Abstract
Where should you put the targets when testing a laser tracker? Draft VDI/VDE 2617-10 has to specify positions that expose the errors a tracker actually has, without demanding a test that nobody can run. This team – NIST, joined by Ed Morse and by Robert Bridges of FARO – works through the choice of test positions for tracker evaluation and what it means for the standards then being developed, at the point where ASME B89.4.19 and the German draft were being weighed against each other across the industry.
