Trimble Checkerboard Target with 5/8″ Thread

Overview

The Trimble Checkerboard Target with 5/8″ Thread is specifically designed to support the georeferencing of scan projects. Positioned over a fixed point using a prism rod, the target can be scanned and subsequently measured with a laser pointer to establish coordinate references for project transformation workflows.

The target features a lightweight yet torsionally rigid aluminum composite construction with an absolutely flat measurement surface. Its integrated spirit level and precisely aligned target geometry help maintain consistent and reliable positioning during surveying operations.

Product Features

• Torsionally rigid, lightweight aluminum composite panel.
• Weather-resistant construction.
• Absolutely flat surface for reliable measurement results.
• Integrated spirit level.
• Checkerboard center aligned precisely with the mounting axis.
• Suitable for prism rods, tripods, and surveying accessories.
• Designed for georeferencing laser scanning projects.

Technical Highlights

• Target dimensions: 116 × 86 mm
• Checkerboard marking size: 80 × 80 mm
• Weight: 105 g
• Connection: 5/8″ female thread
• Tilting axis height: 100 mm (distance from target center to bottom edge of the 5/8″ connection)

Georeferencing Workflow

The target is positioned on a fixed point using a prism rod. After scanning, the target is measured using a laser pointer, allowing the scan project to be transformed into the coordinate system of the measured control points.

Purpose of Use

• Georeferencing scan projects.
• Fixed-point surveying workflows.
• Use with prism rods and tripods.
• Measurement distances up to 40 m.

Applications

• Architecture, building and monument preservation.
• Digital factory and plant engineering.
• Mining and tunneling.
• Energy and utility companies.
• Aircraft and shipbuilding.
• Forensic investigations.
