3D metrology with Faro Vantage Laser Tracker

Get Started
Faro Vantage Laser Tracker

Faro Vantage E

is a portable instrument that allows fast and precise on site measurements reducing the inspection times.

3D measurements

The laser tracker measures two angles (zenith e azimuth) using built-in encoders and one distance by mean of an absolute laser beam

3D software package

Faro's CAM2 software allows fast, precise and efficient measurements

Integration

Real time measurements, flexibility / fast response / precision, automatic generation of reports

F.A.Q.

  • How does the laser tracker work?

    The laser tracker measures two angles (rotation – azimuth – and elevation – zenith) and one distance: the angles (correspondent to the two axes of the measuring head) are measured by encoders while the distance is measured by a Class 1 laser beam that is reflected by a spherical target put onto the surface to be measured.

  • The distance is measured by an Absolute Distance Meter – ADM – laser beam sent from tracker e reflected by a Spherically Mounted Retroflector – SMR – put onto the surface to be measured.

  • With CAM2 software you can measure not only points but also complex entities like planes, circles, cylinders, slots and you can construct secondary entities starting from the measured ones.

  • After importing the CAD 3D model, you can align it with the piece to measure and compare the measured entities (reality) against the nominal ones (CAD).

  • The tracker can create a very precise working level (+/- 2 arcseconds, where 3600 arcseconds correspond to 1° => 1 arcs = 0.000278°) through any reference point. Moving the SMR in the space you have a real time information of the elevation and coordinates of any point.
