Automated Precision Inc. is a world leader of advanced metrology solutions for industry.
Founded by Dr. Kam Lau in 1987, API has pioneered progressively higher standards of accuracy for coordinate measuring and machine tool operation. API products are installed and used by all of the world's leading automotive, aerospace, machine tool, and CMM manufacturers. API's experienced engineering team is unmatched in its ability to create advanced innovative products, which meet the needs of rapid evolving industrial technologies. API is an active member of, and a key technology partner in several federal and industry sponsored programs for the advancement of various manufacturing scenarios.

Laser Trackers
API invented the laser tracking interferometer and holds the basic patent on tracker technology. In 1989 API licensed its tracker technology to Leica and aided in the development of the first commercial trackers. To date, hundreds of Leica Trackers utilizing API technology have been sold worldwide. API Tracker II™ second generation tracker's improves on the technology while reducing size and weight to increase portability with improved reliability and accuracy. API, working with NIST, has set many standards in the industry. This experience has enhanced API technological richness, which is imperative for research, development and production. API is prepared and equipped to provide hardware and software solutions for all complex problems encountered in the industry. The results are improved machine tool performance, failure, prevention, significantly improved machine part accuracies and enhanced ISO9000 Compliance for manufacturing calibration standards.

Metrology Instruments
API has pioneered the development of many advanced measuring and sensing systems. Included are the company's high precision 2D and 3D digital scanning and probe systems, as well as an articulated CMM probing wrist. API's open architecture CMM controller provides a standard hardware and software sensor interface and uses a standard interface protocol which was jointly developed with NIST, Ford, GM and Pratt & Whitney. API's innovative patented, 5/6D Laser™ interferometer systems simultaneously measure linear straightness as well as pitch, yaw and roll. Use of the 5/6D systems reduces the time required for machine tool or CMM alignment down to 3 hours. API also produces advanced spindle dynamic and thermal analysis systems, and a complete thermal and geometric error mapping (Volumetric Error Compensation) system for real-time compensation of CMM or CNC machining systems. API also offers a unique rotary and tilt axis measurement and calibration system.

Hardware, software and training
API is dedicated to providing solutions for precision measurement and sensing challenges encountered in a manufacturing environment. API provides these solutions - hardware, software, training and service - with a professional, customer-responsive approach, which is innovative, practical and cost effective. API is continuously engaged in research and development related to advanced sensor and error correction concepts.

Headquarters
Automated Precision, Inc. (API), has relocated their headquarters and advanced manufacturing facilities to a newly-constructed two-story $4.6 million dollar, 45,000 square-foot building in Rockville, MD. The new API facility employs critical environmental HVAC controls, an enlarged precision machine shop, an extended 27 meter precision laser measurement rail for calibration, and secure T1 communications /data handling capability, which is necessary to support the production and distribution of its state-of-the-art-portable coordinate measurement and metrology product lines.

API is the recognized technology leader in the development and manufacture of Laser Tracker and Laser Measurement Systems.
API has sold its technology solutions and products to the U.S. Dept. of Defense, aerospace, transportation, automotive, machine tool, robotics, and shipbuilding/repair industries for over a decade. The company's customers use API products for improving the precise calibration of machines, for continuous improvement and quality control of machine parts, for rapid prototyping through reverse engineering of measured structures or discrete parts, for alignment of power train/power transmissions elements, and for ISO 9000 manufacturing process improvements. API's five US offices, its Asian office in Beijing, China and its extensive network of partnerships with recognized industry representatives throughout the world insure that all customers have quality local support.
