Faro has announced a new addition to its Vantage Laser Tracker product line. The new VantageE enables high-speed dynamic measurement, and according to the company, is affordably priced for customers who demand high performance while working with short-to-medium range applications.
The laser tracker has a range of up to 25 metres through the company’s fifth-generation TruADM (Absolute Distance Meter) technology, which enables fully-dynamic measurement capabilities. It is able to continuously scan and take measurements while a spherical optical probe is tracked across the surface of the part, object or assembly. If the laser beam is interrupted at any time while the probe is being moved, the user can simply and instantly reacquire the beam and continue measuring.
The laser tracker provides full support for the company’s Super 6DoF (Degrees of Freedom) TrackArm solution, which enables a Vantage Tracker and one or more ScanArms to work together to create an integrated 3D measurement system. It is suited for applications such as quality inspection, tool-building, alignment and reverse engineering.
