| Reference: How Laser Trackers Work
Reference information:
Many industries, including the automotive and aerospace industries, must precisely measure the three-dimensional features of large objects. An increasingly popular way to do this is with the laser tracker, a device first introduced in the late 1980s. As its name suggests, the laser tracker measures 3-D coordinates by tracking a laser beam to a retro-reflective target held in contact with the object of interest.

Measuring coordinates with the tracker
Trackers collect 3-D coordinate data, which can be “fit” by software to geometrical entities such as points, planes, spheres, or cylinders. Usually, the data are displayed within a local coordinate system tied to an object’s features. A flat surface on the object, for example, may represent the x-y plane. Alternatively, the local coordinate system may be established by features that represent points or lines. Points may be represented by tooling holes, into which target nests or tooling balls are inserted.
