    Dot lasers work well for indicating a drill point and positioning workpieces on lathes, presses, and CNC machines. Those with multiple dot sizes are suitable for both long-range positioning and close-up precision tasks. Larger dot sizes are often used to install pipe over long distances. Twist the head to adjust the dot size.
    Red Laser—Red lasers are best viewed indoors and at short distances.
    Green Laser—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.
    5V DC—To power 5V DC lasers from an outlet, fit the barrel connector into an adapter. 5V lasers can also be used with a power distribution block, which lets you power up to seven lasers from an outlet using a single adapter.
    8V DC—To power 8V DC lasers from an outlet, fit the barrel connector into an adapter.
    DC—DC lasers can be hardwired to programmable logic controllers (PLCs) and timer relays, so you can automate when they turn on and off.
    Barrel Connection— For lasers with a barrel connector, you must cut off the connector to hardwire them.

    Crosshair line lasers project a central reference point, as well as vertical and horizontal lines, so you don't have to reposition the laser when aligning in multiple directions. They are commonly used to position shafts, bearings, and couplings.

    Green Laser—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.

    Even with their built-in mount, these lasers only take up as much space as two dice. Use them to project a bright, vivid reference point to align tools or guide machine vision cameras and robots. Since you can adjust their dot size, these lasers work well for both long-range positioning and close-up precision tasks. Larger dot sizes are often used to install pipe over long distances. The dot is red, so it’s best viewed indoors.

    Help drivers center their trucks as they dock, no matter the weather or time of day. They shoot parallel bright green lines that can be seen up to 150 ft. away, even in direct sunlight. Where painted lines are less visible from snow, rain, fallen leaves, or darkness, these lasers stay visible. The included steel enclosures protect the laser from dust, debris, and the elements. The laser shoots through a hole in the side of the enclosure. You can also use these lasers indoors.
    DC—DC lasers can be connected to a controller, such as a programmable logic controller (PLC), to automate when the lasers turn on and off.

    High-Temperature Alignment Lasers

    Image of ProductInUse. Front orientation. Contains Annotated. Alignment Lasers. High-Temperature Alignment 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.
