    摘要: Embodiments described herein include an optoelectronic position measuring device that may include a code carrier, which carries an optically detectable position code, a radiation source for emitting optical radiation onto the code carrier, and a detection element having a multiplicity of light-sensitive reception regions for receiving at least part of the optical radiation, as a result of which a scanning signal dependent on the position code can be generated and a position of the code carrier relative to the detection element can thus be detected, wherein the measurement components are arranged in a fixed spatial relationship with respect to one another on a carrier element, the code carrier is movable with one degree of freedom, in particular rotationally or along an axis, and the code carrier and the carrier element are arranged at a fixed spatial distance with respect to one another.

    摘要: Some embodiments of the invention may relate to an optical surveying device having a base for setting up the surveying device and a targeting unit, which is rotatable in relation to the base about two axes, and which defines a target axis or targeting a target object to be surveyed. In some embodiments, the targeting unit has a first beam path for emitting optical radiation in the direction of the target object to be surveyed and a second beam path for receiving a component of the optical radiation, which is reflected from the target object, by way of an optoelectronic receiving element. In some embodiments, at least one of the beam paths, has an optical element, which is implemented having an optically transparent, deformable volume body, and which has at least one interface toward a medium having an optical index of refraction deviating from the volume body.

    摘要: A method of automated spatial worksite referencing of a networked electronic measuring device with awareness of a rough location information of itself at a worksite location. The method includes querying a database for construction plan information about the rough location and its vicinity and about an actual work progress, computing an actual-state nominal spatial information at the rough location and its vicinity, automatically determining of a fine location of the networked electronic measuring device at the worksite location, by at least one iteration of: automatically determining a measurement point in the vicinity and measuring the measurement point using measurement functionality of the device, and then automatically assimilating the measurement point to the actual-state nominal spatial information and thereby determining the fine location information. When a desired level of accuracy of the determined fine location is not reached, performed another iteration with another additional measurement point is performed.

    摘要: A method for compensating a measurement error related to a measurement of a desired measuring point at an object to be measured with a coordinate measuring machine is disclosed. Some embodiments include a touch probe. Some embodiments include a method that includes providing a three dimensional reference body of known shape and dimension at a known position in the measuring volume of the coordinate measuring machine, defining multiple reference points to be measured at the reference body, touching the reference body with the touch probe in defined touching directions according to the multiple reference points and thereby determining positions for the multiple reference points, and deriving a lobing error information for the touch probe based on the known shape and dimensions of the reference body and the determined positions of the reference points, the lobing error information providing error values related to respective touching directions for the touch probe.
