About GLM Lasermesstechnik
GLM Lasermeßtechnik GmbH is a provider of professional industrial metrology based in Germany. The company develops, markets and supports 3D measuring systems for measuring large objects from 1 m³ upwards; a system comprises the measuring head (laser station or tachymeter), software (3-DIM Observer, 3-DIM PC Basic, 3-DIM PT) and accessories such as tablet, target plates and tripod. Applications include, among others, frame measurement of rail vehicles, crane runway measurement, shipbuilding, machine alignment of rotary kilns during operation, point transfer in steel and plant construction as well as monitoring, such as real-time monitoring of floating docks. In addition, GLM operates a laboratory for maintenance, repair and calibration of optical surveying instruments (tachymeters, theodolites, precision levels) from Sokkia, equipped with a collimator, laser interferometer and test tracks. GLM has been working with Sokkia since 1991; since 2009 the company has been distributing Sokkia total stations and levels. Surveying services, training, equipment rental and support are also offered.
