API Active Target
The term API Active Target primarily refers to a specialized, motorized measuring accessory used with laser trackers in industrial metrology, manufactured by Automated Precision Inc. (API).
Features and Benefits
Motorized Targeting
Active Target’s built-in motorized technology automatically orients the reflector to face the laser tracker regardless of part movement.
360° of Measurement
The center reflector of the motorized target has 360° rotation enabling continuous lock-on to the laser tracker and eliminating beam breaks (infinite AZ rotation).
SMR Grade Target Centering
Active Target reflector has same accuracy as a SMR.
Safe and Easy Use
Battery powered and cable free, Active Target is safe and will not snag on machine parts.
Mounting Versatility
Weighing in at only 0.9kg (2lbs) the Active Target is designed to be mounted industrial Robots & CNC machines.
Applications
Active Target™ is a battery powered self-orienting motorized 360° rotation SMR that locks onto the laser tracker and automatically orientates to the laser beam allowing for automated tracking and measurements of machine tools, industrial robots, or automation where a standard SMR cannot perform.
Applications include:
- Volumetric Error Calibration (VEC)
- Machine Tool Inspection
- Robotic Inspection
- CNC Calibration
- Rail Alignment
- CMM Tracking
