New Topcon laser adds value to visibility

LIVERMORE, CA Topcon Positioning Systems™ has combined advanced features, a compact design, and an economical price to create a new professional interior laser that™s right for all jobs and all budgets.


            The new RL-VH4G incorporates the industry™s most visible laser the world™s first GreenBeam® technology introduced by Topcon in 1997 and these productive features:


– SmartScan® beam control with line drawing;


– Extended battery operation (up to twice that of other lasers);


– Electronic slope and alignment control;


– Horizontal, vertical, plumb, and 90 degree beam versatility;


– Radio remote control, line-of-sight not required;


– Compact design with removable laser guard.


            Compared to ordinary red beam lasers, Topcon™s GreenBeam technology quadruples beam brightness,Âť said Mark Contino, Topcon™s director of international sales and marketing. You never lose the beam, even in direct sunlight, and you won™t ever again waste time hunting for a laser beam on your target.Âť


            Using the instrument™s exclusive scan target, an operator can capture the beam and Ëśstretch™ it to any length, up to 180-degrees,Âť Contino said. This creates a steady line of green laser light that is bright, stable and perfectly level.Âť


            The package includes a height-adjustable wall mount for ceiling grid installations; it can also be used to set a level reference when hanging cabinets or setting countertops.


            By placing the RL-VH4G on its side,Âť Contino said, (using its built-in floor mount), vertical set-ups are a snap. Simply set it over layout points and the laser transfers these points to any vertical surface on the job to position studs, drop walls, or bulkheads.Âť


            With the 90-degree beam emitted from the top and bottom of the instrument, you can speed up the pace of any 90-degree layout or alignment by quickly establishing corners and tee™s.


            The standard RL-VH4G package includes a hard shell carrying case, two magnetic ceiling / scan targets, and four alkaline batteries. The instrument offers three power options for convenience and flexibility: alkaline (standard), rechargeable (optional), and AC run/charge (optional).


            Using alkaline batteries the RL-VH4G provides up to 27 hours of continuous operation, up to twice that of the competition.
