  • Patent number: 10809377
    Abstract: The invention relates to a calibrating system for calibrating at least one distance-measuring device. In particular, the calibrating system is suitable for almost simultaneous calibration of a plurality of filling-level measuring devices. It is characterized in that a mirror arrangement is provided, by means of which a laser tracker can determine a least one distance to at least one reflector and at least one reference distance to the at least one distance-measuring device. The calibrating system according to the invention allows both the distance to the reflector and the reference distance to be determined by a single measuring device, without the at least one reflector having to be collapsible for this purpose or the calibration having to be interrupted. The calibrating system accordingly permits more precise calibration, the calibrating system further being operable with a high degree of automation.
