Hexagon\u2019s Manufacturing Intelligence division announced the launch of the Leica Absolute Tracker AT500 and accompanying B-Probeplus, the company\u2019s latest 3D laser tracker system. Succeeding the hugely successful AT400 series, the new AT500 platform brings improved performance to both reflector and probing measurement, along with a new battery-powered integrated controller design, full IP54-rated environmental protection and an expanded operating temperature range.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The AT500 has been designed as the most portable and robust laser tracker in Hexagon\u2019s range. A number of features contribute to extremely fast setup times, including the system\u2019s built-in controller unit, a first for an Absolute Tracker. This new design is a big step forward in portability, with cabling minimised and setup reduced to an essentially plug-and-play concept. Alongside the platform having no need for levelling or initialising on a reflector before measurement begins, this development allows the system to deliver significant overall productivity improvements and reduced time-to-result.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This next-generation laser tracker platform also delivers a revolution in probing functionality with the new B-Probeplus. An increased tilting angle and working volume makes the probe comfortable to use and easy to target, with real-time connection feedback displayed directly on the probe unit\u2019s live display read out, helping to ensure data points are measured correctly on the first click. And all that comes with accuracy certification in line with ISO 10360-10 specifications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe AT403 and its predecessors represented a ground-breaking laser tracker platform that has driven metrology-grade measurement into completely new areas over the last decade,\u201d says Rodrigo Alfaia, Absolute Tracker Product Manager at Hexagon. \u201cWith the AT500, we wanted to continue that story while delivering improvements we know our customers have been asking for. Making our probe easier to use has been a key target for us, and with the B-Probeplus I believe we really have a system that can deliver huge productivity improvements and change the way people measure in difficult environments. The live measurement feedback on the probe makes such a big difference to the systems usability \u2013 taking a measurement has become so much easier with this new generation.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Further to this, an expanded operating temperature range of -15 to 50\u00b0C will allow the AT500 to deliver accurate results from mountaintops to foundries. Taken together with a market-leading measurement volume up to 320 metres in diameter and the essential IP54-rated ingress protection \u2013 unique to the AT500 on the laser tracker market \u2013 the AT500 stands out as the most robust measurement system for challenging environments that go beyond the bounds of everyday manufacturing applications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Integration with Hexagon\u2019s HxGN SFx | Asset Management solution adds to the reliability and portability of the AT500 and makes the system even more capable of living up to its \u2018measure anywhere\u2019 credentials. It allows the system to be monitored and managed remotely, facilitating collaborative team structures. All team members can easily keep an overview of the location of all devices in their fleet \u2013 whether laser tracker, CMM or portable measuring arm \u2013 and ensure all are up to date and properly calibrated and certified, even receiving alerts in the case of shock events or status changes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new Absolute Tracker AT500 \u2013 which comes bundled with a full 12-month licence for Hexagon\u2019s advanced measurement software platform Inspire \u2013 is available for order immediately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
