Portable laser tracker iLT

ultracompactwirelessbattery-powered

Overview
The API iLT Laser Tracker is a compact, portable integrated laser tracker engineered for high-precision 3D measurement, part inspection, alignment and quality control. Its single-unit design combines tracker, controller and battery for cableless operation on the shop floor or in the field.

Key features

• Compact, lightweight integrated unit (weight: 4.9 kg) for easy transport and rapid setup.
• Measurement ranges depending on model: iLT — 25 m / 50 m diameter; iLT X — 50 m / 80 m diameter.
• Wireless operation and integrated controller for cableless workflows and confined-space measurement.
• Battery operation: internal battery (typical 4 hours) extendable up to 8 hours with an external power pack; some configurations support up to 8 hours.
• Autolock beam re-acquisition within an approximate 30° field of view.
• Onboard environmental compensation (weather station) for temperature, pressure and humidity corrections to preserve measurement accuracy.
• Dual virtual level for rapid establishment of a gravity-referenced coordinate frame.

Accessories & complementary devices

• vProbe — hand-held wireless tactile probe for hidden features and tight areas.
• iScan 3D — handheld laser scanner for high-definition surface capture and feature extraction.
• Smart TRACK sensor — performance sensor for robotic calibration.
• Active Target™ (6DOF) — enables automated tracking and inspection of machine tools, CNC machines and industrial robots (available on iLT X).

Applications

• Quality control, part measurement and inspection
• Alignment and calibration of machines and robots
• Jigs, fixtures and tooling inspection
• Robotics calibration and adaptive control
• Reverse engineering and large-scale 3D scanning
