*1 145mm is a standard diameter that is supported by all customary laser scanners (e g. FARO Focus3D).
*2 The magnet base allows easy attachment of the sphere to magnetic surfaces. For permanent marking of the sphere’s positions, measurement point stickers, measuring point disks and precision measuring point disks are a great solution. Marking the positions is especially advantageous for scanning at a subsequent date and for repeated measurements.
*3 Laser scanner reference points can be marked out permanently, for instance on fixed M8 thread rods/bolts. Reference spheres with such a characteristic have a female thread and, thus, can be screwed onto the reference points.
*4 The integrated ball screw as well as the precise fabrication allow the detection of the reference sphere by use of our mini prism.
*5 By means of special adapters, you can attach the spheres to your standard accessories (e. g. surveying tripods, tachymeter rods etc.) or to unusual surfaces (e. g. window panes).
*6 All reference spheres are approved for the working area (ambient temperature) of scanners. This temperature usually amounts to 0 to 50 degrees.
*7 When the sphere is used at very cold ambient temperatures (< -5 degrees), the painted surface might be damaged.
*8 As of September 2017. We reserve the right to modify our prices at any time.
