Brief Description:
FARO Laser ScanArm: Users can collect simple point variations with the Arm’s hard probe, then laser scan (up to 19,200 points/sec) the sections requiring larger volumes of data – without adding/removing attachments, untangling cabling, or needing a separate CMM to import data. It’s the industry’s first ever 7-axis contact/non-contact measurement device with a fully integrated laser scanner.
Platinum FaroArm: Available in four- to 12-foot configurations, offers up to .0005” accuracy for inspection, reverse engineering and CAD-to-Part-analysis. It’s ideal for facilities needing GD&T and SPC output. Durable enough for harsh manufacturing environments, yet lighter than standard portable CMMs, it also includes extended-use, on-board batteries. The Platinum FaroArm is now equipped with the popular Bluetooth® wireless technology already available in Quantum FaroArms. Users can now inspect, digitize, then transmit data up to 30 feet (10m) away – even through walls – without having to use cables.
FARO Gage: features up .0004” accuracy, a complete line of accessories, and requires little training. Convenient, fast and intuitive enough for shop-floor personnel to use, the Gage also provides 3-D graphical and tabular SPC reports for QC managers.
