Portable extension boom cranes made of high strength steel are used for raising cargo on to and off of ships and trucks, e.g. loading equipment or food onto large cruise ships. Customers demand ever-increasing lifting capacity, while at the same time wanting the cranes to remain lightweight, versatile, mobile, and as small as possible when folded. Together with his students, Professor Jozef Predan from the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Maribor, Slovenia, carried out a series of tests for the crane manufacturer Palfinger Systems using a Leica TS30 total station. more

In industry sectors where work pieces are large and heavy, mobility is everything for a measurement system. When accuracy and easy handling are the other functional requirements, there is no way around a portable CMM. Spanish machining company Lakber came to this conclusion and uses a high-end Leica Absolute Tracker AT901 and a Leica T-Probe. more

The research engineering team at Caterpillar came up with a set of requirements for the system that would capture a D9 bulldozer's track-in-motion data as well as other relevant 3D coordinate data derived from the bulldozer's surface and movement. This technology played a crucial role in measuring simultaneous forces exerted on the bulldozer track shoe, and, at the same time, measuring simultaneous displacement (position and angle) of the track shoe to the ground. more
