- Key Products/Technologies
- Laser Trackers: The Radian series (Radian Core, Plus, Pro) features an 80m measurement range and 0.7 μm/m accuracy. These products offer 10 hours of battery life, an integrated controller, wireless operation, environmental compensation, and compatibility with 6DoF Active Target and Smart Track sensors. The iLT and iLTx are 6th generation laser trackers, notable for their ultra-lightweight (4.9kg) and compact design. They provide a linear range from 25m to 80m, an ADM laser data acquisition rate of 1Khz, an 8MP iVision camera, and GPU 'AI Enhanced' technology. Accessories include vProbe (wireless tactile probe), iScan 3D (for scanning highly reflective and high-contrast surfaces), Smart Track Sensor (for robotic calibration), and Active Target (for automated tracking and inspection).Laser Trackers: The Radian series (Radian Core, Plus, Pro) features an 80m measurement range and 0.7 μm/m accuracy.
