Speed

   The Tracker follows the mirrored target over features, updating the position at a rate of 1,000 times per second. The target speed, regardless of resolution, is 6 meters per second (20 feet per second). The abundance of data collected yields good statistical redundancy, permitting excellent accuracy and repeatability.

  Laser Tracker's surpass all portable CMM technologies in speed of overall performance. They can do this because of the data collection rate, as well as the CAD based  feature presentation, reporting and analysis capabilities. This makes it possible to do "real-time" adjustments, alignments, all standard GD&T functions, as well as analysis, all with one piece of equipment, and generally just one technician.

    The "stand alone" characteristics of the Tracker mean that it saves a tremendous  amounts of time when compared to the multiple departments and multiple staff members that were historically needed to accomplish the same tasks. This cuts program costs, minimizes mis-communication,and risk of cumulative errors.

Quick Calibration

The SMX/Faro Trackers have reduced calibration time to just over 5 minutes (with very little operator involvement) from typical calibration processes that can take an hour. This makes setup and repositioning the fastest possible

Quick Connect /Release Instrument Stand Mount

The SMX/Faro Trackers' head attaches to an instrument stand with a quick-connect mechanism that also permits the head to be pointed in any direction.
