The PR3, with its high accuracy, cost-saving and less dependency on labour, is the new laser technology for driving applications such as erecting, scaffolding and formwork.
Hilti has been the pioneer in bringing innovative products to meet the needs of the construction industry.The new rotating laser PR3 is an example of this innovation for driving applications such as erecting, scaffolding and formwork. Hilti PR3 rotating laser is a universal laser and can be used for levelling, aligning and sloping applications.
It is easy to use and results in higher accuracy. The PR 3 tool is perfect to use in outdoor conditions with features like self-levelling and digital laser receiver that reduces human error.
Automatic tool with reliable results
PR3 is a fully automatic self-levelling tool with an accuracy of 卤0.75 mm per 10 m. It has an automatic shock warning and cut-out when the level is knocked off by an impact or excessive vibration and this leads to reliable results. It has an operating range up to 300 m (diameter) with a laser receiver, which addresses coverage needs at large jobsites. The tool uses PULSE Power Technology and the Laser receiver has a digital measurement along with different visual and acoustic signals to show whether the laser plane is below zero position, on grade, or above the zero position marked in the housing. To meet the needs of continuous usage, the PR3 has a rechargeable Lithium-ion battery with an operating time of 40 hours after a full charge.
Perfect Fit
With the trends in the construction industry towards high quality construction, productivity of workforce and cost optimisation of material used, Hilti PR3 rotating laser is a perfect fit. It is an ideal tool for a wide range of applications:
- Innovative and cost-saving: Levelling of formwork and concrete pouring are one of the key applications of PR3. The innovative laser replaces the traditional method and the odolites used in the industry for these applications. The key advantages of PR 3 are higher accuracy and the ability of just one man to do the job, which directly results in cost saving for the contractor in terms of cement and labour. For example, if we consider a 10 storied residential job site of 5,000 m sq area per floor. The deviations during pouring of concrete for casting of slab are generally around 10 mm using traditional methods, which results in extra concreting of 50 cu m. This will result in wastage of 350 cement bags for 5,000 m sq area per floor. With the help of PR3, the deviations can be controlled to 卤0.75 mm. Hence, a contractor can save up to 350 cement bags per floor with an added advantage that only one labour is required to check the levels and cover large areas with a range of 300 m (diameter).
- Easy aligning of formwork: Aligning of formwork can be done easily at job site while replacing traditional plumb methods, PR3 ensures fast and quality work on site with less dependency on labour.
- Simple sloping application: Sloping applications such as slopes of ramps in parking lots can be easily done using a PR3.
- Convenient process: PR3 can also be used to check the verticality of the building, and with a diameter range of 300 m this is a convenient process.
Best performance for lifetime
Hilti PR3 rotating laser is a universal tool, which suffices various levelling, aligning and sloping applications on the job site. It is easy to use and offers high accuracy. Hilti also provides training to customers and operators to use the tool. In addition to this Hilti also provides calibration service for all Hilti measuring tools,which ensures that the tools provide best performance for their entire lifetime.
