(Brunson: Kansas City, MO) -- Brunson Instrument Co. has released the KinAiry solution for laser tracker field testing. KinAiry is the comprehensive, independent solution for laser tracker evaluation, utilizing NIST’s new Interim Field Test Procedure IR-8016. The KinAiry system provides a set of traceable measurements designed to verify volumetric performance in your environment. The result is a colorized graphical analysis that quickly shows the overall health of your tracker, regardless of make or model.

Traditional laser tracker field checks (e.g., two-face tests and short reference bars) don’t exercise a tracker sufficiently to evaluate performance over larger working volumes, so NIST developed a volumetric test to assess the general health of a tracker in the field. In accordance with the NIST procedure, KinAiry facilitates taking measurements on a 2.3 m reference bar held in various orientations, which are strategically selected to more fully exercise the volumetric measurement capabilities of a tracker.
