Laser trackers and total stations are essential tools in various industrial applications for precise measurement and alignment. Laser trackers and total stations are highly portable coordinate measurement machines (CMM) that can be brought into your facility.
Laser Tracker Uses: Laser trackers provide highly accurate 3D positional measurements by tracking a reflective target down to plus/minus 0.001- inches tolerences. They are widely used in aerospace, automotive, and heavy machinery industries for tasks such as:
Aligning large components and assemblies
Verifying part geometries and dimensions
Conducting quality control inspections
Calibrating machine tools and robotic arms
Monitoring deformation and structural movement over time
Total Station Uses: They can be a more economical solution when measurement accuracy requirements are not as stringent. Total stations combine electronic theodolites with distance measurement technology resulting in 3D measurements tolerances in the plus/minus 0.040-inch range. In industry, they are primarily used for:
Construction site layout and staking
Surveying and mapping of industrial plants
Monitoring structural alignment during erection
Performing as-built surveys to validate project completion
