WSP Global Inc. (“WSP”) has
unveiled its new brand identity,
represented by the introduction of
a new logo that marks its growth

angles, and finding solutions that
break
paradigms.

Bosch has introduced the concept of ‘smart’ levelling with its launch of the GCL 2-50 C
(red laser technology) and GCL 2-50 CG Professional (green laser technology), which allows
hands-free remote control via smartphone, in addition to a motorised mount for precise
positioning of the laser lines.
An innovative Bluetooth connection means that these combi lasers can be controlled
not only hands-free via a smartphone, but also remotely over longer distances. In addition,
both combi lasers can be combined with the RM3 Professional multifunctional mount. This
motorised mount enables the laser lines to be precisely positioned.
The GCL 2-50 CG Professional allows for supreme visibility, as well as an array of
‘smart’ functions to enhance its connectivity. Features include horizontal and vertical
laser lines, and two centred plumb points with optimal visibility. Precise positioning of the
laser lines around the plumb points is possible via motorised positioning with the optional
RM3 Professional, using an app or remote control, or manual positioning with the RC2
Professional infrared remote control. This has the option of three available speeds, namely
normal, fast, and step-by-step.
While traditional green laser products used colour-conversion technology to generate
the green laser beam from a red laser diode, Bosch’s latest GCL line-up boasts a genuine
green laser diode, which not only increases effectiveness and robustness, but offers the
best visibility possible.
The high visibility of the green horizontal and vertical laser lines ensures a working range
of 20m without a receiver, while a working range of 50m is possible with the optional LR6
or LR7 Professional receiver. A pendulum lock ensures safe transport, while there is an
added benefit of a dual power source in the form of either 12 V-LI-ion battery or standard
alkaline batteries. www.bosch.co.za
