A measuring device can provide reliable service for a very long time. New devices continue to evolve and are therefore faster than older models. While the measurement accuracy of older devices is still top-notch, the process itself becomes more time-consuming.
For this reason, sigma3D decided to replace its old Leica AT 901 tracker with a new Leica AT 960. This device was chosen because it allows the T-Probe—which is still available from the previous model—to continue being used without any loss of accuracy.
Last week, our long-time partner Olaf Wienke from Hexagon Manufacturing Intelligence stopped by to commission the tracker together with the sigma3D staff. Mr. Wienke also shared some of his tracker-specific insights, which the staff greatly appreciated.
In typical sigma3D fashion, a new Tracker is, of course, first subjected to internal testing to ensure that it meets the company’s standards. It’s also common for there to be a certain adjustment period between the device and the staff, because even a measuring device like this has its own personality.
