Rugged,
reliable and easy to use. A pipe laser for tough use.
The AC1 is developed for the toughest of laser applications - pipe
laying. It has a shock proof and water tight metal housing.
It features a fully built-in battery with a very long operating
life from each charge. The large control panel and the long range,
visible laser beam makes the AC1 easy to use. Unique automatic functions
enables very fast and accurate setup. |

Pipe laying - a tough application
The AC1 is engineered to withstand heavy wear during many years
of hard use. The housing is manufactured in aluminum. Even the remote
control is made out of metal, water proof and rugged.
The battery is completely enclosed to avoid problems with leakage
and poor contact found with interchangeable battery packs, or inconvenience
with external power cables.
Easy of use
The AC1 is designed for easy operation. The laser beam is clearly
visible and workable over a range of up to 200m. Push button symbols
and commands are logical and easy to understand. Advanced functions
that make operation easier for the experienced user, are hidden
and will not distract the inexperienced user.
The display is large and legible, and it is angled upwards to be
easily read from above. Its back light can be operated from the
remote control to make the display visible in poor light.
The AC1 has a large battery capacity. A full 7 hour charge will
give well over a working week's operation. In emergency cases, 30
minutes of charge will give you a full day's use. The AC1 can also
be powered off an external battery.
Quick set-up
The AC1 is quick and simple to set up for a new job.
The laser beam travels fast. It will rarely take more than 10 seconds
from power on to full accuracy. This means fast set-up.
The AC1 can be placed in a pipe with a large cross-axis tilt (+/-
3°). The grade is automatically compensated to full accuracy.
This makes it easy to get the laser in place even in tricky positions.
The automatic plum line beam travel enables you to side align the
beam at any height. The beam will always travel vertically, even
if the laser is placed with a large cross-axis tilt angle. You can
place a stave on the edge of the trench in line with both manholes,
pull up the beam with the remote control (up to 40% grade) and side
align the beam onto the stave. Thereafter you let the beam go down
to the working grade - AC1 keeps the side alignment accurate. |
