Measuring is defined as the determination of the physical characteristics of an object (measured item) by practical comparison with known dimensions (measuring quantities).
Laser measure
A laser measure is a high-precision device for determining distances. There is a wide range of laser measuring devices. From models with simple length measurement to advanced models with functions like stake-out- measurement or camera viewfinder. There are even models that connect wirelessly to your smartphone or tablet, allowing you to transfer the measurements to a photo or floorplan. So, with our Laser measure you can work simply, precisely and fast. Rangefinders usually have a red laser, as a standard in the industry. Some of our laser measure have a green laser, which is more visible to the human eye than compared to the red laser.
Angle measure (protractor)
A protractor is a measuring device that is used to calculate or draw angles in terms of degrees. Angle measuring is a method to determine the position of workpiece or components in relation to each other.
Inclinometer
An inclinometer is an instrument used for measuring angles of slope, elevation, or depression of an object with respect to gravity's direction. Inclination measuring is used to measure and indicate deviations from the vertical or horizontal.
Measuring wheel
The lightweight measuring wheel measures purely mechanically distances while walking and is an effective method of simple distance quantification. Especially the measurement of curves is facilitated. Even though the measuring wheel is a mechanical and not a digital instrument for distance measurement, it is still a convenient tool to use, e.g. for road traffic matters.
Using the human foot as a reference
Long ago, the human body was the reference base. The foot was the first known human body part used for measurement. 1 foot is the length of a foot from the big toe to the heel.
Using the human cubit as a reference
The cubit was a unit that indicated the length from the elbow to the fingertips. This unit was used in ancient cultures in Mesopotamia, Egypt and Rome. Even today, countries like the United States use units of length based on the human body, such as yard, foot, and inch.
Using the earth as a reference
As industry began to grow, it became necessary to standardize units of length worldwide. After discussions on this subject in Europe, France proposed the unit of the meter in 1791. At that time, the distance of the meridian from the North Pole to the equator served as a reference. In 1793, the French National Convention established a new measure of length: The meter was to be the 10-millionth part of the earth's quadrant on the Paris meridian – that is, the 10-millionth part of the distance from the North Pole to the equator via Paris.
Using the speed of light as a reference
From the beginning, a unit using the Earth as a reference was considered difficult to measure. Problems also arose with errors in creation and degradation of the prototype measurement unit over time. This led to discussions about creating a new reference. Thanks to advances in laser technology, the length of one meter was defined in 1983 based on the speed of light and time. Today, one meter is defined as "the distance light travels in a vacuum in 1/299 792 458 seconds" as defined in 1983.

Today´s solution
Laser measure
A laser beam is sent out during measuring. The laser light is reflected by the measured item. The reflection is acquired by a sensor in the rangefinder. The distance is calculated electronically from the difference in time between the sending and receiving of the laser signal. The measurement result is converted and displayed in meters, centimeters and millimeters or in inches and feet via the time factor between sending and receiving.
Inclinometer
The digital level is equipped with an internal sensor which aligns itself with gravity. If the position of the digital level changes in relation to the direction of gravity, the sensor will measure the magnitude of the deviation and indicate it as digital value on display.The results can be displayed in angular degrees (°), in percent (%) and millimeter per meter (mm/m).
Electronic angle measure
The electronic angle measure is equipped with a rotation sensor by forwarding the signals internally. The rotation sensor detects the angle between the two legs of the angle finder several times per second and controls the resulting value by comparison with the full circle (360°). The current angle is shown digitally on the display.
Measuring wheel
The wheel circumference of each measuring wheel is defined, and there are different wheel sizes. In the wheel there is a disc that measures each revolution and expresses this in centimeters and meters on a display i.e. a mechanical counter.
