API Services, provider of on-site metrology and laser tracker rental services, has launched a Recertified Laser Tracker platform. API Services is a wholly owned division of Automated Precision Inc. (API) whose CEO, Kam Lau, invented the laser tracker. Laser trackers are said to perform CMM-style measurements quickly and accurately without the part logistics associated with transporting parts to a centralized quality laboratory.
A recertified laser tracker is said to enable first-time tracker users to receive the benefits of the technology at a significant discount compared to buying new. According to API, recent market surveys estimate that the use of laser trackers by the manufacturing industry will increase by 13% per year (CAGR) over the next five years.
All API Recertified Laser Trackers undergo a rigorous factory inspection process and are recertified to the B89.4.19 standard at the API Services IS0 17015-certified facility. Each tracker comes standard with a 12-month full parts and labor warranty. Recertified laser trackers can be supplied with metrology software such as Verisurf, Polyworks and Spatial Analyzer. Trackers are supplied with an initial Spherically Mounted Retroreflector (SMR). Additional tracker accessories are available to customize the laser tracker to customer specific measurement applications.
The comprehensive inventory of pre-owned trackers can be found at used-lasertrackers.com.
