Newly launched is an aluminium dual grade laser, the Ama Laser DL, which is said to be the only levelling instrument on the market with separate displays for x and y grades, which will reduce the risk of errors and ease measurement.The integrated handle and low weight make this measuring instrument - which is also claimed to be both shock proof and watertight - easy to carry around. Built-in rechargeable batteries will reduce operational problems.

The instrument is a rotating, self-levelling diode laser with grade settings in two planes and visible red light. It is manufactured by the Swedish company Ama Laser Systems AB.

"We think that rental companies and the larger enterprises in the construction and pipe-laying branches need an easily-used and reliable all-round instrument that everyone can use," says the company's Managing Director, Fredrik Nilsson.
"This instrument can be used by major firms - such as those carrying out construction, pipe-laying and infrastructure projects - but also for simpler marking out."

No need for on-site instruction
The x and y grade displays are positioned at right-angles to each other in a design similar to the AC1 pipe-laying laser instrument from the same company.

"This makes its use simple and intuitive, and rental company staff will now be able to avoid going out to explain how the instrument works," hopes Fredrik Nilsson. The product is based on proven technology in respect of its motors, mechanism and electronics. Despite having new functions the Ama Laser DL is not any more expensive than its predecessor, the Multi-Laser 4000. Software for the control functions can be downloaded from a PC, without needing to open the instrument, which can also be supplied with a remote control.

Unlike its competitors, who fit exchangeable battery packs, the company has chosen to use built-in batteries with an operating time of 60-70 hours and a recharging time of about six hours. Many operating problems are caused by damp and dust entering instruments when battery packs are changed.

The thick aluminium case ensures the unit is robust, and every product is tested to guarantee continued accuracy even after severe impacts. The sealing is also tested, and the instrument is filled with nitrogen to protect the optics against damp.

The Ama Laser DL is capable of being used in temperatures between -20 and +50 degrees C, without reducing its measuring accuracy of +/- 5 mm per 100 metres. The grade accuracy in the x plane is -5 to +20 per cent and in the y plane -7 to 7 per cent, which should cover most measurement situations. The instrument even has a built-in folding stand, which permits setting of the whole x plane range without additional accessories.

Ama Laser Systems was founded in 1980 and manufactures construction laser instruments for professional use. Most of the production is exported and the international market is served through distributors.
