Tracker MINUTEMAN Polhemus
Performant et compétitif
Description
Le Tracker MINUTMAN propose en exclusivité un processeur de signal digital intégré (DSP) ce qui permet d’offrir un système 3D portable abordable avec de bonnes performances. Ce tracker 3D MINUTEMAN peut accueillir jusqu’à 2 capteurs et ce jusque 75 Hz. Ce nouveau processeur offre au tracker MINUTEMAN une très grande stabilité de communication avec le système d’exploitation Windows. MINUTEMAN n’utilise quasiment pas de ressource processeur PC ce qui lui permet d’être connecté sur un mini PC. Également aucune limitation angulaire et ce sur les axes. Ce tracker peut être équipé d’un stylet 3D ergonomique pour faire l’acquisition de points sur objets en appuyant sur un bouton intégré au stylet 3D, ce qui permet d’envoyer les coordonnées XYZ vers un logiciel de dessin ou de rétroconception comme Rhino3D.

Easy Setup and Implementation
Whether you’re upgrading from another tracker or starting at the drawing board, MINUTEMAN is quick and simple to install and implement. The sensors’ mounting brackets have the same hole spacing as standard Polhemus sensors and also match the bracket footprints of most competing systems. As a result, customers can often upgrade to a MINUTEMAN system without drilling new holes.
MINUTEMAN includes powerful software tools. A software developer’s kit (SDK) facilitates rapid integration into custom applications. Full InertiaCube2 emulation software is provided for plug-and-play hardware replacement without having to worry about rewriting code.
Streamlined Components
The highly streamlined MINUTEMAN system includes an electronic E-Pod with an integrated magnetic source, and one external sensor with a removable 7 foot cable. A 17 foot USB cable is included for connecting the E-Pod to the host PC, providing ample installation flexibility. The system can be expanded by adding a second sensor.
Measuring in at 3 by 4 by 1.4 inches (LWH), the compact E-Pod includes the software and hardware required to generate and sense magnetic fields, compute orientation and interface with the host computer via USB 2.0. The E-Pod’s integrated source emits the electromagnetic field that’s used as a frame of reference for tracking the sensor. Power is supplied through the USB connection, eliminating the need for an external power supply. The E-Pod’s built-in tripod mount makes setup and positioning a breeze.
Constructed with a hard plastic casing that’s designed for durability, the sensor detects the magnetic fields emitted by the E-Pod. The lightweight sensor’s orientation is precisely measured as it moves through space. For easy replacement, the cable detaches from the E-Pod and the sensor.
Advanced AC Technology
Polhemus pioneered AC motion tracking and has refined and perfected the technology through numerous generations. Unlike products based on pulsed DC technology, Polhemus trackers are not negatively affected by the earth’s magnetic field, power outlets or electric motors. Because AC tracking is also more accurate and faster, it’s clearly the superior choice. In fact, Polhemus originated pulsed DC technology, but chose not to pursue it because of performance shortcomings.
MINUTEMAN’s advanced AC magnetic technology provides optimal signal-to-noise ratios. There is no need to worry about maintaining a clear line-of-sight between the senosr and source. Unlike sonic or laser devices, MINUTEMAN is not affected by signal blocking and interference.
