Vantage Laser Trackers

Vantage Laser Trackers

Maximize production efficiency without compromising measurement accuracy

In modern industry, measurement accuracy, speed, and reliability are critical. The FARO VantageS6 Max and VantageE6 Max laser tracker systems provide large-scale, highly accurate 3D measurements at distances of up to 80 meters. The result is significantly faster measurement processes, shorter inspection cycles, and complete confidence in your measurement results.

The Vantage Max series laser trackers are ideally suited for demanding industrial applications where traditional coordinate-measuring solutions are not flexible or efficient enough.

6DoF measurement – accuracy even for hidden features

The Vantage Max laser tracker supports the optional 6Probe sensor, enabling full six-degrees-of-freedom (6DoF) measurements. This makes it possible to:

• measure hidden features and small details
• perform measurements with wide acceptance angles and without strict line-of-sight limitations
• work quickly and flexibly in confined or complex environments

Automatically recognized probe kinematics allow sensors to be changed without recalibration, saving time and reducing the risk of errors.

Proven time savings and higher productivity

A typical Vantage Max user can save up to 60 minutes per working day, translating into approximately 20 % higher overall productivity compared with more traditional and less accurate measurement solutions.

More accurate 6DoF measurements reduce the need to reposition the tracker, speed up inspections, and improve repeatability—especially when measuring large and complex assemblies.

Business benefits of the Vantage laser tracker

Improve quality
Complex 3D measurements, automated reports, and precise alignment of machines and robotic systems help detect deviations early and improve manufacturing quality.

Increase throughput
Higher production speeds and reduced downtime thanks to faster measurements and verifications.

Accelerate time to market
The laser tracker integrates directly into the production environment and shortens commissioning and product launch times.

Increase customer satisfaction
When products consistently meet specifications and tolerances, customer confidence increases.

Make better decisions
Accurate, up-to-date measurement data supports fast decision-making and helps anticipate issues before they impact production.

Typical applications for laser tracker measurements

Laser trackers are particularly effective when parts are large, tolerances are tight, and measurements must be performed quickly on the shop floor. Below are the most common and business-critical applications.

Machine and production line alignment and installation
Laser trackers are ideal for the precise alignment of large machines, production lines, and process equipment:

• geometric alignment of machines and frames
• measurement of shafts, rails, and planes
• fast installation without heavy fixed reference setups

Accurate coordinate measurement reduces downtime and ensures correct operation from the very first start-up.

Robot calibration and validation
The performance of robotic systems depends directly on measurement accuracy:

• measurement of robot positional accuracy and repeatability
• calibration of robotic cells
• comparison of virtual models with real geometry

Laser-tracker-based 3D measurements improve robot accuracy and reduce errors in automated production.

3D measurement of large parts and assemblies
As part size increases, traditional measurement solutions become limited:

• frames and welded structures
• large machined components
• modular assemblies

A laser tracker enables large-volume 3D measurement without moving the part to a measuring machine.

Inspection of tools, molds, and fixtures
Production quality depends on accurate tooling:

• fixtures and jigs
• molds and forming tools
• geometric verification of assembly tools

Laser trackers support fast inspection and fully documented quality assurance.

Measurement of hidden and hard-to-reach features
6DoF measurement provides a major advantage in applications where direct line-of-sight is not possible:

• internal structures
• small features
• complex geometries

This makes the laser tracker a superior solution for demanding industrial measurement tasks.

Quality assurance and measurement reporting
Laser tracker measurements support modern quality management through:

• automated measurement reports
• deviation analysis
• production documentation and traceability

Reliable measurement data supports both internal development and customer compliance requirements.
