Modern shipbuilder chooses laser measurement

摘要

Measurement specialist Hexagon Metrology describes how the surveying team at German yard Meyer Werft uses Leica Geosystems instruments to maintain build quality of its cruise ships. By Andreas Petrosino.According to the company, many sea miles travelled in some of the largest and most luxurious cruise vesels afloat owes a lot to a small town in Northern Germany. Papenburg in Emsland usually finds itself at the focus of interest only when a new ship runs down the slipway at Meyer Werft and moves with impressive precision along the river Ems into the North Sea. But similar - if not greater - precision is demanded in the fabrication halls.
