Description
In the development of instruments for neutron beam techniques, leveraging available state-of-the-art metrology tools is essential. The primary objective is to accurately determine the geolocation of neutron beams originating from the RA-10 reactor to ensure proper installation and periodic surveying of the LAHN instrumentation.
The Laser Tracker technique stands out as a portable, high-precision, and rapid measurement solution. To maximize its performance, it is necessary to design and implement a suitable measurement strategy that allows the acquired data to be effectively utilized across the various teams involved in field operations.
This paper presents the measurement strategy employed for the spatial characterization of the HAZF1 and HAZT1 beamlines for the ASTOR and ANDES instruments, using the embedded boxes in the RA-10 facility’s Reactor Hall as spatial references. Point cloud maps were generated, error types were evaluated, and reference locations were established for future integration tasks.
