Description

The laser tracker is a device that allows to measure with high precision the dimensions of a large object through the reflection of a laser beam in retroreflective targets placed on the object to be measured. The advantages of the laser tracker are very diverse as it allows, through triangulation, to generate new reference points to completely surround any instrument or piece of large dimensions under measurement. The accuracy in its measurements is 20 microns + 1.1 microns / meter, and it is capable of accurately measuring points more than 70 meters apart.
