2. Coordinate-measuring machine - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coordinate-measuring_machine

   A coordinate-measuring machine (CMM) is a device that measures the geometry of physical objects by sensing discrete points on the surface of the object with a probe. Various types of probes are used in CMMs, the most common being mechanical and laser sensors, though optical and white light sensors do exist.

   VIEW Engineering's Logo, circa 1976 VIEW Engineering's Logo, circa 1996. While working as a physicist at Hughes Aircraft Company, Dick Hubach recognized a need for automated dimensional measurement systems, when he discovered that the cost to verify the correct manufacture of some aerospace components actually exceeded the cost to manufacture those components.

4. Laser beam profiler - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laser_beam_profiler

   Laser machine shops care a lot about the M 2 parameter of their lasers because the beams will focus to an area that is M 4 times larger than that of a Gaussian beam with the same wavelength and D4σ waist width before focusing; in other words, the fluence scales as 1/M 4. The rule of thumb is that M 2 increases as the laser power increases.

5. Lidar - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lidar

   Lidar (/ ˈ l aɪ d ɑːr /, also LIDAR, an acronym of "light detection and ranging" [1] or "laser imaging, detection, and ranging" [2]) is a method for determining ranges by targeting an object or a surface with a laser and measuring the time for the reflected light to return to the receiver.

6. Laser scanning - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laser_scanning

   Laser scanning is the controlled deflection of laser beams, visible or invisible. [1] Scanned laser beams are used in some 3-D printers, in rapid prototyping, in machines for material processing, in laser engraving machines, in ophthalmological laser systems for the treatment of presbyopia, in confocal microscopy, in laser printers, in laser shows, in Laser TV, and in barcode scanners.

7. Laser tracker - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laser_tracker

   The accuracy of laser trackers is of the order of 0.025 mm over a distance of several metres. [1] Some examples of laser tracker applications are to align aircraft wings during assembly [2] and to align large machine tools. [3] To take measurements the technician first sets up a laser tracker on a tripod with an unobstructed view of the object ...
