Rotating laser set 500 m with PLR300RG receiver, RC400 remote control and alkaline batteries - Leica Rugby 640

Transferring heights, aligning drywall track, screeding formwork and footings. All of it needs a reference plane that holds all day. The Leica Rugby 640 levels itself horizontally and vertically within ±5 degrees, holds ±1.5 mm at 30 m and covers a working range of 500 m in diameter in its standard configuration, rising to 600 m with an RE140 or RE160 receiver.

Key benefits

• 500 m working diameter, up to 600 m with an RE140 or RE160. One set-up serves a whole floor or building plot.
• Accuracy of ±1.5 mm at 30 m. That keeps screed, suspended ceilings and footing edges inside tolerance without a second check.
• IP67 protection. Dust and jetted water are part of the design brief, so the instrument stays on the slab instead of in the container.
• Over 60 hours of runtime with alkaline batteries. One charge or one set of cells carries through several shifts.
• Four rotation speeds and three scan angles. 0, 120, 300 and 600 rpm plus 10, 45 and 90 degree scan concentrate the beam energy exactly where the mark is set.
• RC400 remote control with a 200 m working range. Grade, rotation and scan width change from the measuring point, with no walk back to the tripod.

Applications

• Drywall, suspended ceilings and stud framing
• Screed, floor build-up and height transfer in fit-out work
• Formwork, footings and external works on the shell
• Aligning machinery, racking and door frames
• Grade work using the manual dual-axis slope

Compatibility

The PLR300RG handheld receiver works with red and green rotating lasers and replaces the Rod Eye 160 in this class. The rotating laser mounts on construction and elevating tripods via a 5/8 inch thread. The A150 holder takes LR20 alkaline cells, and the A600 Li-Ion pack can be used instead.
