(API: Rockville, MD) -- Automated Precision Inc. (API) has released the vProbe, the newest accessory for the Omnitrac 2 (OT2) laser tracker. The vProbe’s wireless technology syncs perfectly with API’s Omnitrac 2 laser tracker.

The vProbe is a six degree-of-freedom (6DoF) contact probing option. It is an evolution of the cutting-edge technology that debuted in API’s I-360 line of products.

The i360 revolutionized portable metrology by offering an all-in-one probing and scanning solution for large-volume measurement. The vProbe continues this innovation by combining multiple measurement practices into one easy-to-use contact probing device. The hidden-point measurement function allows the operator to measure inside and behind objects, reducing the number of tracker moves necessary to complete the measurement. Downtime is significantly reduced because the operator doesn’t need to make as many trips between the tracker and the part.

Innovation driven by customers

vProbe development initially began after the launch of the Omnitrac 2 laser tracker. Customers in confined areas or measuring complex parts asked for a probing solution that would integrate with the OT2 tracker.
