Portable Coordinating Measurement Machines
Laser Trackers
A laser tracker is a high-precision measurement instrument used in the field of metrology. It is designed to accurately measure the position and orientation of objects or surfaces in three-dimensional space.
The process:
- The basic principal of a laser tracker involves the emission of a laser beam from the instrument’s tracker head towards a target.
- The target reflects the laser beam back to the tracker, allowing it to calculate the distance between the tracker and the target.
- By measuring the angles and distances to multiple targets, the laser tracker can determine the precise location and orientation of the targets in 3D space.
Laser trackers are known for their large measurement volume, long-range capabilities and high accuracy. They can measure points over distances ranging from a few meters to hundreds of meters, depending on the specific model. The accuracy of laser trackers is typically within a few micrometers or even smaller, making them suitable for applications that require precise dimensional measurements, alignment or inspection.
Laser trackers are often used for tasks such as:
- Large-scale part inspection and quality control
- Alignment and assembly of complex structures and machinery
- Calibration of machine tools and robotic systems
- Reverse engineering and digitization of physical objects
- Monitoring and verification of deformation or movement in structures
Overall, laser trackers are versatile tools that provide highly accurate and portable measurement capabilities in various industrial and engineering applications.
Arms
Articulating arms use rotary encoders in multiple axes and probes to capture points on an object’s surface.
Scanners
A 3D Scanner is a device that captures the geometry and appearance of physical objects to crate digital 3D models. It uses various technologies to collect data about the shape, texture and color of an object, and then processes that data to generate a digital representation of the object in three dimensions.
3D Scanners find applications in various industries, including manufacturing, engineering and architecture. They are used for reverse engineering, quality control, digital prototyping and many other purposes where accurate 3D models are required.
