Laser Tracking Devices

Laser trackers are instruments that accurately measure large objects by determining the positions of optical targets held against those objects. Some examples of laser tracker applications are to align aircraft wings during assembly and to align large machine tools. To take measurements, a laser tracker is set up on a tripod with an unobstructed view of the object to be measured. The Retroreflective target from the laser tracker is removed and carried to the object to be measured. Measurements are then collected using different kinds of Software to plot the points and thus calculate the deviation from the correct position.

For peak performance of your laser tracker, an annual calibration, certification or performance check for your laser tracker is critical.  As with any mechanical-electrical sensor, minor adjustment, updated firmware, and some tender loving care are always warranted. API calibration labs are located globally and are certified by the factory. Typically, calibrations are completed and returned to the customer within 10 – 15 days.  We also offer an expedited service or discounted rental equipment if you need a replacement system. As an option, you can purchase an extended warranty that includes a loaner laser tracker.
