1.     Understanding Hollow Retroreflector Application Conditions

    Before selecting the appropriate hollow retroreflector, it's essential to understand the application conditions. For example, if the hollow retroreflector is intended for use in a vacuum or in environments exceeding 200°C, a metal hollow retroreflector would be chosen to meet these requirements. Conversely, if the hollow retroreflector is expected to operate under vibration conditions below 100°C, a monolithic hollow retroreflector would be preferred.

2. Comprehensive Analysis of Application Requirements

    Spliced hollow retroreflectors present an optimal choice in the laser tracker and interferometry metrology field. They not only reduce measurement errors but also exhibit efficient manufacturing processes. However, like every solution, there are pros and cons. While they offer advantages, such as enhanced accuracy, they also entail higher costs and longer delivery times. To make an informed decision, we have identified potential impact factors and application conditions. By comparing the strengths and weaknesses of different hollow retroreflectors, we can form a basic judgment. Ultimately, we strongly recommend discussing your specific application details with the hollow retroreflector manufacturing supplier to ensure the best-fit solution.
