Aligning Lasers
Project a bright, vivid reference point to hang light fixtures, align workbenches, or even guide your machine vision camera. These lasers are small enough to fit on virtually any machine.
Dot lasers work well for indicating a drill point and positioning workpieces on lathes, presses, and CNC machines. Green lasers are ten times brighter than red lasers. They’re easy to view, even in brightly lit rooms, outdoor locations, and over long distances.
DC lasers can be hardwired to programmable logic controllers (PLCs) and timer relays, so you can automate when they turn on and off. For lasers with a barrel connector, you must cut off the connector to hardwire them. To power 5V and 8V DC lasers from an outlet, fit the barrel connector into an adapter (sold separately). Adjustable-angle magnetic mounts (sold separately) tilt 80°, so you can aim your laser without shifting the entire mount. No need to drill holes in your machinery since they stick to metal surfaces.

Dust- and Moisture-Resistant Aligning Lasers
IP67 rated, these lasers have a lens that's sealed to keep out dust and water. They're often used to create reference points for machine vision cameras and robots. Line lasers work well for marking cut lines for saws, aligning rollers on conveyor belts, and checking that the edge on a machined part is straight. They project a line that is even and bright along the entire length.
Red lasers are best viewed indoors and at short distances. Green lasers are ten times brighter than red lasers. They’re easy to view, even in brightly lit rooms, outdoor locations, and over long distances.
Hardwire DC lasers to programmable logic controllers (PLCs) and timer relays to automate when they turn on and off. For 5V and 8V DC lasers, you'll need to cut off their plug to hardwire them. Their plug fits into an AC adapter (sold separately).
Tilt mounts (sold separately) move up to 34°, so you can make minor adjustments to the laser angle without repositioning the entire mount.

High-Temperature Aligning Lasers
These lasers project a bright, accurate reference point while resisting heat from furnaces, kilns, and other machinery that runs hot. Use them for everything from aligning bores, rods, and other components in engines to marking workpieces for spot welds. The glass lens won’t warp or melt like a plastic one might, so the dot stays precise and clear.
Lasers project a red light that is best viewed indoors. They aren't adjustable, so the dot will get bigger as you move the laser further away. These lasers have a plug that fits into an included AC adapter, but they can also be hardwired by cutting off the plug. Hardwire them to programmable logic controllers (PLCs) and timer relays to automate when they turn on and off.
Tilt mounts (sold separately) move up to 34°, so you can make minor adjustments to the laser angle without repositioning the entire mount.
