The family consists of two high performance models, the VantageE, with an operating range of 25 m, and the VantageS, with an operating range of 80 m.
Their portability is enhanced via an integrated master control unit (MCU), hot swappable batteries that eliminate the need for AC power and cabling, and industrial-grade Wi-Fi for reliable, wireless communications. They come together with a single carrying case enabling easy transport between job sites and/or locations within the factory by a single user.
The Vantage Laser Tracker platform is the first to use Faro RemoteControls (patent pending) for advanced control of the system using a mobile phone or tablet device. The mobile device controls the movements of the laser tracker and also delivers enhanced functionality, such as live video feed from targeting cameras, so that a single operator can now easily control the laser tracker from anywhere in the measurement area.
Also included are innovative workflow management features, such as remote accuracy checks and programmable remote warm-up, so users can schedule the device to turn on in advance and make it ready for immediate operation, when the operator arrives.
Faro RemoteControls also includes next-generation functionality, where the laser beam can be automatically reestablished via a simple set of gestures, indoors or outdoors. This dramatically improves efficiency and productivity by eliminating the challenge of a broken laser beam and the need to manually re-acquire the target. Finally, FARO RemoteControls significantly reduces user training by dramatically increasing operator ease of use.
Both VantageS and VantageE fully support Faro’s patented Super 6DoF (Degrees of Freedom) TrackArm solution, which enables a Vantage Tracker and a Faro ScanArm, or multiple ScanArms, to work together to create an integrated 3D measurement solution across a single coordinate system. Super 6DoF eliminates line-of sight challenges and significantly expands measurement range while maintaining superior accuracy with two-instruments-in-one operation.
