Laser-tracking measurement systems (laser tracker) have been playing a critical role in large-scale 3D high-precision coordinate measurement. However, the existing visual guidance of laser trackers is still limited by the disadvantages of operator-dependence, small-angle view field, time-consuming laser-guided process. This paper presents an automatic guidance method for laser trackers based on the rotary-laser scanning angle measurement technology. In this method, a special target consisting of six photoelectric receivers and a retroreflector is integrated into the rotary-laser scanning transmitter’ coordinate systems. Real-time constraints calculated by the proposed method would provide the coordinates of the target in a laser tracker coordinates system for guidance. Finally, the experimental results verified the automatic re-establish of sightline can be realized in horizontal 360° angle field within tens of arc-seconds, and this method is robust against the fast movement of the target.
