Azimuth: The Ultimate Multi-Tool for Precision Measurements

Simplifying Projects with the Azimuth Angle Laser Measurer

One tool to rule them all - Azimuth combines the functionalities of a digital level, line laser, cross laser, Laser Distance Measurer (LDM), angle finder, and navigation system. With its sleek design and easy-to-use interface, Azimuth is the go-to tool for any project that requires precision measurements.

When it comes to efficiency and productivity, simplifying your tool set is key. That's exactly what the designers at Plott had in mind when they created Azimuth. This innovative multi-tool can replace multiple costly and space-consuming tools, making it a game-changer for professionals and DIY enthusiasts alike.

Azimuth's standout feature is its ability to measure angles and project those measurements onto the object itself. Whether you're cutting crown molding or placing cabinets, Azimuth can guide you with pinpoint accuracy. With two laser distance measurers, two point lasers, two line lasers, and an angle finder, this tool is a powerhouse that can handle any task.

Measuring with Azimuth is a breeze. Simply use it like any other level and switch to the desired function depending on your needs. The adjustable arm allows you to record specific angle measurements and project them using line lasers. With a line laser on each arm, Azimuth can create cross lasers for angles up to 180º. The multi-directional LDMs enable you to record both height and length simultaneously and provide you with the total area measurement of the surface.

Plott's research focused on simplifying the tool set and maximizing efficiency. By combining multiple tools into one, Azimuth eliminates the need to carry around a heavy toolbox to every job site. With its easy-to-read 12-inch screen, all measurements and data are presented clearly, ensuring a smooth and direct workflow.

Creating Azimuth came with its fair share of challenges. The design team aimed to incorporate all the necessary functions into a single tool while maintaining user-friendliness. The high-contrast 12-inch display and simple 4-button interface make switching between modes and taking measurements a breeze.

Azimuth's sleek aluminum chassis not only adds durability but also gives it a modern and sophisticated look. Its compact dimensions of 6.35 cm in height, 40.46 cm in length, and 5.08 cm in width make it easy to handle and store.

Recognized for its ingenuity and resourcefulness, Azimuth was awarded the Bronze A' Design Award in the Hardware, Power, and Hand Tools Design category in 2019. This prestigious award acknowledges designs that excel in incorporating best practices in art, science, design, and technology, contributing to quality of life improvements.

With Azimuth, Plott has revolutionized the way we approach measurements in art, architecture, design, and construction. This multi-tool is a testament to the power of innovation and the endless possibilities it brings to our lives.
