  1. Dimensional Metrology Program Steve Phillips Program Manager MEL Metrology Support for Laser Trackers and Scanners • Supports Industrial Innovation • High leverage through ANSI / ISO standards • Provides unique calibration facility to industry

  2. Z z R Y x Vertical Axis f y X q Horizontal Axis Laser Trackers:Coordinate Measuring Machines Using Spherical Coordinates

  3. Laser Trackers:Optics Link the Workpiece & CMM • Allows large measurement volumes • Bring the tracker to the workpiece • Lower capital costs than large conventional CMMs • Factory can be reconfigured

  4. Background • MEL invents the laser tracker in 1987 • Commercial trackers available since 1988 but are slow and difficult • By 2000, advances in optoelectronics allow LIDAR type range sensor greatly expanding tracker use • Trackers rapidly displace “total stations” in large scale manufacturing • 2000 DMP starts laser tracker standards effort and begins metrology infrastructure development

  5. +MPE MPE Background • 2006 DMP lead effort completes the world’s first laser tracker standard • 2007 DMP provides first distance ranging test for laser tracers Data showing stability better than 110-7 at 61m Test result of customer laser ranging system passing the manufacturer’s specification

  6. Recent Developments 2009: DMP provides volumetric performance calibrations per B89.4.19

  7. Recent Developments 2009: Calibration Results have yielded significant improvements in two major US laser tracker manufacturers Volumetric errors of a tracker per B89.4.19 First principles analysis describes tracker errors in detail Parametric error analysis of a tracker

  8. Recent Developments 2009: Noncooperative target range for laser scanners supplies insights for US manufacturers Photon scanner Noncooperative target range FARO R&D staff testing Photon scanner

  9. Recent Developments 2010: US lead effort to develop ISO standard for laser tracker systems 2010: 1D high accuracy artifact calibration instrument to be completed providing practical access to calibrated artifacts for laser trackers
