New 'Laser Tracker X' CMM

US company FARO Technologies in Lake Mary, FL, which supplies portable 3D coordinate measurement systems for the computer-aided measuring (CAM2) market, has released its new 'Laser Tracker X' machine. Featuring FARO's latest technological advancement, 'XtremeADM', which eliminates the need for an interferometer to measure distance and thereby reduces cost, it is claimed to be the easiest-to-use laser tracker ever built

The portable, 3D measurement system uses laser technology to measure large-scale parts, tooling and machinery. The system measures XYZ coordinates with its laser by following a hand-held, mirrored, spherical probe. The 3D position of the probe is reported in real-time via high-accuracy angular encoders and the new 'XtremeADM' feature.

"Thousands of trackers have been the standard for the past 12 years for providing automotive, aerospace and other large-part manufacturers with a means of ensuring quality for assemblies and components beyond the measuring capabilities of other CMMs," asserted FARO president Simon Raab. "With XtremeADM and its other innovations, the new 'Laser Tracker X' allows facilities to perform those measurements with greater ease, accuracy and cost efficiency."
