This laser scanner reference sphere is clearly the first choice for surveyors and users who use tacheometry to determine the positions of their reference points. You can easily and exactly determine the center of the reference sphere using a special laser scanning mini prism. Consequently, time and expense will be saved when it comes to determining the laser scanner reference spheres.

The spherical shape allows the highest possible scanning efficiency from various directions, and it has been proven to be the most effective laser scanner target. In addition, it is very flexible as the magnet can be detached from the reference sphere. Quality: Made in Germany.

The reference spheres have a diameter identically equal to that one of the manufacturer's original model (FARO Registration Spheres, Starter Kit) and are easily used for the detection of spheres ( for automatic registration) with the laser scanning analysis software FARO Scene.

Product attributes:

• diameter Ø 145mm (5.7 in)
• special adapter (female thread M8) for Mini Prism (Product No.: 50023)
• reference sphere is a hollow laser scanner sphere made of a plastic with a distinctive surface to achieve excellent reflective properties
