FARO Laser Trackers are straightforward tools: they measure two angles, plus a distance. The tracker sends a laser beam to a retroreflective target that is held against the object being measured. The light reflected traces its own path back to the tracker. As the light re-enters the tracker, a distance meter in the tracker calculates the distance from the tracker to the retroreflector. The collected coordinate data is transferred to metrology software to establish the X, Y and Z coordinates for the point measured. The software ultimately uses a collection of the points taken for interpretation and modeling.
For industries that regularly need to perform large-scale measurements, Laser Trackers offer accurate 3D measurements collected by a single operator. They have traditionally been a common solution within the aerospace and automotive industries, but Laser Trackers are beneficial across several applications relevant to other industries involved in manufacturing.
