Laser rangefinders are measuring tools useful in construction, renovation and finishing work, in the army, forestry, sports, energy, hunting, agriculture and wherever fast and accurate distance measurements are required. They also allow angle and tilt measurements. How does a laser range finder work and how to choose the right laser range finder?

Laser range finders are the most commonly used measuring tools that allow you to quickly measure distances and other spatial measurements.

How does a laser range finder work?

Laser range finders emit electromagnetic pulses in laser beams via their optoelectronic systems. The laser beam reflects off the target surface and returns to the range finder. The range finder systems then process the beam to measure the distance.

The laser range finder can also measure distances by measuring the travel time of the pulse from the range finder to the target and vice versa. This method is used in pulsed laser rangefinders.

Laser rangefinders allow you to take measurements indoors and outdoors with an accuracy of 1mm per kilometer. Professional construction rangefinders can measure distances up to about 150 meters. Long range rangefinders can measure distances up to 1500 meters. These rangefinders are most commonly used in hunting, agriculture, forestry and road construction.

Why is it worth having a laser rangefinder?

Laser rangefinders are the most functional and technologically advanced measuring devices. Their main advantage, apart from extremely precise measurements (+/- 1-5 mm per km), is that they can only be used by one person. Optical rangefinders, used for precise distance measurements on construction sites and in large open spaces, require at least two people at the same time.

Laser rangefinders are also less prone to measurement errors due to tool misalignment and other operator errors. In addition, most professional laser rangefinders are equipped with an electronic alignment aid and an automatic calibration function.

These tools also enable continuous measurements, delay measurements, surface sum or difference measurements, and volume measurements. Advanced processors and readable screens displaying the measurement results installed in laser rangefinders significantly increase their functionality and ease of use, as well as the convenience of everyday use.

What measurements can we take with a laser rangefinder?

Simple distance measurements with laser tools are extremely quick and easy. Just turn on the device, place the laser dot on the surface and start measuring. Most laser range finders have internal memory that stores up to 100 measurements.

The continuous measurement function is particularly interesting because it allows you to measure maximum and minimum values in one measurement cycle and then compare the difference.

Laser rangefinders also allow for accurate room measurements. Processors and algorithms quickly calculate the area or volume of a room. To take these measurements, simply select the appropriate option from the device menu, measure the length of the surface, and then take a perpendicular measurement. To measure a cubic volume, you need to measure the length, width, and height of the room.

Professional laser rangefinders also allow you to take measurements using mathematical functions. This function is based on the Pythagorean equation algorithm. It helps the operator to measure the height of an object with two measurement points as a reference. This is an extremely useful feature that allows you e.g. Measure the height of an object by simply moving the laser point to the top and bottom of that object.
