The Leica Absolute Tracker ATS600 delivers large-scale direct measurement capabilities at three times the accuracy of leading terrestrial scanners while folding the entire measurement process within an established metrology workflow – results are provided immediately on-site with no need for post-processing.
Based on established technology used by high-definition surveying tools, the Enhanced Wave Form Digitiser of the ATS600 combines time-of-flight and phase-shift measurement technology to deliver fast measurement over long distances with no need for a target at the point of measurement. For the first time, the accuracy of this technology has been refined to metrological levels, allowing for non-contact measurement with a range noise of within 80 microns (1σ) – significantly more accurate than previous WFD-based measurement systems.

The original laser tracker capability, 3D measurement is still a vital component of the tracker toolkit. By identifying your point of measurement with a specialised retroreflector, its precise geometry can be recorded in seconds. With a 3D laser tracker, high-accuracy inspection and alignment tasks can be performed over ultra-large measurement volumes of up to 320 metres in diameter.
A 3D laser tracker equipped with an automatic target-lock function like PowerLock can reduce measurement process times by as much as 30 percent by detecting reflector targets within the tracker’s field of view with no need for operator intervention – particularly useful after line-of-sight is broken, as can happen often within a busy work environment.
The first ever direct scanning laser tracker bridges the gap between point-by-point measurement and advanced laser scanning, on a scale previously only matched by terrestrial laser scanners. The Leica Absolute Tracker ATS600 delivers large-scale direct measurement capabilities at three times the accuracy of leading terrestrial scanners while folding the entire measurement process within an established metrology workflow – results are provided immediately on-site with no need for post-processing.
Designed to slip seamlessly into the production process, whether in the quality room or inline, manually operated or robot-mounted and fully automatic.
• All-in-one integrated design.
• Built-in WiFi with true access point functionality.
• Batteries compliant to IATA regulations.
• Independent hot-swappable battery power supply.
• Convenient flight cases for simple transportation.
Industrial automation is long-established as the future of manufacturing. Metrology-enhanced automation is the key to that future. By making automated inspection and production independent of unreliable robot accuracy, metrology tools like laser trackers combine the fine attention-to-detail of manual production with the unbeatable productivity benefits of automated setups.
A retroreflector for every application
Thanks to automatic target location, real-time architecture and the ability to instantly re-establish an interrupted beam, measurements to retroreflectors are performed quickly, accurately and easily. We offer a range of reflectors to meet the needs of any application – take a look at our product catalogue for details on the full range.
