Offering a breakthrough in laser tracker technology, the FARO Vantage provides the world’s most complete laser tracking solutions

How the FARO Vantage works

The operation of the Laser Tracker is easy to understand – it measures two angles and a distance. First, the Tracker sends a laser beam to a retro reflective target held against the object to be measured. Light is then reflected off the target and retraces its path, re-entering the Tracker at the same position it left. As light re-enters the Tracker, two angle encoders measure the elevation and rotational angles while a highly accurate absolute distance meter is used to determine the 3D position of the retroreflector.
