The Highest Measuring Accuracy

When taking measurements, there is only one way

Laser measuring - Why?

Tape Measures


Take a tape measure and measure a room. Commonly there will be furniture, tables and expensive ornaments in the way. On most occasions two people will be needed to measure over or around these obstacles. It’s quite a time consuming task. Oh yes a try not to break anything!

In order to save time, you may use an ultra-sonic tape measure. By their very nature, ultra-sonic devices are estimators and are not precision measuring instruments. If you take ten measurements of a room, you will find that 8 measurements are different.


Ultra-Sonic

Ultra-sonic devices emit a sound wave similar to ships sonar and measuring the first returning signal. If you measure a living room, the signal will bounce of furniture, tables, plants and curtains. Anything in front of the wall, will return a signal before you achieve a measurement from the wall it’s self.

Ultra-sonic instruments are cheap but not accurate. You would spend more time taking a measurement than with a tape measure.



If you want speed and accuracy, a laser measuring device is the preferred choice.

Laser Measure

A small laser beam is emitted and can be accurately positioned onto the target area. When a measurement is taken, millions of light waves are sent through the laser beam. The instrument measures the time it takes to send and receive these signals. In most cases this happens in a fraction of a second.

With a laser beam the small red dot can be position over or under an item. The laser will not be affected by surrounding obstacles and will only measure the distance to the dot.

This allows the operator to measure outdoors to a range of 200 meters. With advances in the Leica Disto technology, digital point finders help to position the laser even if you can not see the red dot. The best bit, only one person is required and it only takes a fraction of a second.

The best laser measuring device is the Leica Disto.

Measuring Outside

When measuring outdoors, you may not be able to see the red laser dot over a distance of 20 metres or 65 feet. The red laser dot will be visible on the target but the human eye is not powerfull enough to see the laser at a distance.

Although the Leica Disto D3 is more than capable of measure outdoors, without a viewfinder you may not be able to locate the laser dot. Try to use the red laser glasses. This will enhance the laser dot and at the same time you could start a new fashion!

Digital Pointfinder
Alternatively invest in the new Leica Disto D5 or Leica Disto D8 models. Leica have introduced the first digital pointfinder into these instrument, allowing the user to view the target on the large colour screen. Simply aim the instrument, view through the screen and measure.

This is a very big step in the evolution of laser measuring. In simple terms a digital camera incorporated into the instrument collects the image and allows the operator to view through the crystal clear display.

Leica DISTO D8 laser measure

Leica Geosystems has introducted the most advanced laser measuring instrument - Leica DISTO D8 featuring the highest measuring accuracy (±1mm) over a distance of 200m and Bluetooth wireless technology. Incorporating a digital viewfinder with large colour display, the Leica DISTO D8 is the perfect inside and outdoor measuring.

Bluetooth
With intergrated Bluetooth technology, measuring results can be wirelessly and accuratly transferred to a PC, Pocket PC or table. All measurements can be inputed directly into Excel, Word, Access, AutoCAD and many more.

Free Software
Delivered as part of the package Leica are shipping with the Leica DISTO D8 a transfer software which manages the communication between your software and the laser measure. The AutoCAD plug-in allows convenient planning and drawing with your AutoCAD software.

Digital Pointfinder
The integrated digital pointfinder with a 4x zoom makes finding the target at long distances much easier. Its high resolution capability provides a sharp, crystal-clear image displayed through the large colour display.

Large Colour Display
The Leica DISTO D8 features a new large, high resolution colour display presents the measurement results and additional information in an easy to read format.

Tilt Sensor
Thanks to the in-built tilt sensor, you can quickly and simply measure tilts up to ± 360°. The tilt sensor also allows you to measure absolutely horizontally or measure past obstructions (horizontal distance).

Long Range Mode
The Long Range (LR) mode can be selected to allow measurements over long distances and in sunny conditions to be recorded without problems.

Multi-functional End-piece
Building upon the Leica DISTO D5, the Leica DISTO D8 features a multifunctional endpeice. When you need to measure from a corner, simply flip out the end piece and take the measurement. The instrument will automatically sense the position of the bracket and adjust the measurement accordingly.

Multiple functions
The Leica DISTO D8 can also calculate areas, volumes, room dimensions, various types of Pythagorean functions and a new Trapezium function. A time delay release and enough memory for up to 20 measurements finish off the instruments wide range of functions – a concept designed to make your work easier.
