Leica launches budget priced grade laser

Now Leica’s Rugby 260SG, addresses that need by featuring up to 10% digital grade, in a semi-automatic mode. As well, new 270SG and 280DG models are fully automatic for precision grades.
The series of mid-range models can be used for flat, single or dual grade, and even interior applications (Rugby 280DG).
Designed for the general construction market, the range offers contractors a real choice of features and functionalities for virtually any application from simple flatwork, to complex dual grades and vertical control. Each is equipped with a large LCD display, an easy-to-use key pad and a two-year knockdown warranty.
“Choice is what it is all about today. Having the right product for the job is crucial for contractors to maximise their ROI,” says Dan Dykhuis, US director of construction product marketing for Leica Geosystems. “Contractors do not want to settle for a product that doesn’t quite meet their needs, nor do they want to spend extra money for features they will never use.”
The 260SG combines all the features of Rugby flat plane lasers, plus up to 10% semi-automatic single grade with digital readout, making it perfect for most general construction applications. It features a rugged housing, large LCD with intuitive feature icons for ease of use, and a visible red beam laser with a working range of up to 600m in diameter.
The 270SG is based on the same platform as the 260SG, but also features fully automatic leveling even at grade, head speed control, beam masking, and an extended working range of up to 700m in diameter.
The 280DG is a versatile multipurpose laser with fully automatic, dual grade capability. Its additional features include a bright red beam, plumb beam, scan mode, horizontal and vertical self-leveling, and dual grade capability up to 15% in both axes. A full function two-way remote control is standard.
