  • Patent number: 7826040
    Abstract: The invention relates to an electro-optical measuring device, in particular a hand-held device (10) for contactless distance measurement, comprising an optical transmission path (28), which has a first optical axis (72) and which has at least one optical transmitter (20) for emitting a measurement signal, and also comprising a reception path (29) having a second optical axis (74), which is spaced apart from the first optical axis (72), with at least one reception optic (32) for focusing a measurement signal in the direction of a receiver (26), and also comprising an optical near range element (60) for parallax compensation. It is proposed that the near range element (60) be embodied rotationally symmetrically with respect to the second optical axis (74).

  • Patent number: 7751033
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for measurement of a line (S), in particular, an optical distance measurement method, whereby an input means (24,42) of a distance measuring device (20,22) is operated, which triggers a measuring sequence of distance measurements, during which individual measurements (10-16) of distances from the distance measuring device (20,22) triggered by the distance measuring device (20,22) are carried out perpendicular to the line (s) for measurement. According to the invention, at least one maximum value (10,16) and at least one minimum value of the distances are determined from the measuring sequence and the length of the line (s) determined from the at least one maximum value (10,16) and the at least one minimum value (13). The invention further relates to a distance measuring device (20,22), in particular, a hand-held measuring device for carrying out said method.

  • Publication number: 20100165320
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for mounting and alignment of an electro-optical apparatus, in which an optic (42) is oriented in three axes (X;Y;Z) relative to a further component (26, 46), in particular a method for alignment of a receiving optic (42) relative to an optical receiver (46). The invention proposes that the optic (42) is first aligned in a first (X) and a second direction (Y) and the optic (42) is subsequently fixed to an optical carrier (40) in the third direction (Z) by means of a welding process. The invention furthermore relates to a measuring device, in particular a distance measuring device (10), aligned according to the method of the invention.
