API Launches Laser Tracker Rental and Rent-To-Own Programs

API starts immediately with the new offer to offer laser trackers also in the rental service

API has announced the launch of its Laser Tracker rental program. The program allows manufacturers to gain access to API’s benchmark RADIAN laser tracker to perform specific measurements, alignments and calibration tasks or overcome periods of bottleneck for its own portable measurement equipment. API trackers can be rented daily, weekly, monthly or for longer periods. Trackers can be supplied complete with metrology software or the customer can utilize their own measurement software license.

API can also provide its RADIAN laser tracker under a Rent-to-Own program whereby rental payments are offset against the cost of a new API tracker. This unique API rent-to-buy program is expected to be popular where a company’s equipment investment process is lengthy but the need for a laser tracker is immediate. The program allows users to get measuring while their internal equipment procurement mechanism remains ongoing.

Trackers can be rented with accessories including the vProbe, which allows CMM style tactile measurements to be performed on large parts on the manufacturing floor. The Laser Tracker rental program is available through API Europe who performs on-site measurement services in Europe in addition to performing laser tracker accuracy verifications in the field and laser tracker calibrations at its certified laboratory.
