Abstract

A rotating laser device and method is disclosed. The laser device includes a laser unit, which generates a laser beam, a leveling device, which aligns the laser beam in a horizontal plane which is arranged perpendicular to the gravitational field of the earth, an inclination device, which inclines the laser beam about an axis of inclination in relation to the horizontal plane, a rotational unit which moves the laser unit at least partially about an axis of rotation at a rotational speed, and a measuring unit with which an angle of rotation of the laser unit about the axis of rotation can be determined such that a memory unit is provided for storing at least one angular position.
