Laser Height Measurement

Article Series: How LTI Lasers Work

 

Definition of Height:

a) 1: the highest part; 2: highest or most advanced point;

b) 1: the distance from the bottom to the top of something standing upright; 2: the extent of elevation above a level

c) the condition of being tall or high

d) 1: an extent of land rising to a considerable degree above the surrounding country; 2: a high point or position.

 

All of Laser Tech’s laser rangefinders that are equipped with a tilt sensor measure height with a simple 3-shot routine. These devices include the TruPulse® Series of rangefinders. To use this laser measuring tool, follow this routine: The first shot establishes the horizontal distance to your target, while the 2nd and 3rd shots establish the top and base angles.  The height is then calculated and instantly displayed on the in-scope HUD.

 


More About Laser Tech Measurements

The type of laser we use in our products is an infrared, semiconductor, GaAs laser diode. The generated light energy has a wavelength of approximately 900 nanometers, with a beam divergence of 3 milliradians – equal to a beam width of roughly 0.3 meters at 100 meters or likewise, 3 feet at 1000 feet.

Our family of laser measurement devices is based on lidar technology. Lidar is an acronym that stands for Light Detection and Ranging.

Measure an angle between any two points within the same horizontal plane when you integrate any of Laser Tech’s laser rangefinders with a MapStar® TruAngle®.

Our industrial level sensors are non-contact, easily installed and configured, and can offer significant advantages for certain applications over other sensing technologies.

All Laser Tech laser speed devices give you the ability to instantly determine a vehicle’s speed, both approaching and departing.
