FARO TracerSI Laser Projector ® 3D Laser Projector with Advanced Laser Imaging for Guided Assembly and In-Process Verification TracerSI represents a first-of-its-kind advanced laser imager and high-accuracy projection system, with superior scanning capabilities throughout its entire projection volume. The combination of high-contrast imaging, accurate and repeatable projection, and powerful yet easy-to-use BuildIT Projector software establishes a new industry standard for repeatable laserguided assembly. Going beyond virtual templating and positioning, the TracerSI enables targetless, Feature-Based Alignment and In-Process Verification (IPV). The system accurately projects CAD-based laser images onto any surface, providing operators with an intuitive and virtual sequencing solution to outline parts, artifacts, or areas of interest. In addition, FARO’s proprietary IPV technology can scan assembled or placed components to ensure conformance and proper positioning, while detecting errors in real time. As a result, non-conforming parts and assemblies can be identified and fixed immediately, allowing manufacturers to save costs. With FARO’s advanced TracerSI platform, users can now project and inspect with a single system for a powerful and extremely cost-effective solution. Key Features Advanced Laser Imaging Advanced laser imaging creates a visualization of the assembly and enables Feature-Based Alignment, InProcess Verification, and reporting. The high-contrast imager on the TracerSI has significant advantages over conventional cameras: • User-selected resolution which is not limited by range. • Depth of field is equal to maximum projection range. • No lighting limitations for laser-illuminated imagery. Feature-Based Alignment The FARO TracerSI is the only Laser Projector system that fully supports both targeted and advanced targetless alignment. Feature-Based Alignment uses holes and corners on the assembly, rather than using retroreflective targets which must be applied, valued by an external device, and removed after assembly. Targetless setup results in a repeatable alignment process that is easier and faster. Benefits • Reduces the time for layout, set-up, and assembly, significantly increasing production throughput. • Facilitates standardized workflows and minimizes operator variations during assembly. • Detects and reduces manufacturing errors in real time which reduces scrap and rework. • Mitigates use of physical templates: -- Cost and capital expenditure savings versus building, storing and maintaining physical templates and tooling. -- Time savings – faster setup and ability to move directly from CAD to a virtual template. With this FARO-exclusive capability, users can run highresolution image scans to validate the position, identify the absence/presence of features, and automate Foreign Object Debris (FOD) checks. Users significantly improve productivity by proactively identifying non-conformance to enable real-time corrective measures, eliminating costly scrap and rework. Best-in-Class Projection Accuracy and Range The TracerSI is an accurate and repeatable laser-guided assembly system with long-range projection capability. Advanced Trajectory Control (ATC) Proprietary FARO technology provides superior dynamic accuracy and a rapid refresh, rate which minimizes flicker associated with traditional laser projection systems.
