PowerLock allows the system to detect when a reflector is in view of the
AT960 and automatically locks onto it without operator intervention.
The field of view of PowerLock is 10°, which corresponds to a spot size
of 1750 x 1750 mm at a distance of 10 meters.
When PowerLock is enabled, the tracker moves automatically to lock
onto the reflector when it is on the field of view.
At start-up, the system is automatically initialized. During the initialization
process, all the subsystems in the Absolute Tracker AT960 are initialized
and are verified to be functional. During the initialization process the
sensor moves to safety position. Once the system is ready it will return
back to its initial position.
The Find Reflector function searches for a reflector within a defined
search area and locks onto a target found.
The search pattern depends on the target type, the distance and on the
PowerLock state [On/Off]:
• Off: during the search the Absolute Tracker AT960 moves in a
square spiral pattern to find a reflector. The Absolute Tracker AT960
will lock on automatically when the target position is within the
search area.
• On: the PowerLock automatically locks the marked target.
