Planet-250 is a state of the art robot-goniometer designed specifically for measuring optical apparatus and functions. Planet-250 is marketed as an avant garde product. This is due to its characteristics, which are automation, speed and precision of movement, the result of a perfect synthesis between German mechanics, American electronics and Italian design. By using technologies that up until recently were only used in satellite antennae measuring systems and in ground and flight radar, Planet-250 will revolutionise the world of producers of optical devices and of the lighting technology industry. Planet-250 will reduce the optical apparatus' measuring times from several hours to a few minutes. This is because Planet 250 maintains a degree of precision in the position and movement during measurement, that is commensurate with the equipment used in the best metrological laboratories. Planet-250 has been designed together with the software for management and measurement display in order that the large quantities of data acquired by measuring can be translated into graphics, tables and comparisons with the norm very quickly, thereby making full use of the potential of the system.
