WHITEPAPER:
Laser trackers have long been a mainstay of the aerospace industry. Automotive manufacturers have also adopted laser trackers for QC and design. The fact is, any industry dealing with large-scale measurements – from small machine shops to medium-sized enterprises to major Tier 1 automotive and aerospace suppliers – all share the potential to realize tremendous benefits by adopting laser tracker technology. But, not all industries that could benefit from using laser trackers do use them. Fortunately, advancements in ease-of-use and lower entry price-point, have combined to bring about the democratization of laser trackers.
