Photogrammetry Measurements of Passenger Entry Doors

Volume 10, Issue 2

Michael Lazar

All airplanes must be pressurized when altitudes exceed 12,500 ft (3,800 m). The typical cruise altitude of commercial airliners is between 29,000 ft and 40,000 ft (from 8,800 m to 12,200 m). At this altitude, interior cabins are pressurized for safety and...

Optimization of 3D Target Measurement Accuracy for the Leica ScanStation P20

Volume 10, Issue 2

Davide Bianculli, Cristopher D. Hernikl, David E. Humphries

Particle accelerator survey and alignment is typically performed by classical geodesy instruments like theodolites, total stations, optical and electronic levels, or more modern, portable coordinate measurement machine (CMM) arms and laser trackers. The...

A Single-Pixel Touchless Laser Tracker Probe

Volume 10, Issue 2

Joshua A. Gordon, David R. Novotny, Alexandra E. Curtin

In this article we will describe our development of a laser tracker probe, the Pixel Probe, that does not require physically contacting the object one is measuring and which has 3D spatial resolution of about 25 ?m (in X,Y,Z) in the current configuration....

Real-Time Path Correction of Industrial Robots with Direct End-Effector Feedback from a Laser Tracker

Volume 10, Issue 1

Santiago Droll

In contemporary industries there is a continuous and growing demand for very accurate robots. Yet robot vendors are limited in the achievable accuracy of their robots, as they have no means to provide direct end-effector feedback. Therefore, most...

Considerations for Design and In-Situ Calibration of High-Accuracy Length Artifacts for Field Testing of Laser Trackers

Volume 10, Issue 1

Aaron Hudlemeyer, Mark Meuret, Daniel Sawyer, Chris Blackburn, Vincent Lee, Craig Shakarji

Interim testing of laser trackers can be problematic due to the lack of high-precision, long-length artifacts that maintain their calibrated lengths during measurement. Gravitational loading, fixturing forces, and changes in the atmospheric conditions can...
