Product Details

API Smart Track Sensor

The API Smart Track Sensor (STS) is a specialized metrology tool that works with an API laser tracker to provide real-time, high-accuracy 6 Degrees of Freedom measurements for dynamic application.

Features and Benefits

Real-Time Targeting

The Smart Track’s motorized sensor intuitively track’s API’s laser beam to expand 3D data by providing angular information in real-time.

Large Measurement Envelope

The STS has an operating radius of more than 50 meters & infinite yaw articulation, making it the most advance 6DoF laser tracker sensor in it’s class.

Volumetric Robotic Compensation

The accuracy & flexibility of the STS allows, certification, calibration, & compensation of robotic programming.

Unmatched Versatility

Weighing only 1.4 kg (3.1 lbs), the patented sensor’s compact size allows for easy mounting in any orientation on a variety of robots & machine tools.

Applications

SmartTrack™ provides automatic 6DOF measurement for dynamic accuracy applications by determining the position (x, y, z) and angular orientation (pitch, yaw, roll) of a tracked point in real-time revealing the real-time true position and orientation of a moving target such as a robotic end-effector. Applications include machine tool and robot calibration and dynamic robot accuracy enhancement.

Applications include:

  • Large Assembly Guidance
  • Robotic Calibration
  • Quality Measurement
  • Kinematic Modeling
  • DH Modeling
  • 6D Adaptive Feedback Control
  • Machine Tool Calibration


Robotic
Enhancement

Smart TRACK Sensor (STS) paired with a Radian Laser Tracker will reduce inaccuracies and provide performance data during Robotic Calibration. This system will produce precise measurements and repeatability in manufacturing tasks.

Real-Time
Calibration

Combined use of the laser tracker and STS reveals real-time position and orientation of a moving target like a robotic end-effector.

6DoF
Tracking

STS continuously locks on to a Radian Laser Tracker to determine position (x, y, z) and angular orientation (pitch, yaw, roll) of a tracked point in real-time.
