Hexagon Metrology introduces battery powered IP54 certified Absolute Tracker

Highly portable, it has a weight of only 8 kg including controller, a height of just 29 cm and a minimal configuration that allows it to be transported as carry-on luggage, on most large international airliners. It is IP54 certified and includes enhanced features such as PowerLock and Automatic Target Recognition (ATR) that makes it Leica easiest to use 3D Absolute Tracker. The laser tracker incorporates an advanced power management system that allows the batteries to be hot swapped, as well as, the system to be run off of Power over Ethernet (PoE+). Both the instrument's horizontal and vertical axes allow infinite rotation, and when the quick release handle is removed it has a full vertical measurement dome of +/- 145º. The Absolute Distance Measurement (ADM) in the Leica Absolute Tracker AT401 has a maximum uncertainty of ten microns, over the full certified volume. This laser tracker comes with enhanced Leica Geosystems technology such as PowerLock beam recovery, Automatic Target Recognition (ATR), maintenance-free Piezo drives and survey grade precision level to gravity sensor. "The Leica Absolute Tracker AT401 allows us to take laser tracker solutions into a wider application base. Together with the proven AT901 we are now able to offer the very best price versus performance ratio from a variety of Absolute Laser Trackers thereby enabling our customers to choose the right tool for the job in hand", says Duncan Redgewell, Hexagon Metrology's vice president, Portable Products.
