle and undertake advanced measurements like indirect height measuring with the Pythagorean function.

It works on both axes of the tool and covers a radius of 120 or 360 degrees depending on the reference side. This sensor makes it possible, for example, to calculate the height of a building with a single measurement.

A completely new application with only one click
When clicked into the measuring rail R 60 Professional, which has been specially developed for this purpose, the Bosch GLM 80 Professional becomes a digital spirit level. The integrated rail detection system ensures that when the tool is switched on, it automatically switches to the inclination measuring mode and the display turns accordingly. This enables, for example, the inclines of rafters and stringers to be checked or sanitary objects such as shower tubs to be aligned, all with an accuracy of ± 0.2 degrees. An audio signal is emitted at 0 and 90 degrees to help with this.

Crowcon Detection Instruments



When sourcing a gas monitor, the first thing a customer always encounters is the vast array of instruments and manufacturers. In recent years, the choice has increased with the development of smaller, lighter models featuring larger screens, simpler functions and a greater array of sensors.

Instrument features are not the only consideration that should be taken into account, reliability, cost of ownership and functionality in arduous environments should always be at the top of the list of considerations when choosing a safety related product.

A range of instruments that can meet these considerations and more, are from the UK based manufacturer, Crowcon.

Crowcon Detection Instruments are specialises in developing toxic gas detection equipment. With over 40 years experience, Crowcon has developed a range of gas detection instruments that are extremely reliable and provides a low cost of ownership.
