An automatic level, leveling instrument or automatic level is a
optical instrument used to establish or verify points in the same plane

The bubble level (also known as the spirit level) is a measuring instrument

The widespread use of the bubble level extends to countless applications such as
["carpentry","masonry","blacksmithing","plumbing","metallurgy","machinery construction"]
industrial tools and precision instruments, surveying, architecture, decoration,
photography, videography and even various household tasks. The bubble level also

Today there is a great variety and complexity of bubble levels. Apart from the most
simple ones that consist of only a horizontal tube with two markings, are available
levels with the highest amount and arrangement of pipes, as seen in the figure below.
There are also levels that offer digital reading of the inclination and others that project.

determinations with great precision.

Laser Electronic Level


Although this term is frequently applied to the sophisticatedtopographical levels,
There are also levels with the classic designs we have seen so far, of 25
and 60 cm in length, but that not only provide electronic reading, but also some
models are capable of projecting a laser beam.

Manyelectronic levels pethey also measure angles and inclinations.


They have the inclinometer function (through an integrated tilt sensor),
level and angle gauge, with the accuracy provided by its electronic operation and
digital, which offers measurements in degrees, %, or mm/m, which can be displayed in a
screen.

Bubble laser electronic levels that also have a laser can have the
traditional design or the post-level one, and the laser projection is extremely useful for
various uses
