Capelle a/d IJssel, the Netherlands 20th March 2013 - Topcon Europe Positioning (TEP) has added a new rotating laser to its product line – the RL-200. Designed for general construction, engineering and agricultural land leveling applications, the RL-200 is a high-powered laser built to provide extreme accuracy and increased operating range.
“The RL-200 uses a precise and reliable encoder system to provide superior horizontal accuracy with repeatability of plus or minus 7 arc seconds,” said John Downey, laser products sales manager for TEP.
The new laser is available in single or dual slope models. “If the operator needs slopes up to 25%, it is no problem with the RL-200,” Downey said. The single slope model has a -5% to +25% grade range. The dual slope model adds +/- 10% grade to the second axis.
Both models include an LS-80L laser sensor, specifically designed for the high-powered laser diode and operating range of the RL-200. “Combining the RL-200 with the LS-80L laser receiver provides an 1100 metre diameter working range,” said Downey.
The RL-200 is covered by a five-year guarantee for all Topcon manufactured laser products. “The industry-leading guarantee is a way Topcon can demonstrate our commitment to the long-term equipment performance needs of our customers,” Downey said, “and they will be very happy with the performance of the RL-200.”
