3M 7010390179 Prismatic Remote Sensing Target 3000X

Product Description

The 3M 7010390179 is a prismatic remote sensing target designed for precision measurement and alignment applications. Built on cube corner retroreflector technology at the microscopic level, the target returns light directly toward its source across a wide angle of incidence. This makes it effective with both polarized light systems and laser-based sensing equipment. The target measures 3 inches x 3 inches and ships in a case unit of measure. It is installed by survey technicians, alignment specialists, and instrumentation professionals working in industrial or infrastructure environments.

This target is suited for remote sensing setups where a high-brightness retroreflective surface is required at a fixed point. The 3000X designation indicates the reflectivity grade, meaning the target returns significantly more light than standard engineer-grade sheeting. Typical applications include machine alignment, structural monitoring, optical tooling, and laser tracker reference points in both indoor and outdoor environments.

Key Features

• Cube corner retroreflector technology returns light directly toward the source for high accuracy sensing
• Compatible with polarized light and laser-based measurement systems
• 3000X reflectivity grade for high-brightness performance
• 3 inches x 3 inches format suitable for fixed-point reference targets
• Adhesive-backed with liner for clean, repeatable placement on flat surfaces

Compatibility

Designed for use with polarized light and laser remote sensing systems requiring a retroreflective target surface. No specific instrument or system compatibility was stated in the product data.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by instrumentation or alignment technicians. Clean and dry the mounting surface before removing the liner and applying the adhesive-backed target. Ensure the target face is free of contamination, as surface debris will reduce retroreflective performance. No power isolation is required for target placement, but follow all site safety protocols when working near active machinery or laser systems.
