WSP SpaceTrak system is a spatial tracking technology that works similar to GPS for a local area. Like satellites,

the Tracker is installed around the work area to create a spatial tracking envelope; the SpaceTrak sensor is

installed on a tool, or a tool holder, and delivers reliable tool location with 3-6mm accuracy

SpaceTrak™ System Benefits

� Increased Productivity� Visual guided assembly

� Select parameters based on position

� Eliminate manual product identification

� Reduce assembly rework and scrapping

� Increased Quality:� Eliminate missing bolts by counting bolts with position

� Enforce tightening order

� Use right tool on right part

� Eliminate re-hits

� Use correct parameter every time

� Reduce Costs:

� Eliminate scrapping

� Eliminate containment

� Optimize processes

� Eliminate rework

� Process and operator efficiency

Greatly Benefits Productivity, Quality and Costs

Can be daisy chained for larger area

The tracker and sensor are connected to the position controller. The position controller consists of software

that uses ultrasonic time of flight methods, closed loop communications and triangulation methods to

generate 3D position data.
