Laser Plumbing is proud to be part of the Laser Group, which has grown into one of the top plumbing and electrical contracting networks across New Zealand and Australia. Their members take great pride in their work, placing emphasis on quality, safety and excellent customer service. They are a motivated group with great people skillsets.
Line Lasers
If you’re searching for a laser level to use on your plumbing projects, there are various types available. Some are designed to make the job simpler while others boast high accuracy and can be tailored specifically towards certain tasks.
Line lasers project a horizontal or vertical line onto the surface they’re focused on, which can be used for many purposes such as leveling pipe and fixtures or checking sewer line slopes.
Another type of laser level is a spot laser, which transfers points from one surface to another. These are frequently employed in framing work or electrical installation projects.
Some plumbers also utilize rotary lasers to precisely mark where they will drill holes through joists or studs. This makes the process much more efficient and precise, eliminating much guesswork from it.
Spot Lasers
Spot lasers emit a small circle of light onto an object, commonly used in electrical work and plumbing installation. With 3-spot and 5-spot versions available, spot lasers offer professional versatility for those completing various jobs.
Before selecting a spot laser, it is important to decide its intended use. Will you require it for simple home projects or something more substantial?
You must decide if an auto or manual level is best for your application. Automatic levels will self-level when activated, staying level even if they get jostled around.
Combination Lasers
Laser plumbing is an efficient way to complete projects quickly and precisely. From framing walls, installing plumbing fixtures or running wires, you can use laser technology to keep track of everything on the jobsite while saving both time and money in the process.
Combination lasers combine both lines and spots for a more versatile tool for electricians, plumbers, drywallers and other construction professionals. A combination laser can be employed for horizontal or vertical leveling, squaring and plumb point transfer applications.
The Bosch Self-leveling Cross-line Combination Laser with Plumb Points is an incredibly functional and versatile laser that produces highly visible laser lines (horizontal and vertical) as well as plumb points. Additionally, it has a microadjust dial, plumb spot pivoting capabilities, and a 3.0Ah battery providing up to 9 hours of runtime.
Beam combining has proven successful in increasing the power of laser arrays while maintaining beam quality – something essential for many industrial applications. Lincoln Laboratory has developed wavelength-beam-combining techniques that significantly boost diode laser system brightness.
Projection
Laser projectors, also referred to as projection lasers, utilize mirrors in order to produce sharp projections with laser light. Projection lasers have become ubiquitous in various industries due their ease of use and increased production speed.
In the textile and leather industry, for instance, laser projections are employed during sewing to guarantee material is cut precisely at its correct position. This reduces waste production while improving quality by eliminating unnecessary seams.
Another application is to ensure the vacuum cilinders in a stair rope are correctly positioned, so they don’t get damaged when the milling machine cuts them. This saves time, material and money in the long run.
If you need to produce a level or plumb line, cross-line lasers are an ideal option. These devices can be self-leveling or electronically self-leveling so there’s no need for manual repositioning every time. Furthermore, these lasers produce lines at up to 360 degrees, making them suitable for large work areas and bright environments.
