Information for the Standard Shanked Nest and the Diamond Shank Nest Available with the Laser Tracker
The standard Shanked Nest (commonly called a pin nest) used with the FARO® Tracker has a pin or shaft that is cylindrical and allows it to be placed in small holes or round bushings.
The "diamond shank" is a standard shanked nest that has two parallel flat sides machined out of the original cylindrical shaft. They can be used to measure slots or slotted bushings.
