FARO® Tracer Laser Projectors for Manufacturing – Accurate projection of laser outlines onto large 3D surfaces
Managing bulky and heavy physical templates is both time-consuming and costly. Their use on the manufacturing floor introduces the risk of human error, leading to material waste and expensive rework. FARO Tracer Laser Projectors solve these issues with CAD-driven virtual templating technology.
By projecting precise laser outlines directly onto 3D surfaces or parts, Tracer Laser Projectors provide operators with clear, accurate visual guidance for sequencing tasks and component placement.
These systems can be used to:
-
Position and validate part placement
-
Guide the layup of composite plies in sequence
-
Support visual verification processes
-
Enable accurate paint masking without physical templates
FARO Tracer Laser Projectors enhance accuracy, reduce production errors, and eliminate the need for traditional physical templates—making them an essential tool for modern, high-efficiency manufacturing environments.
