API Active Target
The term API Active Target primarily refers to a specialized, motorized measuring accessory used with laser trackers in industrial metrology, manufactured by Automated Precision Inc. (API).
Motorized Targeting
Active Target’s built-in motorized technology automatically orients the reflector to face the laser tracker regardless of part movement.
360° of Measurement
The center reflector of the motorized target has 360° rotation enabling continuous lock-on to the laser tracker and eliminating beam breaks (infinite AZ rotation).
SMR Grade Target Centering
Active Target reflector has the same accuracy as an SMR.
Safe and Easy Use
Battery powered and cable free, Active Target is safe and will not snag on machine parts.
Mounting Versatility
Weighing only 0.9kg (2 lbs), the Active Target is designed to be mounted on industrial robots and CNC machines.
Active Target™ is a battery-powered, self-orienting motorized SMR with full 360° rotation. It locks onto the laser tracker and automatically aligns to the laser beam, enabling automated tracking and measurement of machine tools, industrial robots, and automation systems where standard SMRs cannot perform.
Applications include:
- Volumetric Error Calibration (VEC)
- Machine Tool Inspection
- Robotic Inspection
- CNC Calibration
- Rail Alignment
- CMM Tracking
