  5. Alignment Laser ZA

    Alignment Laser ZA

    Battery-operated laser with line, point or cross projection
    The ZA laser module is unique because of its patented battery supply. As a small size wireless laser module, it is industrial-grade yet particularly practical.
    The maintenance-free magnetic on / off switch controls the patented power supply via a 1.5V AA battery or a 1.2V battery. A line, point or cross projection is available in a red wavelength (635 nm) with 1 mW – 5 mW of power.
    The positioning laser is used in the wood, stone and metal industries and has a diameter of Ø20 mm with a length of 108 mm.

  6. Alignment Laser ZD

    Alignment Laser ZD

    Universal mini laser module with line, dot or cross projection
    The ZD laser module can optionally display a line, point, or cross projection. It is often used as a positioning laser in the wood, stone and metal industries. With a laser head diameter of just Ø11 mm, it can be used universally.

  7. Alignment Laser ZKV

    Alignment Laser ZKV

    Flexible circular laser

    The ZKV laser model is a red (or green) positioning laser for alignment applications involving round objects. The positioning aid projects a red circle onto any work surface. The circle’s diameter is infinitely adjustable between 15 ° and 70 ° via the joystick on the connected control -at a 1 m working distance, this results in a circle diameter of 27 cm to 140 cm, for example!
