We claim, the ornamental design for a laser tracker, as shown and described.

FIG. 1 is a first perspective view of a first embodiment the invention;

FIG. 2 is a second perspective view of the embodiment of FIG. 1;

FIG. 3 is a third perspective view of the embodiment of FIG. 1;

FIG. 4 is a front view of the embodiment of FIG. 1;

FIG. 5 is a rear view of the embodiment of FIG. 1;

FIG. 6 is a first side view of the embodiment of FIG. 1;

FIG. 7 is a second side view of the embodiment of FIG. 1;

FIG. 8 is a top view of the embodiment of FIG. 1; and,

FIG. 9 is a bottom view of the embodiment of FIG. 1.

The degree of transparency or opaqueness of the side cover member of the laser tracker forms no part of the claimed design. The side cover member of the claimed laser tracker may have facets, lenslets or other treatments.

The interior structure and details visible through the side cover member form no part of the claimed design.

The phantom lines shown in FIG. 1-FIG. 9 are environmental and not part of the claimed design.

The color and shading of the laser tracker forms no part of the claimed design, the laser tracker according to the claimed design may be any color or combination of colors.

The surface treatment of the laser tracker forms no part of the claimed design, the laser tracker of the claimed design may have any surface treatment.

References to “side”, “top”, “front”, “rear” and “bottom” in the figure descriptions are not meant to require certain in-use orientation; a laser tracker according to the claimed design may be used in any orientation.

Day, Jonathan Robert, Steffey, Kenneth, White, Ian Vance, Jackson, Jr., Joseph W., McDermott, Ian C., Garey, Jeremy Markee, Messinger, Matthew Joseph
