The inspection of large volume items is problematic by nature of the dimensions involved, and the demands made on the technological solution are often quite different to those for small component inspection. Typical users not only include manufacturers and developers of aircraft, but also other large structures such as ships, antenna, satellite dishes or civil engineering structures etc.
The typical requirements of a large volume measurement solution include:
- High accuracy data capture
- High speed data capture
- Capture of both geometric feature & freeform surface information
- Measurement automation for maximum productivity
- True non-contact measurement for out of reach or touch sensitive parts

Metris offers two dedicated technologies for large volume metrology, Laser Radar and iGPS
Laser Radar - can be typically used anywhere a laser tracker is applied, but because it does not need an SMR (spherically mounted retro-reflector), it is the only large volume measurement solution to satisfy all of the above large volume metrology demands.
iGPS - provides highly flexible hand-held measurement probing capability throughout the entire volume of an iGPS enabled environment.
Both technologies are used within a wide variety of large volume measurement and inspection applications, for example:
- Aircraft fuselage section analysis
- Aircraft tool assembly and alignment inspection
- Aircraft engine inlet cowls inspection
- Checking shape and form of aircraft wing
- Inspecting wing roots
