Round checkerboard target 4.5″ with magnetic connection

Overview

The Round Checkerboard Target 4.5″ with Magnetic Connection is designed for laser scanning applications requiring compact and easily deployable reference targets. The target features a torsionally rigid, weather-resistant construction with an absolutely flat measurement surface to support reliable target detection.

Its semi-circular magnetic system allows the target to be rotated and aligned while keeping the target center unchanged. The target is supplied with an M8 connector and magnetic mount as standard, enabling fast installation on magnetic surfaces and flexible deployment in the field.
