Controller-Free, Wireless Laser Tracker



Automated Precision Inc. offers its first completely wireless, controller-free laser tracker: the Omnitrac 2. The Omnitrac 2 offers many of the features of the API's Radian, including an Autolock camera that can recapture a lost beam and onboard level sensor. The Omnitrac 2 operates using ADM (Absolute Distance Measurement) technology, while the Radian augments that with an interferometer.

With no external controller, there is no cable needed to connect the Omnitrac 2 to its operating system. The entire system is integrated, with all data capable of being transferred via WiFi. The controller operates up to six hours on a rechargeable battery with an optional AC/DC direct power adapter. This allows the OT2 to take measurements outdoors and in remote areas where there is no easy access to a power supply.

The total system weight, including controllers, is 24 lbs (10.8 kg). The entire Omnitrac 2 system can be transported in a single rolling case or backpack.

"The Omnitrac 2 features rugged design and stable construction," said a company spokesperson. "In addition, the Omnitrac 2 is able to operate in versatile mounting positions: sideways, upside down, underneath or directly on a part.

"The Omnitrac 2 offers enhanced dynamic performance and a high data rate. Its quick warm-up time allows it to reach approximately 90% of its accuracy within minutes of being turned on. The Omnitrac 2 can measure points up to 100 meters away and can operate in a temperature range between -4° to 120° F."
