What is Laser Trackers?

Laser trackers are high-precision, portable coordinate measuring machines (CMMs) that use laser technology to accurately measure large objects or areas. They work by emitting a laser beam that reflects off a target (often a retroreflector) held against the object being measured. The tracker calculates the 3D coordinates of the target based on the angles and distance measured by the laser. They are commonly used in manufacturing, aerospace, automotive, and construction industries for tasks such as dimensional inspection, reverse engineering, and tool building.
