[0002] A tracker is a high-precision optical measurement device used to track the spatial position and attitude of a measurement object in real time. It is widely used in 3D scanning, reverse engineering, and industrial metrology. It calculates the spatial coordinates of the target point by emitting laser or visible light and receiving reflected signals, combined with photoelectric detection and algorithm analysis. In a tracking 3D scanner system, the tracker is a core component, and its installation method and adaptability to the working environment directly affect scanning efficiency and data accuracy.

[0003] In the prior art, the tracker of a tracking 3D scanner is usually fixed on a tripod.

Turning the handle 8 causes the lifting screw 7 to rotate, driving the two sets of drive blocks 6 to move relative to each other, causing the cross boom 4 to rotate and rise. Combined with the connection with the support ring 5, this drives the platform 2 to rise and fall. During this process, the guide rod 22 moves along the guide sleeve 21, improving the stability of the lifting.
