Precaster Enterprises Co., Ltd.

Laser distance meters, laser rangefinders, laser scanning modules, versatile measuring engines

Established in 1977, Precaster Enterprises Co., Ltd. started as a surveying solution provider engaged in selling, consulting, training, maintenance and manufacturing operations. The company later established an R&D department in 1992 to further sharpen competitive edge by developing better products that provide user-friendlier functionality. Some of the innovative technologies that it has developed for laser levels and laser distance meter have been patented.

The company began developing laser distance meters in 2002 and achieved success with the launch of its first model a few years later. In 2010 it made another big advancement in distance measuring technology, a shutter-based, second-generation measuring engine, further securing its leading status in the industry in Taiwan.

In 2012, Precaster made another major advancement in laser measuring technology: a fully optical-based measuring engine that combines a specially-made laser diode without any internal moving parts. To accelerate distance measuring, the company also launched a dual-wavelength measuring engine with higher stability in 2013 to replace the shutter-based technology. The company is now presenting the latest dual beam system, which will be applied to all its product line by the end of 2014.

Precaster says that its handheld laser distance meters are designed for the hardware, electronic instrument and high-tech sectors. The company offers several models in this product segment: the CA700 series, CA600 series, HP30, CP30 and TIO30—the lasertape. The former two models feature +/- 1.5mm tolerance and easy user-friendly operation design that allows users to get all the results in a second. They are also IP54 rated and backlit to allow easy reading in dark or weak light condition.
