A laser tracker is a portable coordinate measuring machine that uses a laser beam to accurately measure and inspect the features of an object in 3D space.

They have long been used as portable metrology tools in the aerospace, automotive and other large- scale manufacturing sectors. Applications for these systems include in-place inspection, metrology- assisted alignment and assembly, prototyping, aerospace tooling, automotive body-in-white measurements, reverse engineering, and part matching for oversized parts and assemblies. A laser tracker outperforms the competition in terms of accuracy, reliability and durability when performing large-scale measurement tasks. In fact, the most important advantage of a tracker is its portability.

The weight, size, length or specificity of some parts make them impossible to measure with a traditional coordinate measuring machine (CMM). Our Leica AT500 laser tracker with a measurement accuracy of ±15 µm + 6 µm/m has a measuring range of up to 160 meters and operates even in the most difficult conditions.
