Laser Tracker LTD500

Leica laser tracker LTD500

Laser Tracker Leica-Geosystems’ LTD500 is a portable co-ordinate measuring machine (CMM) for situations where the item to be measured can be touched or a reflector attached to it. The "Tracker" is leading edge technology for applications where the item to be measured is too large for a conventional co-ordinate measuring machine or is not able to be taken to a CMM. Axyz software provides many of the functions common to CMM software including: GD&T (geometric dimensioning and tolerancing), inspection and CAD to part comparison.

LTD500 is a very high accuracy tracking 3D laser interferometer and high precision absolute distance meter. Hand held spherical reflectors are used to measure to individual points or to scan whole surfaces. The LTD500 is ideal for the rapid calibration of robots, machine tools, assembly jigs and fabricated components. Reproducibility of a co-ordinate is ±0.005mm/m (2 s ) within a 35 metre sphere from a single instrument position. By measuring to reference targets multiple instrument locations can be accurately related to enable large or complex items to be completely measured.

The high speed capabilities of the system mean that 1000 points per second can be recorded at a tracking speed of up to 4 metres per second.

This system has been developed and well proven in the aircraft industry over many years.

Specification

· Accuracy - When fully calibrated this instrument will measure three dimensional coordinates to 0.005mm/m. While tracking the three dimensional co-ordinate accuracy is 0.01mm/m.

· Speed - Up to 1000 points per second can be recorded to the target moving at no more than 6m/sec.

· Target - Reflectors all in spherical housings

  1. Corner cube reflector in 1.5inch.
  2. Cat eye
  3. 1/2inch tooling balls

· Determination of level - the tracker co-ordinate system can be leveled to gravity using our precision tilt sensor.
