The PST Iris series has the largest tracking range of the PST tracking family.
PST Iris is the ideal solution for tracking objects in larger working areas. It is also a good choice for situations where the PST can not be positioned close to the tracking target. It is ideal for use in measurement tasks, monitoring a working environment or larger simulation environments.
