Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0870886A1] The levelling system has supports to hold the required object at the selected level. It has a marking system comprising a detector which moves up each support until the correct level is found e.g. by laser levelling controls. At this level the detector marks the support mechanically. This enables fittings to be secured at the correct level. The supports can be suspended supports e.g. for a suspended ceiling, or vertical supports e.g. for a machine mounting. The marking system can be a simple cutter (31) for cutting off the support at a reference level. This enables a clip to be secured at the end of the support to provide the fitting.
