10x10x10mm Penta Prism for Rotating Laser Level

The Penta Prism is a five-sided prism made of optical glass that has two parallel faces and five angle faces. It is used to reflect a beam of light by 90 degrees without inverting or reverting it. The reflecting surface of the prism is coated with a thin layer of silver, aluminium or other reflective materials, which enhances its reflective properties. Penta prisms are commonly used in optical applications, such as surveying, measurement, and alignment of optical components. They are also used in binoculars and periscopes for image rotation. Due to the precision engineering and alignment required for its manufacture, penta prisms are relatively expensive and typically found in the optics and photonics industry.

The 10x10x10mm Penta Prism is a miniature prism used in rotating laser levels to ensure precise and accurate measurement and alignment when working on a construction site or manufacturing facility. It is made of high-quality optical glass and has five inclined surfaces that deflect and transmit the beam at 90-degree angles without changing the beam direction.

The compact size and precision engineering of the Penta Prism allow it to fit into tight spaces while maintaining its optical integrity. Its small, lightweight design makes it easy to handle and use without adding extra weight or bulk to the rotating laser level. The reflective surface of the prism is coated with a thin layer of aluminum or silver to ensure a high level of reflectivity and resistance to damage from external elements.

When using a rotating laser level with a penta prism, the laser beam is directed towards the reflective surface of the prism. The beam is reflected and deflected 90 degrees so that it travels in the horizontal plane. This function enables precise leveling and alignment of building materials such as floors and walls by measuring the level and determining the position of the surface to be treated.

In summary, the 10x10x10mm Penta Prism is a high-precision optical instrument designed to be used with a rotating laser level. Its compact size, durability, and excellent reflective properties make it an essential tool for construction professionals, surveyors, and engineers to obtain high-precision measurement and alignment results.
