ACTIVE TARGET

The Active Target™ from Automated Precision Inc. (API) is a groundbreaking advancement in laser tracking technology. This motorized Spherically Mounted Retroreflector (SMR) is designed to stay locked onto any API laser tracker, automatically adjusting its position to ensure continuous tracking, even in dynamic environments. It enables automated measurements on machine tools, robots, and other moving objects where a traditional SMR would be ineffective.

How It Works:

The Active Target™ features a center reflector that operates like a standard SMR, but with the added advantage of built-in motorization technology. This allows the reflector to automatically adjust its orientation, always facing the tracker regardless of movement, ensuring precise and continuous measurement.

Key Advantages:

  • Automated Tracking: The Active Target™ tracks long rails, vehicle movements, or even the complex motions of robots without the need for manual repositioning.

 

  • Continuous Measurement: It can also track the position of CMMs and CNC machinery with no manual intervention, providing seamless, hands-off measurement during operations.

 

  • Enhanced Flexibility: Ideal for applications that require continuous movement or complex multi-axis tracking, such as robotics, mobile machinery, and large machine tools.

 

Award-Winning Technology:

Recognized as one of the Top 20 Innovative Products in the Machine Tool Industry (2010), the Active Target™ redefines efficiency and accuracy in 3D laser tracking, making it a must-have for industries requiring dynamic, high-precision measurements.

Whether for automated CNC calibration, robotics, or machine tool monitoring, the Active Target™ offers a cutting-edge solution for challenging measurement environments.
