How the FARO Vantage works

The operation of the Laser Tracker is easy to understand – it measures two angles and a distance. First, the Tracker sends a laser beam to a retroreflective target held against the object to be measured. Light is then reflected off the target and retraces its path, re-en-tering the Tracker at the same position it left. As light re-enters the Tracker, two angle encoders measure the elevation and rotational angles while a highly accurate absolute distance meter is used to determine the 3D position of the retroreflector
