User Story: Production of Aerospace Parts

Big Parts: Quality Control in the Aerospace Business
A portable laser tracker let Galaxy Tools (Winfield, Kansas) increase not only its machining range, but also the range of its services to customers. The API tracker has been instrumental in letting the shop command much more aerospace business. Aircraft-related work now accounts for 75 percent of the shop's activity.

Opposites attracts - the most leightweighted API Laser Tracker meets the biggest machine tools
Quality-control inspector Mike Anderson is the Galaxy employee who uses the tracker. He says setting it up takes less than an hour. It can be used wherever the part is located in the shop, on or off the machine tool. "It wouldn´t matter if the part is turned upside down and suspended in the air," Mr. Anderson notes.

API: if mobility counts
The API Laser Tracker: Just smaller. With just an unbeatable 8.5 kg and 36 cm overall height, the Tracker3™ is not just lighter and compacter, but even small enough to fit in your cabin luggage when you are on a plane - if you not only have to use planes from time to time, but also have to built them.
