Laser Trackers Equipped with Improved Vision Technology<br />
Eliminate Major Problem in Measuring Moving Targets<br />
The Leica Absolute Tracker with<br />
PowerLock vision technology is able<br />
to lock onto any moving target automatically.<br />
While laser tracker technology<br />
up to now has required that the<br />
operator take care that the laser beam<br />
between the tracker and the target is<br />
not interrupted, the PowerLock innovation<br />
introduced by Leica Geosystems<br />
AG removes the need for the<br />
user to intervene to prevent such timewasting<br />
process interruption. Leica<br />
cites customer reports that say that<br />

interruptions caused by the laser beam<br />
being broken accounts for as much as<br />
20% of total measurement time.<br />
An Absolute Tracker equipped with<br />
the built-in vision system can, via a<br />
sensor, determine where a target is<br />
without the user’s help. The laser<br />
tracker locks onto the target automatically<br />
as soon as it is within view of the<br />
sensor, allowing the operator to focus<br />
on the part and the measurement<br />
process, and not on whether the beam<br />
has been broken. PowerLock works<br />
with all standard reflectors and all<br />
Leica T-products.<br />
All Absolute Trackers purchased<br />
from now on will be upgraded to this<br />
functionality free of charge upon release.<br />
Models already in the market<br />
can be upgraded for a small charge at<br />
any Hexagon Metrology service centre.<br />
