  • Publication number: 20240027623
    Abstract: The disclosure relates to a method for determining a profile section of an object and/or space by means of a 2D laser scanner having a laser rangefinder, including: recording mutually assignable distance measurement values and distance measurement directions by means of the laser rangefinder in a measuring plane traversed radially by a laser beam of the laser rangefinder, determining the profile section, from the distance measurement values and distance measurement directions, determining an angle of inclination of the measuring plane with respect to a reference plane, and correcting the profile section using the angle of inclination of the measuring plane. According to the disclosure, the angle of inclination of the measuring plane is determined by using the laser rangefinder. The disclosure also relates to a 2D laser scanner and to a system.

  • Patent number: 11674800
    Abstract: A laser level includes a level body, the level body including a body housing and a laser light source contained in the body housing, the laser light source configured to emit a laser light beam plane so as to project a laser light line on a target surface, the laser light beam plane configured to form an adjustable angle relative to a horizontal plane, and the laser level including a fixing structure configured to fix the laser light source such that the laser light beam plane projected therefrom is fixed at an adjusted angle, the laser light line providing a levelling height when in a horizontal state. The laser level further includes an adjustment means configured to adjust the attitude of the laser light source when the laser light line projected onto the target surface from the laser light source from a non-horizontal state to a horizontal state.

  • Publication number: 20230045402
    Abstract: A laser leveling device includes at least one laser emitting device for emitting a laser marking, in particular a one-dimensional laser marking, in an emission direction onto a projection surface. The laser emitting device includes a first sensor device for ascertaining the actual alignment of the at least one laser emitting device with respect to the projection surface, a controller which is designed to calculate a target alignment of the at least one laser emitting device at least on the basis of the ascertained actual alignment of the at least one laser emitting device with respect to the projection surface, and a positioning device for aligning the at least one laser emitting device according to the target alignment. The disclosure additionally relates to a leveling method.
