What is the Faro laser tracker?

The FARO Laser Tracker is a classified as a Class II laser product and meets the requirements of the Food and Drug Administration, Center for Devices and Radiological Health, Register 21 CPR parts 1000 and 1040, and those of international standard IEC EN 60825-1 2001-08.

What is the wavelength range of the ion laser trackers?

The ION X, Xi, and SI Trackers' laser beams have a wavelength range that is Helium-Neon (HeNe) 633 nm. The Absolute Distance Meter (ADM) system for both the Vantage and ION Laser Trackers emits a Class I laser beam that has wavelength range of 1550 nm and a maximum output of less than 0.79 milliwatts.

How do laser trackers work?

Laser Trackers use one of two types of distance meters. The first is the interferometer, which uses relative distance to measure — meaning that it can accurately measure the movement of a target but cannot provide absolute position. The second, which FARO ® uses, is the absolute distance meter (ADM). Most Laser Trackers use ADM technology.

Do laser trackers work if a line-of-sight beam is broken?

Operators needed more extensive training and experience to use the Laser Tracker efficiently. Recent innovations, such as the ActiveSeek™ feature on the FARO Vantage Laser Trackers, have mitigated this concern by allowing the laser to actively locate and lock onto the target even if the line-of-sight beam is broken.
