ROLLEIFLEX 6008 METRIC - A NEW CAMERA FOR INDUSTRIAL 
PHOTOGRAMMETRY

The product range regarding the recording systems for industrial photogrammetry of Rollei Foto- 
technic (Rollei Large Format Camera LFC, Rollei R Metrika) has been extended by the 
Rolleiflex 6008 metric, a new model in the film format of 60 x 60 mm. 
Also for this camera, the strict réseau technique is pursued by making use of a fixed, integrated 
grid plate with a mesh size of approx. 2 x 2 mm. The body of the camera with objective, ring 
flash and réseau preexposure being integrated in a rolling ring unit as well as the electronic 
camera control performed by a microcomputer are guaranteeing a simple handling of the 
recording system on the spot. 
Efficiency and possible accuracy are presented by examples of measuring tasks. These tasks are 
aiming at precise point determination required for surface measuring or in the field of quality 
control. 
1. INTRODUCTION 
The application of close range photogrammetry to 
solve every day measurement tasks in industry is a 
technique that has already been introduced in practical 
work. 
For highest requirements of accuracy the user has 
today at his disposal close range photogrammetric 
systems, which achieve the accuracy level of modern 
precise theodolite measurement systems in 3D point 
measurement /1990 Heister, H., Peipe, J.; 1991 Dold, 
J., Riechmann, W /. 
The arguments for the application of a 
photogrammetric system are short the recording time 
of the object to be measured in combination with the 
short interruption of running production processes, a 
free choice of recording positions, temporary and 
spatial separation of recording and evaluation, as well 
as the possibility to automate the evaluation. These 
arguments led to the fact, that numerous systems are 
installed for solving industry measurement tasks. 
The photogrammetric industrial measurement system 
developed by ROLLEI FOTOTECHNIC, 
GERMANY consists of the Large Format Camera 
LFC, the digital monocomparator RS1 for the high 
accuracy image point measurement as well as the 
driver and evaluation software of RolleiMetric /1990
