The patented ETALON TRAC-CAL | TRAC-CHECK software enables the efficient inspection and calibration of machine tools and large coordinate measuring machines (CMMs) ranging in size from 0.3 m to 15 m in accordance with international standards, in conjunction with an ETALON LASERTRACER.
The software determines machine deviations and can calculate appropriate correction tables for this purpose.
A portable tripod for use with portable measuring instruments, designed for quick repositioning to a new measurement location.
Industrial tripods are used as instrument stands when stability is a priority.
Due to their heavy weight of approximately 60 kg, the stands are very stable and can be adjusted in height using extension tubes.
Magnetic feet are often used in tight spaces when the portable measuring instrument needs to be placed directly on the object being measured.
When using laser trackers to measure holes, edges, or precise planes, measurement adapters are often used to simplify the measurement process.
We can offer you a wide selection of suitable and field-proven measurement adapters.
Laser trackers use spherical measuring reflectors. Depending on the manufacturer or supplier, these are called SMR, BMR, CCR, or RRR. Three diameter sizes are available for various applications:
The standard centering accuracy of the reflector relative to the sphere is 13 µm. More precise measuring reflectors are available upon request.
If the rental system requires a high-performance computer, we'll be happy to provide one with the software preinstalled so you can get started right away and won't waste time on time-consuming software installations.
The surface reflector is used in laser tracker measurements when the measurement point is not directly visible or the feature to be measured (e.g., a hole) is too small to be measured with the measurement reflector.
Upon request, we can provide you with additional measurement accessories:
Option A – You know exactly what you want to rent:
Please list the manufacturer and model of the measuring device, as well as any required accessories (tripod, software, other accessories).
Please let us know the time period during which you will need the measurement system.
You choose a location in Germany or anywhere in the world.
We will ship the measuring device to you right on time.
After the trade show, please send everything back to us via courier.
Option B – Do you need help making a selection before renting a 3D scanner or other 3D measurement devices? We’ll work with you to answer the following questions:
For what application (measuring volume, measurement accuracy) do you need the measuring system?
Do you have your own measurement staff, or do you need personalized training from our team?
Are you already using measurement software? Is it compatible with the required measuring device, or do you need different software?
Where will the measurement system be used, and what are the measurement conditions?
When do you plan to conduct the measurement, and based on our experience, how long will it take?
Once we have discussed all the questions, we will ensure that you receive all services and measurement systems by the scheduled date.

In many cases, renting a modern 3D laser scanner can be more practical and cost-effective than buying one. sigma3D offers professional, calibrated measuring devices for rent—such as the FARO FOCUS S150 laser scanner—providing all the features and benefits of modern measurement technology for every budget.
The benefits for your company when you rent a 3D measuring device, such as a 3D scanner, are clear: For many scenarios, a one-time measurement or adjustment using 3D measurement technology is perfectly sufficient. Even if you’re actually planning to purchase equipment for long-term use, it’s worth renting measurement devices like 3D scanners first. This allows you to determine whether integration into your workflows proceeds as planned and whether all connections and integrations function properly.
Yes, you can rent FARO measuring arms from us. We offer a wide range of measuring arm lengths, including 6- and 7-axis models with varying levels of measurement accuracy. Furthermore, you can upgrade the measuring arms with a line laser—the LaserLineProbe (LLP) from FARO—to perform area-based measurements.
Yes, and by combining our rental laser trackers, you can capture any measurement volume. Of course, these are the latest measurement devices from FARO, Leica, and HEXAGON.
