6D sensor for laser tracker API Automated Precision
SmartTRACK™
API´s SmartTRACK™ is a break-through for measurements and alignments of large parts and assemblies. API´s SmartTRACK™ Sensor in combination with an API Laser Tracker provides you with the position (X, Y, Z) AND the rotational orientation (pitch, yaw, roll angles) in real time!. For 6DOF only one Laser Tracker is needed - instead of three.
The SmartTRACK™ Sensor in operation
A motorized receiver within the SmartTRACK™ Sensor tracks the laser beam providing object pitch and yaw information in real-time. A proprietary roll detection system provides object roll angle. The SmartTRACK™ Sensor greatly simplifies instrument and software complexity to perform intricate alignment tasks.
SmartTRACK™ - range of application:
Machine tool calibation, 5 axis
CMM and robot calibration
Measurement of hidden points
With intelligent accessories such as the SmartTRACK™ Sensor you can substantially extend the range of application of your API Laser Tracker
Unbeatable portability
Weighing only 1.4kg (3.1lbs), the compact SmartTRACK™ Sensor makes it ideal for direct mounting on alignment fixtures and robot arms. Together with the T3™ Laser Tracker from API the SmartTRACK™ is one of the most compact systems on the market.
