    Active Target (hereinafter referred to as AT) is an advanced accessory product for laser trackers launched by API in 2009
    .


    Over the past ten years on the market, AT has become an indispensable part of many measurement solutions


    The AT active target is a patented technology unique to API
    .


    During the measurement process, no matter where the beam is in the space and how it moves, the AT active target will always automatically lock the laser.


    AT active target and laser tracker are widely used in the verification and calibration of multi-axis complex motion equipment
    .


    Applications include industrial robots, large-scale multi-axis machine tools, multi-dimensional motion rig, rail transportation, aerospace equipment and assembly


    Main advantages:

    Ø Regardless of the position of the beam in space and whether it moves, the AT active target will always lock the laser beam, even if the target moves quickly

    Ø During machine tool measurement, CMM or CNC movement can be tracked automatically without manual

    Ø Large range of angles of use: the horizontal rotation angle reaches 360° stepless rotation, and the vertical rotation angle reaches +80°

    To -55°

    Ø The tracking distance is long, which can reach more than 40 meters, which is especially suitable for large-scale trajectory tracking and detection

    Ø Provide installation chuck, threaded connection, easy to install on robots and other devices

    Ø The best hardware solution for AGV trolley robot, 360° measurement without limit

    Ø Built-in lithium battery, can work continuously for 16 hours

    Classic case one:

    The picture below is the turntable test site of a heavy machine tool factory
    .


    Use API laser tracker and AT active target to calibrate and compensate the 4m diameter turntable angle accuracy


    Fix the AT active target on the edge of the rotating table, and use the automatic stable point measurement mode
    .


    The rotating table rotates to a fixed angle according to the programmed program, and the tracker automatically measures when it is in place


    Classic case two:

    The figure below is the installation and debugging site of a signal detection room (anechoic chamber)
    .


    The diameter of the swing arm is more than 10 meters, and precise angular positioning is required


    Other classic cases:

    Detection of angular accuracy and dynamic performance of a turntable with a diameter of 20 meters and a height of 18 meters

    In summary, API laser tracker equipped with AT active target can meet the needs of more detection content in terms of scope and accuracy.
    At the same time, it can realize unmanned intervention in the whole measurement process, reduce the labor intensity of inspectors, and improve safety.
    The trend of automation and intelligent detection
    .


    API company will continue to provide customers with more superior measurement solutions to help "Made in China 2025"
