Product catalog summary
Overview: The Polaris Vega® series offers a range of optical trackers known for their exceptional measurement accuracy and reliability. These devices are designed for various applications, providing flexibility and integration capabilities for OEM systems.
Polaris Vega® ST: This standard optical tracker provides volumetric accuracy of 0.12 mm RMS over a large measurement volume. It features Ethernet connectivity and optional enhancements like an Extended Pyramid Volume and Positioning Laser for increased flexibility.
Polaris Vega® VT: This model uniquely combines HD video and IR tracking, allowing for real-time alignment of video and tracking data. It supports different camera resolutions to capture high-contrast images effectively.
Polaris Vega® XT: The most advanced model in the series, it offers high volumetric accuracy with minimal noise, low latency (below three milliseconds), and a high frame rate (up to 400 Hz). It is suitable for real-time integration into systems like robot-assisted surgery.
Model Comparison: All models share sub-millimetre measurement accuracy and reliability. They differ in features such as frame rate, latency, and additional functionalities like HD video and radiation hardening.
Specifications:
  • Volumetric Accuracy RMS: 0.12 mm (Pyramid), 0.15 mm (Extended Pyramid)
  • 95% Confidence Interval: 0.20 mm (Pyramid), 0.30 mm (Extended Pyramid)
  • Maximum Frame Rate: 60 Hz (ST, VT), 400 Hz (XT)
  • Latency: < 3 ms (XT), < 16 ms (ST, VT)
  • Ethernet Connectivity and UDP Protocol Support
  • Dimensions: 591 mm x 103 mm x 106 mm
  • Weight: 1.7 kg, 2.15 kg with radiation hardening
Additional Features: Options for custom branding, extended pyramid, positioning laser, and radiation hardening are available, enhancing the functionality and adaptability of the trackers.
Disclaimer: The Polaris series is a general-purpose metrology instrument not approved for medical use. Suitability for specific applications must be determined by the OEM or end user, with necessary testing and validation.

Polaris Vega Model Comparison-1

*Simulated example of OEM application Polaris Vega Model Comparison ® The strength of the Polaris product suite lies in the commonalities and differences of its optical trackers. All share the same foundation of sub-millimetre measurement accuracy and reliability. All are engineered and manufactured to deliver superior tracking performance. But it’s their differences that provide boundless opportunities for customizing and integrating into OEM system workflows. Our standard optical tracker delivers This industry-first optical tracker combines Our most advanced optical tracker delivers exceptional measurement accuracy and HD video and IR tracking to capture a live volumetric accuracy to 0.12 mm RMS with reliability – hallmarks of our entire Polaris or recorded view of tracked tools within the minimal noise, an average latency below three line. Volumetric accuracy to 0.12 mm RMS measurement volume. Video data and IR milliseconds, and a frame rate as high as is achieved over a large measurement tracking data are aligned in real time to a 400 Hz, for measurement data that is capable volume, with tracking data streamed via common frame of reference. Different of real-time integration into robot-assisted Ethernet. An optional Extended Pyramid camera resolutions and settings maximize surgery systems. Tight data synchronization Volume and Positioning Laser augment the capture of high-contrast images. and Ethernet connectivity add to best-in-class measurement perform
