Faro extends measurement capability with Vantage laser tracker
1 min read
The latest Faro 3D measurement laser tracker, the Vantage, is 25% smaller and 28% lighter than its predecessor, while its in-line optic systems extend long range measurement by 45% to up to 80 m (160 m diameter). Vantage also boasts features like SmartFind, MultiView and integrated WLAN to expedite measurement routines. The result, says Faro, is a more portable tracker that captures more measurements with fewer device moves and shorter routines than previously.
SmartFind and MultiView are found only on the Faro Vantage. The SmartFind system responds to simple gestures from the operator and allows the Vantage to find the desired target quickly whenever its beam is lost or broken. The patent-pending MultiView system employs two integral cameras that let users point automatically to specific, difficult-to-reach targets.
The Vantage's TruADM technology provides the accuracy needed for real-world applications where the differences between absolute distance measurement (ADM) and interferometer (IFM)-based measurements are, for the most part, insignificant. Faro's TruADM simplifies the process and does not require IFM system assistance. Enhanced predictive algorithms in this patented, fifth-generation technology allow quicker capture of dynamic measurements by simply scanning with the target.
The water and dust resistant IP52 rating mean operators can rely on the Vantage despite precipitation and humidity that can cause laser trackers to fail.
Along with standard shipping cases, the Vantage is now available with an all-new backpack and roller board, so that it can be transported anywhere, anytime, quickly and conveniently.
