The Total Station Autocollimator: An All-in-One Optical Laboratory

Traditionally, precision optical alignment and measurement required a suite of instruments: alignment telescopes, collimators, goniometers, interferometers, and position sensors. Each instrument addressed a narrow range of parameters, demanding space, time, and expertise.

Duma Optronics has redefined this paradigm with the development of the Total Station Autocollimator, a unique device that integrates the functionality of an entire optical laboratory into one compact instrument.

• Multi-functionality: Enables autocollimation, angle measurement, straightness, bore-sighting, centration, tilt, and alignment—all within a single device.
• Automation: Built-in software and precision motorized controls allow for fully automated measurement and calibration routines.
• Portability: Unlike large and complex lab setups, the Total Station Autocollimator offers flexibility and ease of integration into industrial, defense, and aerospace environments.

This innovation not only reduces laboratory footprint but also streamlines workflows, enabling faster, more reliable results in sectors where precision is non-negotiable.

Extending the Frontier: High-Power Laser Measurement up to 150 kW

As lasers scale into the multi-kilowatt regime, the challenges of measurement become increasingly complex. Conventional beam profilers and sensors cannot withstand such high intensities without suffering from distortion, damage, or reduced accuracy.

High-power laser instruments and what they do:

Duma Optronics has introduced specialized high-power laser measurement instruments capable of handling laser powers up to 150 kW, while providing real-time, non-invasive analysis. These systems measure:

• Beam profiling – delivering detailed 2D spatial intensity maps.
• Beam divergence – assessing laser propagation and quality in industrial and defense applications.
• Power distribution – enabling precise monitoring of energy spread within high-power beams.

Using proprietary air-cooled and dynamically sampled optics, these instruments achieve minimal thermal distortion and unprecedented measurement fidelity. The result is accurate characterization of high-power beams that would otherwise be unmeasurable with standard technologies.

Impact across Industries

Duma Optronics’ innovations are reshaping the landscape of optical measurement:

• Defense and Aerospace: Reliable alignment and beam diagnostics in space and airborne systems.
• Industrial Manufacturing: Quality assurance in laser cutting, welding, and material processing where power levels are extreme.
• Research and Development: Compact, multifunctional laboratory tools that accelerate discovery while reducing infrastructure needs.
• Energy and Photonics: High-power laser diagnostics critical to next-generation energy systems and fusion research.

A Vision for the Future

By merging multifunctional measurement with the capability to withstand ultra-high power laser environments, Duma Optronics is setting new benchmarks in photonics instrumentation. From the Total Station Autocollimator—a true “optical laboratory in a box”—to instruments handling 150 kW-class laser systems, the company continues to lead the way in precision, safety, and innovation.

Duma Optronics is not only delivering solutions for today’s toughest measurement challenges but is also defining the future of optical engineering and laser technology.
