Jeetendra Patra,
Country Business Manager of the company speaks to City Express about their activities and recent developments.
What are the main activities undertaken by API?
We are the inventor of the Laser Tracker and have pioneered the development of many advanced measuring and sensing systems. Other than laser tracker, these include autocollimators, rotary calibration devices, alignment lasers, high precision 2D and 3D digital scanning and probe systems, as well as an articulated CMM probing wrist. API is continuously engaged in research and development to better enhance manufacturing capability of our clients and the quality of the products they produce.
We also deal in Laser Interferometer, IC360 and all Machine Tool Calibration products and thereby support all our customers with a dedicated service and Calibration facility and service team which can help our customers to solve all technical matters.
Along with selling the all API metrology products API offers services which has several additional measurement and metrology instruments available for rental. So whether somebody is looking to rent a laser tracker or you need something else, they contact us.
Laser tracker rental can be very important to a business and API Services understands that choosing the right metrology equipment can help you save time and money.
What are the services and offers from API?

What is the latest development from API Inc.?
Recently, API announced the release of the latest generation of its hand-held probing and scanning instrument, the I-360.
The new I-360 features an ergonomic handle grip that is easier to use when taking measurements and a lighter body weight of just 3 pounds.
This maneuverability can be critical to getting accurate measurements of hidden angles or cavities where traditional measuring tools and trackers cannot easily reach.
This latest version of the I-360 builds upon API’s record of developing versatile products with a range of applications.
The I-360 suite of products, which include probeonly, scanner-only, probe/ scanner combination units and wireless probe versions, are most often used for work piece and machine inspections, cavity probing, quality assurance, surface scanning, precision measuring and reverse engineering.
The new version also contains many of the features of previous I-360 models that have made the product line popular among users.
These include the unique, proprietary sensor head that does not require an external camera add-on, giving the system better accuracy that photogrammetry-based systems can achieve.
This sensor head rolls and yaws a full 360 degrees to achieve unlimited acceptance.
Along with an API laser tracker, the I-360 presents a complete measuring system, offering users the precision of a laser tracker with the flexibility of contact and probing measurements.
And API offers this system at a price far below similar product lines.
As the complexity and size of measuring surfaces grows, hand-held scanning and probing devices have become essential parts of the tracker system.
The I-360 is a perfect complement to our Radian laser tracker.
