What is a spherically mounted retroreflector?

Spherically Mounted Retroreflector or SMR is a sphere-shaped retroreflector covered with metal sphere. It can be mounted on an object to measure the distance and coordinates of the given point.

How accurate is a FARO laser tracker?

The FARO® Laser Tracker has a level that is accurate to +/- 2 arcseconds. There are 3600 arcseconds in one degree, or 1 arcsecond is 0.000278 degrees. Relatively speaking, that is approximately +/-0.002″ per 17′ from the Tracker head.

What is an SMR metrology?

MetrologyWorks provides a full line of Laser Tracker Spherically Mounted Retroreflector (SMR) Ball Probes. Every SMR is compatible with all OEM Laser Trackers including FARO, API, and Hexagon (Leica).

How does laser tracker work?

The operation of a laser tracker is easy to understand: It measures two angles and a distance. The tracker sends a laser beam to a retro-reflective target held against the object to be measured. Light reflected off the target retraces its path, re-entering the tracker at the same position it left.

How much does a FARO laser tracker cost?

The new Laser Scanner LS 420 is introductory priced at $64,900 and has a range of 20 meters. Like its long-range predecessors offering 35-meter and 70- meter ranges, the LS 420 is a high-speed, phase-shift based scanning device with +/-3mm accuracy in averaging mode.
