Wireless Laser Tracker Ditches the Controller

API Sensors Wireless Laser tracker ditches the controller

OTC Core high-performance laser tracker delivers essential laser tracking measurement capability without the use of an external controller, eliminating the need for cables to connect to the operating system. The compact, wireless system offers high accuracy measurement with the convenience of portability and ease-of-use. Based on API's Omnitrac 2 laser tracker unit, the OT2 Core offers many of the same features including an Autolock sensor that can recapture a lost beam. OT2 Core operates using the same high-precision ADM (Absolute Distance Measurement) technology as the Omnitrac 2.

 

The controller can operate up to six hours on a rechargeable battery with an optional AC/DC direct power adapter. This allows the OT2 Core to take measurements outdoors and in remote areas where there is no easy-access to a power supply.

 

Even with an integrated controller, the OT2 Core is lighter than most competing trackers. The total system weight, including controllers, is just 10.9 kg. This portability makes it the ideal measurement tool for many applications in a range of industries with its 50-meter operating range. It can be taken into tight spaces where other systems cannot measure due to their size. Its rugged design and stable construction fits perfectly to rough environments at industry plants. In addition, the OT2 Core can operate in versatile mounting positions: sideways, upside down, underneath or directly on a part. As a smaller, more portable system, the OT2 Core promises to bring the accuracy and reliability of laser metrology to shipyards, construction sites and other new sectors. The OT2 Core sells at a very competitive price, allowing smaller manufacturers and operators to take advantage of its benefits.
