FARO Technologies, Inc. offers its Quantum X FaroArm Series, a configurable and scalable metrology solution.
The Quantum X FaroArm Series offers five length options ranging from 2.0 m to 4.0 m and three accuracy performance levels, allowing customers to tailor the solution to their specific measurement needs. The series delivers up to a 15% increase in accuracy compared to previous generation models, pushing the boundaries of precision in portable CMMs. This accuracy is evident in its ability to achieve up to 23 µm volumetric accuracy for 2.0 m arms and up to 63 µm for 4.0 m arms. In noncontact scanning, it delivers 30 µm accuracy with a scan rate of up to 1.2 million points per second and 15 µm point spacing, providing detailed scans at high speeds.
The series includes several features designed to enhance productivity and accuracy. The integration of Laser Line Probes (LLP) enables noncontact measurement with various options. This versatility allows for efficient scanning and probing, maximizing resolution and accuracy while reducing measurement time. Users can hot-swap between multiple LLPs in seconds without the need for compensation, providing virtually uninterrupted inspection. A standout feature is the FARO 8-Axis Max rotary worktable, which reduces scanning and probing time by up to 40%. This addition allows for quick measurement of all sides of a part without repositioning, maintaining high accuracy while reducing operator fatigue. The series also incorporates Continuous Light Rectification (CLR) technology, enabling scanning of dark, reflective or translucent surfaces with any LLP, expanding the range of materials that can be accurately measured.
Designed with user comfort and reliability in mind, the FaroArm features a lightweight and balanced construction, enhancing productivity during extended measurement sessions. The internal counterbalancing system allows for single-hand operation, limiting fatigue and preventing damage to the FaroArm when a joint is unable to hold the weight. Complying with rigorous ISO 10360 performance standards, the series ensures consistent and reliable measurements. Temperature and overload sensors further provide continuous, optimum performance under various conditions. The series seamlessly integrates with FARO CAM2 Software, streamlining data processing and analysis for comprehensive quality control and decision-making. High-speed wireless operation with Bluetooth or Wi-Fi connectivity enables flexibility and ease of use in various environments.
As a modular and portable solution, the FaroArm offers easy set-up and transport, making it suitable for diverse environments from shop floors to field applications.
"This flexibility, combined with its adaptability to access hard-to-reach locations, makes it significantly more versatile than bulkier fixed CMMs, requiring less technical expertise to operate and helping to accelerate assembly workflows," said a company spokesperson. "The series caters to a wide range of applications in quality control, fabrication and design, supporting dimensional accuracy verification, production machinery calibration and rapid prototyping, making it an invaluable tool across various manufacturing sectors."
