Abstract
A method for applying a position marking for a working position to a substrate, for example a wall, a ceiling, a floor or the like, at a marking position assigned to it, comprising: a. unsystematically or systematically moving a portable marking system over a marking area of the substrate; b. determining at least one position of the marking system; c. marking at the determined position of the marking system, provided that the determined position coincides with the marking position or at least coincides with the marking position to a predefined or predefinable degree of accuracy. The invention also relates to a marking system.
Claims18
A method for applying a position marking for a working position to a substrate in a building or a building element at a marking position assigned to the substrate, comprising:
- a. projecting a line of light onto the substrate in the building or the building element to define a marking area;
- b. unsystematically or systematically moving a portable marking system comprising an optical receiver over a marking area of the substrate;
- c. determining at least one position of the portable marking system by whether the optical receiver, which is a line sensor with multiple light sensitive pixels, of the portable marking system detects light from the projected line of light
- d. marking at the at least one determined position of the portable marking system, using a marking unit with an arrangement of multiple markers, provided that the optical receiver detects light at the projected line of light at the at least one determined position, wherein one or more of the multiple light sensitive pixels is respectively assigned a suitably positioned marker, which is activated as soon as the respective pixel detects light from the line of line.
A portable marking system for marking a position marking on a substrate in a building or a building element at a marking position assigned to the position marking, comprising
- a marking unit with an arrangement of multiple markers;
- a position determining system for detecting a position of the marking system comprising an optical receiver which is a line sensor with multiple light sensitive pixels to detect a position of the marking system by checking whether the optical receiver detects light from a projected line of light;
- and
- a control unit which is set up to mark a position marking or at least part of the position marking on the substrate at least once by the marking unit if the marking system is at the marking position or is in a measuring range corresponding to a predefined or predefinable degree of accuracy around the marking position, and not to mark a marking if the marking system is outside the measuring range, wherein the marking unit corresponds to the arrangement of multiple markers and by one or more of the pixels respectively assigned a suitably positioned marker, which is activated as soon as the respective pixel detects light from the line of light.
