Two New Laser Measuring Tools by Johnson Level

The Johnson Level Laser Distance Measuring Tool 40-6004 and 40-6005 are both new products by Johnson Level. The 40-6004 has a range of 130 feet and the 40-6005 has a range of 230 feet. Both products are well made and solid, with features high-speed processors for taking measurements quickly, as well as high accuracy specs of 1/16" of at their max range. Powered by regular AA batteries, these two models are going to be a hit!

Being first with a winners attitude

I realize it seems almost everyone has an opinion these days. I'd like to mention something less of an opinion but more of what our Country needs right now. We need more people willing to accept responsibility for their own actions within the work place and within our governing bodies. A guy I used to play ball with in High School had the attitude we as Americans now need to exhibit. During an inning change he would run out onto the field and run right in front of the other teams pitcher that was coming off the field. He would be out onto the field crossing paths with the pitcher before the other team had even gotten off the field. He wanted to show that he and his team was first, and willing to give the effort to get out there first and win. This attitude of being first carried my friend all the way to the minor leagues which is quite an accomplishment. As American workers in the workplace I feel we can do the same thing. We can jump out there and admit to our employers and co-workers when we've made a mistake and do it before they can point it out and promote the idea that we're responsible and giving a little more effort than what most think is the requirement.

Surveying Tripod Education



The model shown is a DUAL clamp tripod……that happens to have 1 quick clamp at the top, and a screw clamp (wing nut) at the bottom. Very secure tripod since the user clamps BOTH top clamps and bottom clamps……legs wont loosen and drop your expensive instrument. I recommend a Dual-Clamp tripod for Total Stations, GPS Instruments, and Robotics Instruments since they all have some weight to them. Auto Levels and Transits and Lasers you'd be okay with a Single Clamp tripod. Some Dual Clamp tripods use screw clamps at top AND bottom. Some use Quick Clamps at top AND bottom. Some have a quick clamp AND screw clamp. This is pretty much the combinations I have seen. The screw clamp is most tight and secure. The quick clamp is a lever with a cam type of clamp that gets tight when you flip the lever.



Single Clamp tripods have clamps only at top , or only at bottom. Some have only screw clamp, some only have quick clamp.
 
Example of Various Types of Tripods

Single Clamp tripod with screw type only (only at top, nothing at bottom)

Dual Clamp with both quick and screw type

Single Clamp with quick type clamp ONLY  (for quick setups, lighter instruments)


 Then you have "Elevator Tripods" that have a crank handle that raise/lower the head
These are special application tripods, and some users are using them for rotary laser height adjustment.

Elevator with Quick Clamp

Presco Roll Flagging Best Flagging Available

Presco Roll Flagging is the best rolling flagging available due to how long it lasts. It outlasts other brands with how long the color holds before fading, it stretches well and ties well. You won't go wrong with Presco "Texas Roll Flagging". When I was an Instrument Man on a Surveying Crew I was taught to wrap wood stakes by using both hands wrapping in opposite directions, while stretching and over-lapping the flagging all at the same time. After tying a secure knot, some length is left over on the ends to make the flagged stake visible. The method makes for a very tight and durable flagged stake. The over-lapping and stretching avoids the flagging from loosening later and sliding down the stake. If done properly the flagging will be so tight it would need to be cut off of the stake using a knife or cutter of some type.

We added the Apache Machine Control Product Line

We added the Apache Machine Control Product Line to our selection of machine control products. If you dont know anything about machine control, in a nutshell it's controlling a machine! Funny right? It's used by heavy construction firms that operate heavy equipment such as bull dozers and trackhoes for site prep. Site preparation professionals use our machine control laser detectors to grade construction sites prior to construction. Rotary Laser levels are set up to beam across a construction site, while machine control detectors are mounted to the blades of dozers, and arms of trackhoes. The grading contractor can read the blueprints (aka construction documents) to see if there is cut or fill needed at any location of the construction site. With machine control detectors the dozer operator will know if s/he is above or below grade. Hence the term "Machine Control". While we only sell the 2D machine control products, there is a more advanced subject and system and that is of 3D where the sensors detect X Y , and Z coordinates for elevation. 3D systems are expensive and not normally needed except for specialized applications. 2D systems that we represent are commonly used on many construction sites all over the world.
