Dynamic Trackers
Markerless Tracked 3D Scanning for Large Parts & Assemblies
Dynamic tracking keeps the scanner referenced as the operator moves, reducing setup on large parts and complex measurement volumes.
Supported & Serviced by CAMS Across Canada & North America
Tracking the Scanner Instead of the Part
Dynamic tracking systems use an external optical tracker to follow a handheld scanner or probe in real time. Because the tracking reference is carried by the measurement system rather than a dense field of targets on the workpiece, operators can move around large tools, assemblies, fabricated structures, and other components with less surface preparation.
The systems differ in tracking volume, scanner working range, wireless configuration, photogrammetry, probing, and the ability to use individual components independently. CAMS looks at how those choices affect line of sight, repositioning, access, and the measurement task so the system fits the real working environment rather than only the nominal part size.
DYNAMIC TRACKING 3D SCANNERS
PLAN AROUND LINE OF SIGHT, ACCESS AND REPOSITIONING
A larger tracking volume can reduce how often the tracker has to move, but it does not remove occlusion. Deep features, hidden surfaces and work around fixtures or structures may still require a probe, a different scanner position or a planned tracker relocation.
The best system is therefore not simply the one with the largest nominal range. CAMS looks at the real measurement envelope, line of sight, access and whether scanning, probing or photogrammetry will be needed during the same job.
