The invention relates to a device and a method for on-line three-dimensional measuring of a laser radar of heavy forging in the measuring technical field, which comprises a two- dimensional laser radar, a servo-motor, a junction box, a rotary main shaft, a spacing and null point sensor, a bearing block which is provided with a bearing, a band brake apparatus, a back supporting stand of the laser radar, an L-shaped mounting bottom plate, a vertical mounting chassis, a movement-control card, a data collecting card, and a computer which is used for processing data. Firstly, the laser radar is positioned on the horizontal surface of a forging axial cord, then four surfaces of the forging are respectively scanned by the laser radar, the two-dimensional laser scanning radar is scanned in the surface which is vertical to an axial cord of the forging, the servo-motor drives the laser radar to rotate in the horizontal surface, thereby the three-dimensional scan of the forging is realized, finally, shape and parameter of the forging are gained through data process, and deviation of the shape of the forging is gained. The invention greatly increases accuracy and speed of identification, enlarges range of application, satisfies measuring requirement of a forging, and effectively increases measuring accuracy and efficiency of the forging.
