Product Information

The 0.5 Inch SMR (Spherically Mounted Retroreflector) is a high-precision miniature target used in 3D coordinate measurements and metrology applications where space is limited. Featuring a 12.7 mm stainless steel sphere and a K9 optical glass corner-cube prism, this reflector offers excellent accuracy in compact form.

Its reduced size makes it ideal for fine feature measurement, tooling inspection, or part alignment in aerospace, automotive, and precision machining sectors.

Available as a standalone unit or in a complete kit with mounting holders and a protective case.

Q1: What is the main use case for 0.5″ SMR reflectors?

A: The 0.5″ SMR is ideal for fine-detail measurement in compact spaces where 1.5″ SMRs are too large. Common applications include tooling alignment, machine part inspection, and robotic tracking.

Q2: Is this SMR compatible with my laser tracker?

A: Yes, the 12.7 mm SMR is designed for universal compatibility with FARO, Leica, API, and other standard laser tracker systems. Please verify offset settings in your software to match the smaller sphere size.

Q3: Can I buy holders separately if I only need the SMR?

A: Yes, you can purchase magnetic, shank, or edge holders separately. All are compatible with the 0.5" SMR and can be added later based on your project requirements.
