Leica Geosystems announces the immediate availability of the all-new Leica Absolute Tracker product line. At 22 kg and 62 cm in height, the new Absolute Tracker is the most compact laser tracker from Leica Geosystems to-date. The Leica Absolute Tracker, the most robust, accurate, low-maintenance and thermally stable laser tracker in the industry, showcases a plethora of new, future-oriented technologies that will over time provide the basis for several new metrology products by Leica Geosystems.

The Leica Absolute Tracker family comprises three laser tracker systems. Leica AT901-Basic is an entry-level laser tracker with a measurement volume of up to 80 m. It is the ideal laser tracker for basic applications in which measurements with just a corner cube are preferred. Leica AT901-MR is a midrange laser tracker with 6DOF [6 Degrees of Freedom] capabilities, meaning it works in conjunction with the Leica Geosystems T-Products such as Leica T-Probe, Leica T-Scan and Leica T-Mac. When coupled to the T-Products, the Leica AT901-MR can operate in a measurement volume of up to 18 m. When inspecting with a corner cube, the measurement volume goes up to 50 m. It is the ideal laser tracker for automotive applications, allowing the placement of several bodies-in-white within its measurement envelope. Leica AT901-LR is the top-of-the-line Absolute Tracker both in terms of measurement volume and application flexibility. When measuring with the T-Products, the Leica AT901-LR works in a volume of up to 30 m. The measurement volume reaches a full 80 m when used with a corner cube. Thanks to its large measurement volume and T-Products capabilities, the Leica AT901-LR is ideally suited for tooling, part mating and inspection applications in the aerospace industry.

Duncan Redgewell, Leica Geosystems Laser Tracker Product Line General Manager: “With the Leica Absolute Tracker, we have introduced the most technologically advanced laser tracker on the market. It delivers the accuracy, robustness and thermal accuracy our laser trackers are known for in a compact, easy-to-transport package that looks absolutely great and keeps the focus on 6DOF solutions for maximum flexibility. We have not only responded to the changing requirements of the market, we have also assumed an active role in shaping the direction in which the metrology market is going. With the Leica Absolute Tracker, we are introducing a line of products suitable for many different kinds of industrial metrology applications, thus giving our customers the best possible return-on-investment.”
