UNE-EN ISO 10360-10:2023

This document specifies the acceptance tests for verifying the performance of a laser tracker by measuring calibrated test lengths, according to the specifications of the manufacturer. It also specifies the reverification tests that enable the user to periodically reverify the performance of the laser tracker. The acceptance and reverification tests given in this document are applicable only to laser trackers utilizing a retro-reflector as a probing system. Laser trackers that use interferometry (IFM), absolute distance meter (ADM) measurement, or both can be verified using this document. This standard can also be used to specify and verify the relevant performance tests of other spherical coordinate measurement systems that use cooperative targets, such as laser radar systems.

NOTE Systems, such as laser radar systems, which do not track the target, will not be tested for probing performance.

This document does not explicitly apply to measuring systems that do not use a spherical coordinate system (i.e. two orthogonal rotary axes having a common intersection point with a third linear axis in the radial direction) however, the parties may apply this part of 10360 to such systems by mutual agreement.

This document specifies:

performance requirements that can be assigned by the manufacturer or the user of the laser tracker,

the manner of execution of the acceptance and reverification tests to demonstrate the stated requirements,

rules for proving conformance, and

applications for which the acceptance and reverification tests can be used.
