Pacific Laser Systems (PLS) launches rugged new laser level platform

Earlier this month, Pacific Laser Systems (PLS), a Fluke company, recently introduced a new product platform — including 11 new point, line, and rotary laser levels — with improved durability, accuracy, and performance. These new professional-grade tools are engineered to meet the demands of often harsh construction environments while easing interior and exterior layout work. The new lasers provide bright, crisp reference points and lines for quick and accurate layout, helping to complete projects on time.

“We’re updating a majority of the PLS laser level offerings to meet the needs of workers on the job site now and into the future,” said Lewis Nelson, product manager at PLS. “The new products replace most existing PLS laser levels to make them more rugged and durable while maintaining high precision. They’re great for daily use on the job site and we expect them to last a long time.”

Included in the upgrades are design and engineering changes to make the tool more dust and water resistant—and built tough enough to withstand a one-meter drop test. A new pendulum lock on the handheld tools, for example, lets a worker protect this moving part during transport to avoid potential wear, thus increasing longevity.

“These additions make what was a good tool even better,” Nelson said. “The new case structure is also more durable than the previous version.”

Rather than launch small sets of tools over time, the platform change allows the product line to be upgraded all at once and enables laser level owners to take advantage of common accessories, such as the floor stand, wall mount, and the all-new UB9 Universal Ceiling/Wall Bracket. The platform also allows for the addition of new features to benefit customers in the future.
