The LN-50 laser is the latest addition to Topcon’s LN layout navigator family of instruments. It is intended to be an affordable and easy-to-use solution for digital layout.

The LN-50 has a 50-metre range, as compared to the longer-range, full-featured LN-150, and is designed specifically for homebuilders, concrete contractors, and trades – regardless of digital technology experience – to achieve high-speed precision in their measuring and layout work while mitigating the risk of errors.

The LN family uses a one-button self-levelling setup that is easy to use for contractors transitioning from traditional layout and measuring methods to digital approaches, improving accuracy and productivity.

The LN-50 works exclusively with Topcon Digital Layout building construction software. The software is compatible with CAD and BIM software setups and can be used with the Point Manager plug-in for Autodesk Revit or AutoCAD. Digital Layout software controls the 3D laser and makes it easier to lay out challenging spots such as building corners more efficiently.

“The portfolio embodies our commitment to democratizing technology — simplifying and improving the process of transitioning to digital layout in the building construction sector in a cost-effective package,” said Ray Kerwin, director, global product planning at Topcon. “It has a short learning curve, and is a one-person operation, which is particularly helpful during labour shortages. By providing enhanced productivity, accuracy and quality in an easily accessible system, it reinforces the push toward providing intuitive innovations for both the existing and incoming generations of trade professionals.”
