Claim 5:
6. A laser tracker calibration system comprising:
an artifact;
a first kinematic mount selectively coupled to said artifact at a first location;
a second kinematic mount selectively coupled to said artifact at a second location, wherein said first and second kinematic mounts are coupled to a rigid support structure so as to hold said artifact relative to a laser tracker during calibration of the laser tracker; and
a positioner rotatably coupled to said rigid support structure,
wherein said artifact includes opposed front and rear walls extending between opposed first and second ends of said artifact and opposed top and bottom walls extending between respective top and bottom edges of said front and rear walls so as to define an interior area,
wherein said rear wall of said artifact defines first and second apertures that are configured to receive respective first and second kinematic mounts, and
wherein said first and second kinematic mounts extend through respective first and second apertures of said artifact such that said first and second kinematic mounts extend into the interior areas of said artifact so as to enable said artifact to be positioned more closely to the rigid support structure.
