THE COMPLETE SOLUTION

Tool Building and Large Volume Inspection with FARO Vantage Laser Tracker Powered by Verisurf Tool Building and Inspection Software

The FARO Vantage Laser Tracker, powered by the Verisurf Tool Building & Inspection Suite, is a complete metrology solution that provides efficient, computer-aided tool-building and measurement for medium-to-large scale inspection applications.

FARO Vantage Max Laser Tracker inspecting aircraft

Verisurf’s laser tracker productivity starts with its easy-to-use CAD/CAM experience. It features intelligent MBD (model-based definition) that speeds measurement planning while optimizing tracker operation and workflow. Additional performance is provided by powerful device controls and highly repeatable inspection plans for unparalleled process control.

3D Metrology Software, Training and CMMs

Whether you are inspecting, building tools, or reverse engineering, Verisurf gets the best performance from the Vantage Max! For aerospace tooling, automotive robotics and assembly line, energy, shipbuilding, or industrial machinery commissioning, Verisurf software and the Vantage Max provide the highest performance and accuracy available.

FARO Vantage Laser Tracker Basic Specifications

The FARO® VantageS6 Max and VantageE6 Max Laser Trackers offer comprehensive, large-volume 3D measurement up to 80 meters, significantly streamlining your organization’s processes and reducing inspection cycle times — all while ensuring complete confidence in the results.

  • The VantageS is intended for short-to-long range measurement applications of up to 80 meters, while the VantageE supports short-to-medium range applications of up to 35 meters
  • ActiveSeek™ FARO’s patent-pending feature to quickly and efficiently locate and lock onto a target allowing the Vantage to follow a moving target, even behind obstacles, and lock onto the target again when it is stable
  • Integrated Absolute Distance Measurement System (iADM) – Vantage is the only tracker that uses one laser to measure angle and distance with iADM to ensure exceptional accuracy

And more:

  • High accuracy with virtually no drift
  • Easy transport and setup – no master control unit required
  • Dual, hot-swappable battery
  • Tested and proven, rugged design and construction
  • IP52 compliant water and dust resistant

Popular High-Tech Option for the Vantage Laser Tracker

FARO 6Probe V2 6 DoF laser tracker probe

6Probe
Vantage Max laser trackers maximize 6 degrees of freedom (6DoF) measurement capabilities via the optional 6Probe, enabling precise measurement of hidden areas and small features. With kinematic self-identifying styli, you can change probing tips quickly and measure without any recalibration, plus measure hidden areas outside of the tracker’s line of sight with wide acceptance angles.

  • Eliminate SMR nests
  • Measure hidden areas outside of the tracker’s line of sight, while limiting device movements
  • Change probing tips on the fly with kinematic self-identifying styli
  • Enable CMM-style probing in small, tight and hard-to-reach spaces
  • Quickly scan surfaces with high-density using a 1,000 Hz measurement rate of single beam iADM
  • Quickly and accurately set tooling details with real-time “build-to” computer aided assembly to CAD
  • Adjust, shim, ream, and perfect the assembly followed by instant QC inspection report of the completed job
  • The integration of CAD and metrology reliably connected to tool-building is a worldwide standard set by Verisurf
  • Widely recognized as the standard of excellence for tool building at most major aerospace and automotive manufacturers
  • Several live, color-coded graphical and sound feedback indicators keeping the operator informed and alerted to measurement and compliance conditions
  • Easily report valuable detail with multi-color clarity of measurement results
  • The fastest align-inspect-report workflow available
  • Memorize steps to create reusable plans for repetitive jobs and process control
  • Embrace model-based definition (MBD) with “interactive GD&T” imported from native CAD or self-applied, then automatically employed by the software for real-time application in measuring and reporting
  • Direct, fast import of all major CAD file formats including massive files with ease
  • Qualified, aerospace CAD file translation validation
  • Fast and simplified drift monitoring and reporting
  • CTE compensation, monitoring, and reporting with customizable temperature alarm
  • Device station moves made fast and easy with Auto Align and intuitive bundling
