SOW 6 Degree of Freedom Laser Tracker System

STATEMENT OF WORK

TITLE: Laser Tracker System

LAB REQUESTING SERVICE: Communications Technology Laboratory, RF Technology Division

I. BACKGROUND

For the purchase of a laser tracker system that is capable of 6-degree-of-freedom (6DoF) measurements. This system will be used for precision 6DoF control of several robots that will be used for antenna positioning and alignment. This system will support Advanced Communications research in the field of new antenna metrology in division 672.02.

II. Technical Specifications:

6DoF Laser Tracker System must be DIRECTLY compatible with our existing Leica Laser Tracker AT901-Mid Range, Leica T-Cam, and Leica T-Frame 6-Degree-of-Freedom Targets. This new system will be used in conjunction with our existing system for controlling industrial robotics for precision antenna positioning and alignments. Therefore this new system MUST meet the compatibility requirement to be able to interchangeably work with our existing system.

The following is a list of the technical specifications that the system comprised of the components listed above must meet:

1. A total of 6 targets must be provided that are each capable of providing, six degree of freedom measurements for x, y, z position as well as yaw, pitch and roll angles.

2. The six degree of freedom target must use photogrammetry as part of the method in obtaining the six degree of freedom data.

3. The six degree of freedom targets must have no moving parts.

4. The six degree of freedom targets must be able to interface with additional sensors such as touch probes and laser line scanners.

5. The laser tracker system must have the ability to automatically re-acquire lock on the six degree of freedom targets as well as 3D spherical mirror reflector targets in the event the laser beam is broken and the target moves out of beam path.

6. The laser tracker must utilize single beam absolute interferometer that provides absolute distance measurement using a polarization modulated reference.

7. The laser tracker must support integration with a robot for the purpose of using the robot with the laser tracker and compatible hardware for automated six degrees of freedom (6DoF) measurement and inspection using touch probes or optical probes.

8. Must be delivered with a valid calibration.

9. A data acquisition rate of 1 KHz must be obtainable from the laser tracker and 6Dof targets.

10. The system must have external hardware triggering capability via a TTL signal or similar type input pulse.

11. Be supplied with working software and user interface for acquiring data from the laser tracker. The software must allow for the user to define data recording rates in time and space and allow for defining new coordinate system origins as well as provide statistical analysis of the laser tracker data.
