ANGLE CALIBRATION OF ROBOTIC TOTAL STATIONS AND LASER TRACKERS

David Martin, Derek G. Chetwynd
Abstract:
This paper presents the recent development of two angle standards used for the calibration of high precision spherical measurement systems. These systems are a family of instruments comprising robotic total stations, and laser trackers. It discusses the Horizontal Circle Comparator and the Vertical Circle Comparator, the way they function and are used, their uncertainty, and results of instrument calibrations.
