Features and benefits
The Scanning Absolute Distance Meter (ADM)
The ATS600’s Scanning ADM helps you to accurately measure points in 3D space with or without a reflector. This allows single-point laser tracker measurements and surface digitisation from up to 60 metres away, achieving flexible and contactless measurement.
Variable point density
Customise the density of the surface measurement grid to balance speed and data quality. This gives you full control over the level of detail required for your application, improving efficiency without compromising accuracy.
Selective scanning
Focus only on the areas you need to measure by defining the target area with the integrated Overview Camera or CAD data. This eliminates unnecessary data collection and simplifies the scanning process.
Operator independence
No target or operator is needed at the measurement point, reducing costs and making the ATS600 ideal for automated processes. Its fully independent operation streamlines workflows and improves efficiency.
Metrology workflow
The ATS600 works seamlessly with all standard metrology software, integrating into your existing workflows for easy data analysis and processing.
PowerLock
The PowerLock function automatically re-establishes an interrupted line-of-sight during reflector measurements, ensuring continuous tracking without you having to interact with it.
Combined measurement
Combine direct scanning for surfaces and reflector measurements for features in the same process. This dual capability gives you accuracy with the flexibility for large-scale inspections and assembly tasks.
Battery power
Hot-swappable battery power makes the ATS600 portable and cable-free, permitting you a quick setup in any location, which is perfect for large-scale worksites.
WiFi connectivity
Built-in WiFi adds to the portability of the ATS600, enabling easy control and operation by a single user without additional equipment.
IP54 certified
The ATS600’s IP54-certified sealed design protects against dust and contaminants, ensuring reliable performance in harsh environments.
MeteoStation
An integrated environmental monitor records temperature, pressure, and humidity, ensuring accurate measurements even in challenging conditions.
Orient to Gravity (OTG)
The OTG function aligns the Z-axis to gravity, making it ideal for levelling and alignment tasks like building and inspecting tool and jig fixtures.
All-in-one design
Weighing less than 15 kilograms, the ATS600 is highly portable and securely fits into a single small flight case, making it easy to transport.
Real-time asset management
Fully compatible with Metrology Asset Manager, the ATS600 supports your smart manufacturing strategies by providing real-time performance data through a centralised, user-friendly dashboard.
