Advanced Laser Tracker Measurement
The Leica Absolute Interferometer (AIFM) enables the AT960 to perform high-speed measurements on moving targets. This makes the system particularly useful for dynamic industrial measurement, robotic inspection, machine control, and automated manufacturing applications.

The tracker can deliver measurement data at rates of up to 1,000 points per second, providing the speed required for highly dynamic inspection and automation processes.

PowerLock Automatic Target Lock
The PowerLock technology automatically locates the reflector or probe and can rapidly re-establish the laser beam after an interruption. This reduces the need for manual operator intervention and helps maintain measurement continuity during inspection operations.

For production environments where speed and repeatability are important, automatic target acquisition can significantly simplify laser tracker operation.

6DoF Measurement Capability
The AT960 can be configured for six degrees of freedom (6DoF) measurement, providing position and orientation information for compatible measurement tools. This capability makes the system suitable for advanced inspection, alignment, assembly verification, and automated robotic measurement.

When combined with the appropriate Real-Time Feature Pack and Leica T-Mac, the AT960 can provide high-speed measurement data for automated machine-control applications.

Portable and Easy-to-Use Design
The Leica AT960 is designed for fast deployment. Wireless communication and an optional battery operation configuration reduce the need for extensive setup and cabling.

The integrated colour touch-screen interface provides intuitive control, helping operators configure and operate the tracker efficiently. Leica TrackerPilot check and compensation functionality also allows basic adjustments to be performed in the field.

Its robust design is intended to support reliable operation in industrial measurement environments while reducing the need for frequent calibration and servicing.
