FARO® TracerSI and TracerM Laser Projectors accurately project a laser outline onto a surface or object. The Tracer provides a virtual template which operators and assemblers can use to quickly and accurately position components.

In addition to virtual templating and positioning, the TracerSI is the first-of-its-kind advanced laser imager and projection system, with high-resolution image scanning capabilities throughout its entire projection volume. Because laser imaging does not rely on lenses or conventional image capture, the depth of field is equal to the full projection range. There are no lighting limitations since the imaging is laser-illuminated, and there are no limitations on frame size and resolution. Similarly, user-selected resolution is not limited by range. This combination of laser image scanning and accurate projection establishes a new industry standard for repeatable laser-guided assembly.

The high-resolution laser imaging system on the TracerSI enables targetless, feature-based alignment and In-Process Verification (IPV).

With FARO’s advanced TracerSI platform, users can now project and inspect with a single system for a powerful and extremely cost-effective solution.

Laser templates are created using 3D CAD models, enabling the system to visually project laser outlines of parts, which creates virtual and collaborative templates to streamline a wide range of assembly and production applications.
