1 Leica Laser Tracker Want the Whole Picture? Go Portable CMM. - when it has to be right

2 Want the Whole Picture? Go Portable CMM. Often imitated but never surpassed, Leica Geosystems has been at the forefront of laser tracking technology for more than 15 years. Our laser trackers have enabled companies around the world to deliver innovative products, achieve unheard-of tolerances, substantially lower manufacturing costs and increase productivity well beyond their expectations. We have helped usher in a new era in automotive, aerospace and general precision industries in which the engineering prowess is the only limit. Rather than catch up with the needs of our customers, we have actively involved them in the design process, responding with cutting-edge engineering that has tremendously improved our customers' innovation processes. But our laser trackers are just the beginning. Thanks to Leica Geosystems' exclusive Local Positioning Technology (LPT), our laser tracker-based Universal CMM is the world's first Coordinate Measuring System that can probe like a CMM, scan like a laser scanner, track like a laser tracker in one and the same system. At the same time, it is the only system that can perform high-speed tracking of location and orientation of any object in space (6DOF position, pitch, roll and yaw).

3 Together with the Leica T-Probe, our revolutionary Walk-Around solution for arm- and wireless probing, and the Leica T-Scan, our revolutionary high-speed hand scanner, Leica Laser Trackers comprise the backbone of our Universal CMM solution. Leica T-Probe Leica Geosystems' intelligent, revolutionary Walk- Around solution for effortless probing and inspection of hidden points without being constrained by articulated arms. Now in its second-generation, Leica T-Probe pushes the concept of Walk- Around probing even further, with 25 percent more range for automotive applications with select Leica T-Probe systems. Leica T-Scan Our one-of-a-kind hand-held scanner for highspeed digitization without the need for powdering or photogrammetric targets from clay and foam to textiles and metallic surfaces. A Tracker is Just the Beginning. From the largest commercial aircraft in the world to the space shuttle and everything inbetween, from passenger vehicles to Formula 1 race cars our customer list reads like Who's Who of the world's most eminent and enterprising companies. Yet at the same time we have not neglected small and mid-sized businesses that have long recognized the intrinsic value of relying on dependable laser tracking solutions with short return-on-investment times. In short, no matter your business' size, no matter your measurement needs, we've got you covered. Most importantly, our customers have learned to expect superb service and support with the level of competence and commitment that are second to none. The Leica Geosystems ownership experience is a benchmark everyone else is measured against. Our customers say... "Using the Leica Geosystems Laser Tracker has resulted in significant savings in terms of work-hours and has positively impacted several mission schedules." Terri Alexander, Senior Engineer/Scientist, Boeing Kennedy Space Center

4 The Most Complete Tracker-Based CMM Around, Period. Further building on the success of our Leica Laser Trackers, we have expanded our product range, customizing individual measurement ranges according to our customers' needs. No matter what your specific requirements measuring with a reflector with a range of up to 6m, 9m or 40m (20ft, 30ft or 131ft) we have a laser tracker that's perfect for the task at hand. More accurate than ever before, our full line of laser trackers covers the entire span of possible applications and measurement volume requirements, from simple quality assurance in part assembly in small and medium volumes and fully automated inspection operations, all the way to part inspection and sophisticated tooling operations in the automotive and aerospace industries. With more than 1,600 installations over the years, we have become a one-stop solution provider for all your metrology needs. Leica Laser Tracker Features and Benefits Non-heat emitting tracker sensor head that creates no measurement errors from vibration during high-speed movements or from temperature gradients created by the sensor head Laser tube located away from the rotating head, with straight optical laser beam path for stable, predictable operation Measurement uncertainty of a coordinate: 10µm + 5µm/m Robust housing with active temperature control that protects optics and electronics from external temperature deviations and dust; Leica Laser Tracker requires significantly less calibration than comparable solutions Precision high-speed positioning sensor provides Leica Geosystems with the fastest tracking technology worldwide Built-in precision encoders for horizontal and vertical angle measurements Measurement rate of 3,000 points per second Automated beam lock on World's most accurate Absolute Distance Meter (ADM) with 25 µmm within 40m (131ft) Easy-to-transport heavy-duty tripod and Leica stand ensure stable conditions for all measurement modes Leica Laser Tracker is the only tracker that provides increased automation options and fully reliable operation through a video camera Laser Tracker controller with - Real-time interface for environmental sensor - Precision synchronization interface - On-board software for field checks and calibration - Open system interface for customized interfacing with Metrology-assisted assembly software and any other application programs LT640 LTD640 LTD706 LTD709 LTD840 ADM (Absolute Distance Meter) n/a Max measurement range 40m (131ft) 40m (131ft) 6m (20ft) 25m (82ft) 40m (131ft) Expandability with Leica T-Probe/T-Scan n/a n/a Max measurement range with T-Probe n/a n/a 6m (19ft) 9m (30ft) 15m (45ft)

6 Leica T-Probe & Leica T-Scan User-friendly, fast and accurate, the new Universal CMM allows you to assemble aircraft faster and inspect motor parts more efficiently while minimizing digitization times and costs. So if you want the whole picture, go portable CMM. A tracker is just the beginning. Leica T-Probe: The First LPT-Based Walk- Around CMM Small, light, user-friendly and more accurate than any other hand-held probe in the world, the Leica T-Probe gives you more than 6 degrees of freedom: It gives you the right way to measure. Leica T-Probe is a Walk-Around CMM solution for arm- and wireless probing, at least 5 times smaller and 30 times lighter than an articulated arm. This ultra-light and extremely flexible hand probe enables small and large-volume measurements with setup time reduction of up to 50 percent. Leica T-Probe covers measurement volumes of up to 30m (98ft). Leica T-Scan: Unique High-Speed Scanner Ahead of its Time This one-of-a-kind flying-dot scanner digitizes large surfaces in one simple step, all within a measurement volume of up to 30m (98ft) without the need for photogrammetry targets. Metallic and dark surfaces can be measured without powdering because the Leica T-Scan adapts its scanning parameters to different type of reflections on the go.

7 No Limits Other Than Your Own Imagination For more than 15 years, our laser trackers have been used in some of the world's most hostile, unforgiving environments around. At the same time, we have been pushing the envelope on measurement precision and repeatability to new heights. From assembling aircraft wings in huge jigs spanning more than 40m (131ft) to creating computer models of gigantic earth-moving equipment and everything in-between, we are always up to the challenge. Throughout the years, our customers have recognized our commitment to seeking out innovation, and have learned to depend on us for their most difficult challenges. Where others might see problems, we see solutions. A twin set of top-of-the-line Leica Laser Trackers was used to create a life-like computer model of Caterpillar multi-terrain loader in order to help engineers implement construction changes in future designs. Leica T-Probe allows for effortless measurements with the highest level of precision, even in hard-to-reach locations with no line of sight to the Leica Laser Tracker. Walk- Around probing of objects and tools makes articulated arms and connecting cables a relic of the past. With the Leica T-Probe, the future starts today. Airbus uses Leica Laser Trackers to assemble aircraft wings in huge jigs with tolerances of about 0.25mm maintained over the length of more than 40m (131ft). Our customers say... One of the enduring frustrations has been that our legacy tooling had to be checked using conventional methods. With the introduction of the Leica T-Probe, we can go gaugeless there as well, thus allowing us to recertify these tools up to 50 percent quicker. In a way, the Leica T-Probe is the evolutionary missing link that we have been waiting for all along. Alan Minshul, Airbus Tool Engineer, Broughton, UK
