Product catalog summary
Overview
The Active Target is an advanced Spherically Mounted Retroreflector (SMR) designed for automatic positioning. It features motorization technology that ensures the reflector always faces the laser tracker, allowing for automated measurements on various movable platforms where standard SMRs are inadequate.

Key Features
  • Automatic Positioning: The built-in motorization technology automatically positions the reflector to maintain alignment with the tracker.
  • 360° Measurement: The center reflector allows for infinite azimuth rotation, eliminating beam breaks.
  • SMR Grade Target Centering: Maintains SMR grade accuracy with perfect synchronization with Radian laser trackers.
  • Portability: Battery-powered and cable-free, making it essential for machine shops.
  • Mounting Versatility: Lightweight design suitable for CNC machines and robotics with light payloads.

API Active Target-1

ACTIVE TARGET™ Azimuth Tracking Angle Automatic Positioning The award-winning, Active Target is a next generation Spherically Mounted Retroreflector (SMR). This motorized target locks on automatically positions itself so it will never lose the laser beam. Active Target allows for automated measurements on machine tools, robots, CMM or any other movable where the standard SMR could not do the job. FEATURES & BENEFITS Automatic Positioning Active Targets built-in motorization technology automatically positions the the reflector is alsways facing the tracker regardless of movement. 360° of Measurement The center reflector of the motorized target allows 360° rotation of your laser tracker eliminating beam breaks (Infinite AZ rotation). SMR Grade Target Centering Active Target elevtes the ability of a Standard SMR as Radian laser tracker syncs perfectly with its movements. Measurement retain SMR grade accuracy. Portability Battery powered and cable free, Active Target is an essential tool in the machine shop. Mounting Versatility Weighing in at only 1 kg, Active Target is designed to be mounted in CNC machines and Robotics with light payload.
