Faro LaSER TRACKER — Industrial 3D MEASUREMENT SOLUTIONS
what is a FARO LASER TRACKER?
Definition & Purpose
The FARO Laser Tracker is a high-precision 3D measurement device used for industrial alignment, inspection, and quality control. Trusted by aerospace, automotive, energy, and heavy manufacturing industries, it provides accurate, repeatable measurements across large-scale applications.
How It Differs from Other Laser Trackers
Unlike handheld or fixed measurement devices, FARO Laser Trackers offer long-range tracking, real-time positioning, and robust industrial performance, making them ideal for complex jobs.
How Does a FARO Laser Tracker Work?
FARO Laser Trackers use laser interferometry and high-precision optics to track reflective targets (SMRs) in 3D space. Movements are captured in real time, enabling rapid, traceable measurements.
Software Integration
They pair with software like CAM2 Measure, SpatialAnalyzer, or PolyWorks, providing immediate alignment feedback and data analysis.
Why Accuracy Matters
Industrial projects demand sub-millimeter precision. FARO Laser Trackers ensure consistent quality, reduced rework, and reliable inspection data.
