To put it simply, a laser distance measuring device consists of 2 basic parts; an (laser) emitter and a receiver. The emitter part knows when it is transmitting pulses of laser light and is synchronized with the receiver. The laser light beam is travelling at the speed of light, so the distance travelled is calculated based on the AMOUNT TIME IT TAKES TO REACH THE RECEIVER, that its round trip time divided by 2.

How do you find the pitch of the screw using laser?

To find the pitch of a screw using a laser, first, ensure that the laser beam is aligned parallel to the axis of the screw. Then, measure the distance traveled by the laser beam along the screw's axis for one complete revolution. Divide this distance by the number of turns to determine the pitch of the screw.
