Exceptional Accuracy in Confined Spaces

The 12.7mm compact design proved invaluable for our turbine blade inspection project where access was severely limited. The K9 optical glass prism delivers consistent retroreflection with our API Tracker3 system, maintaining sub-micron accuracy even at extended ranges. Build quality is outstanding with the hardened steel sphere showing no wear after six months of intensive use.

Perfect for Precision Assembly Lines

These SMR reflectors have become essential for our automated assembly verification systems. The compact form factor allows placement in areas where standard 1.5-inch reflectors simply won't fit, while maintaining the measurement precision our aerospace applications demand. Magnetic mounting is secure and repositioning is effortless.

Reliable Performance Under Demanding Conditions

After testing multiple compact SMR options, Metricop's 0.5-inch reflector consistently outperformed competitors in signal strength and stability. The corner-cube prism geometry provides excellent retroreflection characteristics across our entire measurement envelope. Highly recommended for applications requiring both precision and portability.

Excellent Value with Minor Packaging Concerns

The reflector itself performs exceptionally well with our Leica AT960 system, providing consistent readings within our ±15 micron tolerance requirements. The K9 glass quality is evident in the crisp signal return and minimal beam deviation. Only minor complaint is the protective case could be more robust for field transport applications.
