Choice of system
To make an informed decision and choice of coordinate measurement systems, a comprehensive examination was carried out as part of a diploma project. A number of laser tracker and photogrammetry 3D coordinate measurement systems were tested against reference objects, examined and evaluated. Leica’s laser tracker LTD500 emerged as the best measurement system according to a benefit analysis (VDI2212) and economic value (VDI2225).
