Abstract:
An apparatus for optical distance measurement, comprising:a transmitter unit (12) with a light source (17, 18) for emitting optical radiation (13, 20, 22) to a target object (15); a receiver unit (14) for receiving the optical radiation (16, 49) returning from the target object (15); a control and evaluation unit (56) for ascertaining the optical distance from the apparatus to the target object (15); and at least one optical means (26, 28, 30, 50) for beam guidance of the measuring radiation (13, 49), wherein the relative disposition of the at least one optical means (26, 28, 30, 50) for beam guidance and of the light source (17, 18) relative to one another is variable, and wherein the relative disposition of the at least one optical means (26, 28, 30, 50) and the light source (17, 18) is adjustable in all three directions in space.
