FARO shrinks the size of its industry-leading laser tracker by 25
percent while adding a host of new features that increase range and
improve efficiency for customers. LAKE MARY, Fla., July 16, 2012
/CNW/ - FARO Technologies, Inc. , the world's most trusted source
for 3D measurement technology, today announced the Vantage, a true
laser tracker that combines disruptive new features and a supremely
portable design. Enhancements like SmartFind, Multiview and
integrated Wi-Fi® expedite measurement routines for unprecedented
speed and efficiency. Dramatic reductions in size and weight make
the device so portable, it can simply be carried on board an
airplane and stored in an overhead bin. "The Vantage is a
revolution," said Ken Steffey, Director of Product Management for
the FARO Laser Tracker. "This device, and its combination of
features, accuracy and portability, is unlike anything this
industry has seen. The Vantage will be the standard for laser
trackers going forward." (Photo:

Vantage is 25 percent smaller and 28 percent lighter than its
predecessor, FARO has included new in-line optic systems that
actually improve long-range measurement by 45 percent to up to 80
meters (160m diameter). Integrated Wi-Fi eliminates tethering to
laptops. The result is a portable tracker that captures more
measurements with fewer device moves, and shorter routines, than
ever before. Along with standard shipping cases, the Vantage is
packaged with an all-new backpack and roller board that can be
stowed in an airline overhead compartment, so it can be transported
anywhere, anytime, quickly and conveniently. Two of the new
features found only in the Vantage – SmartFind and MultiView –
increase productivity by reducing measurement time. The SmartFind
system responds to simple gestures from the operator and allows the
Vantage to quickly find the desired target whenever its beam is
lost or broken. The patent-pending MultiView system utilizes two
integrated cameras that let users point automatically to specific,
difficult-to-reach targets. Other new features like the water and
dust resistant IP52 rating mean operators can rely on the Vantage
through precipitation and moisture that can cause other laser
trackers to fail. The Vantage's TruADM technology provides the
accuracy needed for everyday, real-world applications where the
differences between absolute distance measurement (ADM) and
interferometer (IFM)-based measurements are, for the most part,
insignificant. Unlike technologies that require an IFM system to
assist their ADM system, FARO's TruADM simplifies the process.
Enhanced, predictive algorithms in this patented, fifth-generation
technology allow quicker capture of dynamic measurements by simply
scanning with the target. "FARO has developed a more portable,
durable laser tracker that incorporates remarkable performance,
ease-of-use and more. We're proud to be able to introduce such a
complete solution to the marketplace," explained FARO CEO Jay
Freeland. "It truly is a no-compromise solution for our customers."
