All OPTOTRAK systems allow full 6DOF tracking of an object’s position and orientation, and can take thousands of measurements per second as the object moves through space. This high-fidelity motion-capture ability has made NDI’s OPTOTRAK 3020 and Certus systems very popular in the motion research sector.

OPTOTRAK PROseries, NDI’s flagship metrology system, is an optical Portable CMM solution created specifically for the industrial metrology sector. It features a universal Optical Tracker and incorporates NDI’s target-basedIRED design into digitizing probes and laser scanners to provide an armless, wireless, and beamless measurement solution with excellent accuracy.

 

 

ScanTRAK is NDI’s latest industrial innovation, offering the combined power of handheld laser scanning, contact probing, and the exceptional ease of- use provided by NDI’s Optical Tracker. An integrated Multi-Sided Probe (MSP) allows operators to freely orient ScanTRAK in all six degrees of freedom (6DOF) without beam break issues or mechanical restrictions, dramatically improving productivity. The MSP has a convenient mounting system that requires no tools, allowing it to be easily and repeatedly attached to various objects for greater utility. The precalibrated, multi-faceted target configuration allows the system to continuously maintain tracking as the MSP rotates a full 360 degrees about all three axes. This unique design offers unlimited range of motion without any off-angle limitations. NDI’s Optical Tracker can do more than any other technology with its ability to track the complex 6DOF motion of many objects simultaneously. The (MSP) Probe system utilizes standard Renishaw components to provide a large array of components and replacement part support.

 

 

NDI and PolyWorks® are integrated through a plug-in that supports the OPTOTRAK® PROseries ScanTRAK system for non-contact digitization of large objects, as well as the OPTOTRAK PROseries Portable CMM for the measurement of hidden geometry and complex shapes. NDI users can perform point cloud and probed-based data acquisition and data analysis directly from the software interface, providing live results and instant feedback on the quality of the part being measured.

 

 

 

Capture the fast, complex motion of multiple objects over large volumes with exceptional precision using NDI's Dynamic Measuring Machine (DMM). The NDI Dynamic Measuring Machine is one of the most powerful and capable tools for advanced motion analysis. The DMM uses an Optical Tracker to track specially designed targets that mark specific points of interest. The Optical Tracker's most powerful feature is the unique ability to track how 3D and 6DOF measurements change over time, adding a new dimension to industrial metrology by allowing for dynamic motion measurement. Move beyond the limitations of conventional displacement sensors, strain gages and accelerometers. A user friendly interface eliminates complicated learning curves, allowing new users to collect and analyze motion data almost immediately.
