| DCE088D1G Cross Line |
DCE089D1G Multi-Line |
Each laser has been manufactured in accordance with the IP65 standard, ensuring the production of a water and weatherproof product making it ideal for use in harsh environments and worksite conditions. They feature tough waterproof overmolds and individual locking pendulums that protects the internal components when in transit or not in use.
Each laser in both the multi-line and cross-line tools have a self levelling feature up to 4º making them perfect for use on unlevel surfaces and provide an accuracy of +-3mm @ 10 meter range. They have been individually drop tested from a 2 meter height. Other laser features include a magnetic pivotting base with a standard 1/4" thread allowing them to be mounted on a working tripod.
These fantastic new lasers are next to none and far outdo their RED LASER counterparts.
How Lasers Work:
To put it in laymans terms lasers are machines that align and concentrate trillions of light particles (photons) into a single concentrated beam of light. It starts off with weak light and keeps adding more and more energy so the light waves become ever more concentrated.
The white light produced by an ordinary flashlight contains many different light rays that operate on different wavelengths. Scientifically, white light is referred to as been In-coherent.
However in a laser, all the light rays have the same wavelength and they are coherent (they work on the same frequency as one another helping to form a single beam). This is what makes laser light such a powerful concentration of energy.
1) A high-voltage electric supply makes the tube flash on and off.
2) Every time the tube flashes, it fires energy into the DPSS laser module / crystal. The flash injects energy into the diode in the form of photons. This process is called spontaneous emission.
3) The photons that atoms give off zoom up and down inside the emerald crystal, traveling at the speed of light.
4) For all you physicists according to to the collision theory when one of these photons hits an already excited atom. When this happens, the excited atom gives off two photons of light instead of one. This is called stimulated emission. Now one photon of light has produced two, so the light has been amplified (increased in strength).
5) A mirror at one end of the laser tube keeps the photons bouncing back and forth inside the crystal.
6) A partial mirror at the other end of the tube bounces some photons back into the crystal but lets some escape.
Red Lasers VS Green Lasers
Green is closer to the center of the visible spectrum, at 532 Nanometers, so it's easier for our eyes to perceive the color vs. a red laser at 635 Nanometers. In fact, a green laser can appear as much as 50 times brighter than the red equivalent. So the Primary Benefits of using a green laser over a red laser come down to the range of visibility that it offers. It offers a brighter beam at a longer working distance, therefore becoming more suited to industrial tools and uses.
