Fast, accurate measurements for large-scale applications
Measuring large parts, molds, assemblies and machines used to be a challenging, time-consuming process and often had to be performed in a special inspection area. Portable FARO Vantage Laser Trackers make on-site measurement easy and fast, reducing inspection cycle times by up to 75%. They measure 3D coordinates by tracking a target that the user moves from one point to another on the object being measured. In seconds, these measurements can be compared against nominal CAD data so teams can either make informed adjustments or move forward with confidence.
New to the VantageS6 Max and VantageE6 Max family of Laser Trackers is more accurate 6DoF probing, which helps speed up inspections and reduce the number of device moves. With the higher accuracy of the Vantage Max, users can probe more points beyond the line of sight and without tooling changes, resulting in a productivity improvement of 20% compared to lower accuracy probes.
FARO® Vantage Laser Trackers
Capture accurate and complete measurements of buildings, facilities and complex environments with confidence
The FARO® VantageS6 Max and VantageE6 Max Laser Trackers offer comprehensive, large-volume 3D measurement up to 80 meters, significantly streamlining your organization’s processes and reducing inspection cycle times — all while ensuring complete confidence in the results.
Vantage Max laser trackers maximize 6 degrees of freedom (6DoF) measurement capabilities via the optional 6Probe, enabling precise measurement of hidden areas and small features. The 6Probe is a 6DoF solution that meets the dynamic measurement, speed, and accuracy requirements of the most challenging industrial applications. With kinematic self-identifying styli, you can change probing tips quickly and measure without any recalibration, plus measure hidden areas outside of the tracker’s line of sight with wide acceptance angles.
The typical user of the Vantage Max can save up to 60 minutes of time on any given workday — with a total productivity improvement of 20% compared to lower accuracy probes.
The Vantage Max enables organizations to build, inspect and measure products and parts quickly, simply and precisely with exceptional portability, increasing throughput while maintaining high inspection accuracy.

RemoteControls Workflow
FARO’s patented feature enhances workflow by allowing a user to control functions such as live video feed and tracker movements with a mobile phone or tablet.
ActiveSeek™
FARO’s patent-pending feature to quickly and efficiently locate and lock onto a target – allowing the Vantage to follow a moving target, even behind obstacles, and lock onto the target again when it is stable. Stereo cameras with a 50° field of view, the best in the industry, make ActiveSeek effective across a wide footprint.
Exceptional Portability & Ruggedness
With an ultracompact size and integrated WiFi, Vantage Trackers can easily move between locations in a single, easily transportable case. They are rated IP52 and have been rigorously tested for resistance to shock, vibration, temperature cycle, and humidity.
Integrated Absolute Distance Measurement System (iADM)
Vantage is the only tracker that uses one laser to measure angle and distance with iADM to ensure exceptional accuracy. Reliability is improved because errors and drift associated with two-beam tracker technology are eliminated.
