Long Range Scanning and PCMM
Our contract measurement services include a variety of short-range (< 20 feet) and long-range (20 to 900 feet) technologies, which use both contact and non-contact processes.
With over a decade of experience in long range scanning technologies, we have the experience to determine the most affordable approach to your project and the expertise to do the job right. Our long-range tools include portable CMMs (PCMM) – both touch probes and laser trackers – and laser scanners.
Long-Range Highlights
Long range scanning and PCMM technologies give you the unrivaled ability to measure large or distant objects quickly and accurately.
For a smaller number of precise measurements, we offer two types of PCMMs. In ranges up to 33 feet, the optical tracker provides touch probe measurement with the freedom to move anywhere in the field of view (FOV). The other option, which allows measurements up to 525 feet away, is the laser tracker. This tracker targets a precise, spherical reflector.
For high-density measurement applications, we use laser scanning technologies that produce from 50,000 to over 1,000,000 measurements per second. The capture rate is just as impressive as the range. With the inventory of large-scale metrology tools that we carry, objects can be measured at ranges of 20 to 900 feet.
