Webinar: Indirect Measurements

Attend this 45-minute webinar to learn all about indirect distance measurements. We point out helpful tips and tricks which allow you to complete measurements more efficiently.

Case Study

Quick adjustment of suspended ceilings

"The clarity and precision of the laser lines is impressive - even in large rooms." says Manfred Tammeger, using the Lino L6G mainly for suspending ceilings and aligning drywalls.

Case Study

Building an 8000 m vertical university

“The DISTO D810 ensured that the structures were according to the drawings. The device is easy to operate and also works outdoors due to the built-in camera.” said Priyanka Bista

Case Study

Overcome the challenge of large tiles

Eberle & Berti have a lot of experience in this area and show how the DISTO X3 in combination with the DISTO Plan app and the Lino L2P5G simplify their life.

Case Study

Simple and precise window installations

The challenge of installing windows especially in large project is that all windows are levelled and aligned. The Leica Lino L2P5G is the perfect tool to overcome this challenge.

Case Study

A perfectly fit light band

Dennis Prauss said happily: “A very big benefit was when I have done the installation and I turned off the laser all the lines were gone an I had no pencil lines left on the top.”

Case Study

Drop ceiling made easy

“There is no interruption to my work because the Lino L2P5G has rechargeable batteries or can be connected to the power supply while I am working.” says Christian Gerber.

Case Study

100% reliable helipad measurements

With the 3D Disto, all details of the pre-installed components, which are aligned slightly differently, can be captured precisely and from one location.

Check accuracy for P2P measurements

See how you can check the accuracy of your DISTO S910 for P2P measurements.

Case Study

High efficiency in drywall construction

In dry wall construction, the alignment of construction elements is very time-consuming. Due to the combination of a Lino L4P1 with a DISTO D2, this effort can be reduced by 50%.

Case Study

Measure and document a manhole

With the DISTO S910, a manhole can be measured and the data transferred to a GIS system. Photos document material and condition at the same time.

Case Study

Measurements for stair building

Installing new elements in old buildings is a challenge, because many angles and dependencies are simply in the air. With the 3D Disto every detail can be measure precisely.
