Laser Measures

A laser measure is a high-precision digital tool designed to capture a laser light measurement by calculating the time it takes for a pulse of light to reflect off a target. By providing instantaneous readings over long distances, these devices eliminate the inaccuracies and physical limitations of conventional tape measures.

At RS, our range of precision instrumentation features industry-leading models from brands such as Bosch, DeWALT, Leica, Fluke, and RS PRO. Whether you require imperial or metric capacities, our selection ensures maximum reliability for professional surveying and site layout tasks.

Laser Measure Functions

A modern laser distance meter does more than measure a single line; it serves as a sophisticated handheld computer. Key functions include:

Continuous Measurement: Also known as tracking mode, this allows you to move the laser measuring device while the display updates in real-time; ideal for finding specific distances from a wall.
Area and Volume Calculation: Automatically multiplies readings to provide square or cubic measurements for flooring and HVAC installs.
Pythagorean Calculation: Uses indirect laser light measurement to calculate heights or widths that cannot be reached directly.
Addition and Subtraction: Quickly totals multiple distances without a separate calculator.
Memory: Stores previous readings to ensure data integrity during complex site audits.

Applications for Laser Measures

The versatility of a laser measuring tool makes it essential across various Australian industries:

Construction and Building Trades: Contractors use a laser distance measurer for rapid site layouts, framing, and verifying structural tolerances.
Fit-Out and Interior Design: Ensures a precise laser light measurement for cabinetry, shelving, and floor coverings in complex spaces.
Property Management and Real Estate: Valuers utilise a laser measuring device to quickly calculate floor areas and generate accurate digital floor plans.
Surveying and Civil Engineering: A high-range laser distance meter is used for topographic mapping and measuring spans across difficult terrain.
Warehousing and Logistics: Used to calculate storage volumes and racking heights to maximise vertical space efficiency.
Laboratory and Quality Control: Provides non-contact, high-accuracy laser distance measures for checking component dimensions without risk of contamination.

How to Choose a Laser Measure

Selecting the optimal laser measuring tool depends on your specific work environment and the complexity of the data required. Consider these technical factors to ensure your laser measuring device meets project demands:

Measurement Range: Short-range units (up to 30m) are ideal for indoor fit-outs, while high-end laser measures are suited for measuring distances exceeding 200m.
Accuracy: Most professional units provide tolerances within ±1.5mm. For laboratory or quality control, seek a laser meter with higher precision ratings.
Laser Colour: Red lasers are standard for indoor use. However, a green laser is more visible in bright outdoor conditions or over long distances.
IP Rating: For construction sites, ensure your laser distance measurer has a high IP rating (e.g., IP54 or IP65) to protect against dust and water ingress.
Connectivity: Modern laser measuring tools often feature Bluetooth integration, allowing you to sync data directly to floor plan apps or BIM software.

By matching these specifications to your workflow, you can invest in a laser meter that provides the durability and data depth necessary for professional Australian trade standards.
