Vantage Laser Tracker

FARO has spent more than 30 years bringing excellence into the marketplace. Through our wide array of products, and the innovations that have come with them, the 3D imaging landscape has been changed forever. FARO’s portfolio of portable coordinate measuring machines (CMMs) includes measuring arms, laser trackers, 3D laser scanners, and 3D imagers. These portable CMMs can be used for both contact and non-contact measurement.

The FARO Vantage Laser Tracker 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. FARO Vantage® Laser Trackers optimize workflow productivity for large-scale metrology applications including, but not limited to, assembly alignment, part and assembly inspection, machine installation and alignment, and reverse engineering. The FARO Vantage Laser Trackers are high-performance, high-value laser trackers which allow users to maximize productivity and reduce inspection cycle times by 50% to 75%. So these laser trackers set the standard in workflow productivity management for metrology applications.

LARGE-SCALE, 3D MEASUREMENT IS NOW FASTER AND EASIER THAN EVER WITH FARO LASER TRACKERS

Both compact and portable; the Vantage line of laser trackers offers an array of amazing features:

    • ActiveSeek technology that allows the laser trackers to find and follow the target, even after the user passes behind obstructions.
    • 6DoF (6 Degrees of Freedom) Handheld 6-Probe enables the user to measure hidden areas that are not in direct line of sight, as well as small, tight, hard-to-reach areas.
    • High-Speed Dynamic Measurement
    • RemoteControls Workflow
    • Exceptional Portability and Ruggedness
    • Easy Integration with FARO’s Patented Super 6DoF TrackArm Solution

ActiveSeek

Quickly and efficiently locate and lock onto a target:

    • A CMM machine that follows a moving target, even behind objects and/or obstructions by reconnecting as soon as the target is in view.
    • Dynamic searching finds you wherever you are in the field of view.
    • The widest field of view in the industry gives the user complete freedom to move throughout a large measurement envelope.
    • Compatible with both conventional SMR probing and 6DoF probing.

6 Degrees of Freedom (6DoF)

The FARO 6Probe is a fully-integrated wireless handheld probe that dramatically increases versatility and efficiency of the laser measurement system.

    • Delivers the ability to measure hidden areas (that are not in the direct line of sight) as well as small, tight, hard-to-reach spaces and on small features that cannot readily be probed with a standard SMR.
    • Interchangeable styli ensure the right length and diameter for the job.

Fast Data Acquisition

    • With a data output rate of 1,000 points per second, the Vantage Laser Trackers provide feedback for high-speed motion control and high-density scanning, making them ideal for automated applications.

Integrated Absolute Distance Measurement System (iADM)

    • Our 6th generation iADM ensures exceptional accuracy. The VantageS and VantageE series laser trackers are the only portable CMM machines that measure angle and distance with a single, Class 1 (eye-safe) laser.
    • Measurement reliability is improved because errors and drift associated with two-beam tracker technology are eliminated.

RemoteControls Workflow

This feature enhances the workflow of a tracker by allowing a user to control the movements and other functions of the Vantage with a mobile phone or tablet.

    • Live video feed from the tracker streams to your mobile device, allowing control anywhere in the working area.
    • Remote on/off and scheduled warm-up improve workflow by making the Vantage ready for immediate operation when the user begins measuring.

Exceptional Portability

With an ultra-compact size and no external control unit, these IP52-rated systems have been rigorously tested.

    • Resistant to shock, vibration, temperature cycle, and humidity.
    • Fits in a single case for transport, these trackers are ready to travel wherever you need them.

Hot-Swappable Battery

    • Enabling continuous operation, eliminating the need for AC power.

Integrated WiFi

A CMM machine built for enhanced portability and convenience.

    • Faster connection time and greater range allow the Vantage to act as a WiFi access point.
    • Dual WiFi and wired Ethernet enable a connection with a PC and wireless device simultaneously.

Versatile Mounting

Robust tracking enables the Vantage 3D measurement system to be mounted on a variety of stands in many configurations.

    • Vertically, horizontally, upside down.
    • Can fit almost anywhere you need it.

Integrated Weather Station

Because atmospheric conditions matter.

    • Continuously monitors temperature, air pressure, and humidity.
    • The Vantage compensates accordingly to ensure accuracy
