From it you created a thriving forum with interesting discussions relating to trade and Bosch Blue. The automatic switch-off time is 5 minutes for both measuring devices.The BOB community in UK was launched more than ten years ago. To save energy, both devices switch off automatically. So you can use the Bosch GLM 50 C Determine angle. With the Bosch GLM 40 there is no inclination measurement, which you have with the Bosch GLM 50 C. With the Bosch GLM 40 there are 10 memory locations. The Bosch GLM 50 C has 30 memory locations for measured values. There is a difference in the number of storage locations. With the Bosch GLM 40 this function is available to you, which saves you time. The Bosch GLM 40 has no space function to calculate the volume (m³) directly at the measuring device. The area function allows you to calculate areas based on your measurements directly on the device. With the Bosch GLM 40 you have to do without this function. In this comparison only the Bosch GLM 50 C offers you an area function. This includes area function, room function and summation. Most devices offer even more than simple distance measurement. With steps of 0,50 mm, the Bosch GLM 50 C offers the possibility of a better measurement.
The smallest step at the Bosch GLM 40 is 1,00 mm. Of course this also affects the accuracy of the measurement. Good rangefinders can output smaller steps in the measurement. In bad weather conditions, the measuring accuracy can be worse, just like in the measuring range. Therefore, there is no difference at this point in the comparison. The differences here are in the range of a few millimeters.Īt the point of measurement accuracy both devices perform equally well with a maximum deviation of +/- 1,50 mm. The better a laser rangefinder is, the more accurate the results. Under bad conditions the possible measuring range is smaller. In home use, this usually plays hardly any role. This is interesting for use on construction sites.
Poor weather conditions can affect the measuring range. The indicated measuring range usually refers to ideal conditions. The Bosch GLM 50 C can determine a minimum distance of 50,00 m for the measuring range. The minimum distance is the Bosch GLM 40 at 40,00 m. However, if you do not need such a large measuring range, you can choose the smaller Bosch GLM 40 with less distance. With 40,00 m the GLM 40 from Bosch has a smaller measuring range than the Bosch GLM 50 C with 50,00 m. The number describes the maximum distance the device can measure.įor most devices the maximum distance can be derived from the name.
The measuring range of a laser rangefinder is extremely important. Let's take the two laser distance meters GLM 40 and GLM 50 C the Make Bosch in the comparison and look at the differences.
