Vantage Laser Tracker Features


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

  • ActiveSeekTM Technology : Follow a moving target, even behind obstructions, with the industry’s widest field of view.
  • 6Probe : Use the handheld 6Probe with interchangeable styli for 6DoF measurement — the ability to measure hidden areas that are not in the direct line of sight.
  • Fast Data Acquisition : Capture data quickly for high-speed motion control and high-density scanning.
  • Integrated Absolute Distance Measurement System (iADM) : Ensure reliable distance and angle measurement with a single beam, Class 1 (eye-safe) laser system.
  • RemoteControlsTM Workflow : Control the laser tracker with a mobile device.
  • Exceptional Portability : Use in any environment and ship easily.
  • Proven Resistance : Know that Vantage Laser Trackers can withstand shock, vibration, temperature cycle and humidity.
  • Hot-swappable Battery : Just swap a battery to operate continuously.
  • Integrated Wi-Fi : Operate without cables.
  • Versatile Mounting : Set up in nearly any configuration.
  • Integrated Weather Station : Ensure accuracy in any atmospheric condition.
