LEICA GEOSYSTEMS INTRODUCES REVOLUTIONARY INDUSTRIAL MEASUREMENT LASER RADAR SYSTEM
Leica Geosystems today announced the introduction of a revolutionary new coherent laser radar precision measurement device for large industrial applications in the lab or on the plant floor.
The LR200 combines radar, laser and 3D software technologies in a single package, providing automated 3D non-contact measurements for a wide range of fixed and portable measurement solutions.
The LR200 is manufactured for Leica Geosystems by MetricVision, Inc., under an OEM agreement. Leica Geosystems has exclusive marketing rights in the North American aerospace industry.
The unique coherent laser radar system permits non-contact measurement of large objects in situ, without photogrammetry dots, retro reflectors or probes. It digitizes at speeds up to 1,000 points per second, and provides large-volume precision measurements with accuracy up to 100 micrometers at 10 meters. The versatile system can be used as a portable device, as part of a robotic system, or both. When used with the optional photosensitive dyes, it prints design layouts directly onto the working surface.
The LR200 is suitable for a wide range of applications, including precision part inspection, surface-based build processes, precision layout guidance, model digitization and in-process measurements.
"The introduction of this coherent laser radar system complements our product lines of laser trackers, industrial photogrammetry systems and precision theodolites, and adds new automated high-precision, non-contact measuring possibilities for large industrial objects," said Walter Mittelholzer, president of Leica Geosystems' Industrial Measurement Division, which is based in Unterentfelden, Switzerland.
