Optical Levels

Why Is an Optical Level Still the Best Choice?

Despite the advancement of laser technology, a professional optical level remains a staple on every construction site. Its greatest advantage is the optical system, which allows for a direct reading from the staff, effectively eliminating errors associated with electronic components.

• The Role of the Compensator: A key element of our levels is the automatic compensator (typically magnetic or air-dampened). It is responsible for the automatic leveling of the instrument's line of sight, which is essential in areas with vibrations caused by heavy construction machinery.

• Rugged Housing: These instruments are designed for heavy-duty use. Metal bodies and reinforced mechanical components, such as tangent screws, ensure smooth operation for many years without the need for frequent rectification.

• Brightness and Contrast: High-quality lenses in our levels allow for error-free readings even in low-light conditions – at dawn, dusk, or in shaded excavations.

What to Look for When Buying?

When choosing an optical level, the key parameter is the standard deviation for 1 km of double leveling. For standard construction work, a result around 1.5 mm – 2.5 mm is sufficient. For engineering tasks, we offer models with a measurement accuracy of $\pm 1$ mm per kilometer.
