(Hexagon Metrology: Miamisburg, Ohio) -- Leica Geosystems, a Hexagon company, recently unveiled the new face of laser tracking—the Leica Absolute Tracker. The all-new laser tracker offers scaled-up features in a scaled-down, sleek housing for ultimate portability, and ease of handling on the factory floor. The product introduces substantial advances in thermal stability and volumetric accuracy, accelerated start-up times, major speed improvements, and a maintenance-free internal design. The Absolute Tracker integrates future-oriented technologies, providing the basis for several new metrology products being developed by Leica Geosystems. The measurement systems are utilized for a wide range of industrial metrology applications in aerospace, automotive, power generation, shipbuilding, and general engineering.

The Leica Absolute Tracker’s compact size, at only 2 feet tall (62 cm) and 48 pounds (22 kg), enables the sensor and the stand to be safely operated and maneuvered by one person. The laser tracker can be easily transported from one site to another in an average station wagon. The system’s overall robust design and end-to-end reliability stand up to the toughest, most unforgiving industrial environments.
