The FARO Laser Tracker ION is an extremely accurate, portable coordinate measuring machine that enables you to build products, optimize processes, and deliver solutions by measuring more quickly, simply and precisely than previously possible. Replacing conventional tools such as tape measures, piano wire, plumb bobs, and even theodolites – the ION is a more accurate and reliable portable 3D measurement tool that allows you to streamline your processes and gain confidence in your measurement results.

The FARO Laser Tracker ION is the most advanced, state-of-the-art FARO Laser Tracker ever introduced. Using extensive knowledge of real-world measurement applications, FARO was able to develop the most accurate laser tracker available while still making it simple and easy to use and maintain. The ION also features a longer measurement range, lighter weight, and contains the fastest, most sophisticated distance measuring system: Agile Absolute Distance Meter (aADM).

• SelfComp: Compensation is normally a very time-consuming and user-intensive process, and the accuracy of any measurement system is affected by errors due to environmental changes. However, the patented SelfComp feature allows the ION to automatically maintain the highest level of system accuracy over a broad range of environmental conditions. SelfComp allows the unit to compensate for the errors while still producing the highest accuracy results.
• Versatile Mounting Options: The ION can be mounted vertically, horizontally or upside down*, providing versatility in tight or congested areas.
• Instant-On Laser: Begin taking measurements faster since no warm-up of the laser tube is required. This can result in a time-savings of 20 to 30 minutes!
• Smart Warm-Up: This feature accelerates the stabilization time of the unit itself in order to minimize the initial temperature changes’ impact on measurements.
• Integrated Weather Station: Temperature, air pressure, and humidity can affect the speed that light travels through air. The integrated weather station monitors these and compensates to ensure the accuracy of the measurement results.
• Integrated Precision Level: This built-in device establishes level to gravity within the measurement job. This is especially beneficial in complex alignments and equipment set-up.
