Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of laser measurement technology, and in particular to a target device for a three-dimensional laser tracker. Background Technology

[0002] As is well known, the prism is a key component of a total station for distance measurement, and the total station calculates distance by emitting a laser beam onto the prism and receiving the reflected signal; as shown in the attached image. Figure 1 As shown, prisms are generally fixed on a base, which can adjust the height and horizontal position of the prism to ensure optical alignment. High-precision reflective spheres, such as the Leica 1.5″RRR red-edge corner prism reflective sphere, are also used as supporting reflective devices for 3D laser trackers, mainly for industrial measurement and mold inspection. Because of their spherical structure, they cannot be centered and leveled. Although existing prism bases can be used for connection and support, they cannot solve the problem of aligning the reflective sphere. Utility Model Content
