FAROARM

FARO OFFERS THE WORLD'S BEST MEASUREMENT ARM

The FaroArm is the preeminent portable coordinate measuring machine (PCMM) that allows manufacturers easy verification of product quality by performing 3D inspections, tool certifications, CAD comparison, dimensional analysis, reverse engineering, and more.

The FaroArm has become the global standard for arm technology and has been specifically designed to meet the diverse and ever-increasing requirements of both large and small-to-medium manufacturing customers. The FaroArm is built from nearly three decades of manufacturing innovation and experience to enable highly-precise and reliable 3D measurements of both large and small parts during production and quality assurance processes.

Now, with the release of the FARO? Quantum product line, FARO has again redefined the market expectations for arm technology.

The FARO QuantumS and QuantumM are the first Arms in the market that can be verified against the international certification standard, ISO 10360-12:2016, which ensures maximum measurement consistency and reliability in a wide range of work environments.

Features:

FARO has again pushed the envelope in terms of performance and user experience and extends its patent portfolio with new and unique QuantumS and QuantumMfeatures:

• Compliance with international standard - The QuantumS and QuantumM are certified to ISO 10360 -12:2016, the most rigorous international measurement quality standard in existence and test to the International Electrical Commission (IEC 60068-2) standards for shock, vibration and temperature stress relief.
• Excellent ergonomics and usability - New ergonomic design, overall weight optimization, combined with new features, such as the FARO kinematic intelligent probes, which provide unparalleled user experience allowing for quick probe replacement without the need to recalibrate.
• High Speed Wireless Operation - Robust-WiFi?- new sophisticated electronic design delivers superior reliability and guarantees optimal wireless operation for scanning and probing.
• Extended Battery Use - Dual hot swappable batteries support prolonged cable-free operation of the device, making it easy to go to the part without the need for external power.
• Blue Laser Scanning - Both QuantumS and QuantumM can also be deployed with the FAROBluT Laser Line Probe HD, the next generation of blue line laser technology that enables five times faster scanning than the previous generation, including complex surfaces comprised of dark and reflective materials.

FARO LASER TRACKER


Portable, Large-Scale, High-Accuracy 3D Measurement.
VantageS: Short-to-long range measurement applications up to 80 m.
VantageE: Short-to-medium range measurements up to 35 m.


LARGE-SCALE, 3D METROLOGY IS NOW FASTER AND EASIER THAN EVER BEFORE

The FARO Vantage Laser Trackers are extremely accurate, portable coordinate measuring machines that enable you to build products, optimize processes, and deliver solutions by measuring quickly, simply and precisely. These Laser Trackers feature FARO's patent-pending ActiveSeekTM capability to quickly sync up the user and the tracker to measure faster than any other laser tracker in the market today.

Vantage Laser Trackers optimize workflow productivity management for large-scale metrology applications including, but not limited to, assembly alignment, part and assembly inspection, machine installation and alignment, and reverse engineering.

FARO VANTAGES AND VANTAGEE LASER TRACKER

• ActiveSeek ActiveSeek capabilities increases the efficiency of Laser Tracker operations by mitigating time lost from the laser identifying and finding the target, as well as from losing the laser when walking behind objects and/or obstructions. The Vantage will continue to track the user after the beam is broken, reconnecting automatically to the target when the target reappears.?
  

  ActiveSeek makes operation of the Vantage faster and easier by allowing the user to move from one location to the next without the concern that the laser will be disconnected or lose the target. The user does not have to be a tracker expert and for new users, the learning curve is greatly reduced.

• Target AcquisitionQuickly and efficiently locate and lock onto a target in two additional ways: SmartFind: Easily find and lock onto the closest target in the cameras' field of view. This capability is ideal for setting up measurements on complex tooling or structures. Gestures: In situations where there are multiple targets, ActiveSeek would typically point the Vantage to the nearest target. If the user wants the Vantage to locate a different target, the ActiveSeek Gestures (Find Me) capability allows the user to make a simple gesture movement to have the Vantage find and lock onto the desired target.
• RemoteControls Workflow:FARO's patent-pending RemoteControls feature enhances workflow by allowing a user to control the movements and other functions of the Vantage with a mobile phone or tablet. Live video feed from the targeting cameras is displayed on the mobile device so that a single operator can control the tracker from anywhere in the measurement area. Remote on/off and scheduled warm-up improve workflow by making the Vantage ready for immediate operation when the user begins measuring.
• Integrated Absolute Distance Measurement System (iADM) The patent-pending, 6th generation iADM ensures exceptional accuracy. The VantageS and VantageEare the only laser trackers that measure angle and distance with one laser. Reliability is improved because errors and drift associated with two-beam tracker technology are eliminated. The laser is Class 1 (eye safe).
• Super 6DoF (Degrees of Freedom) FARO's patented Super 6DoF solution allows the Vantage and one or more FARO ScanArms to work together to create an integrated 3D measurement solution across a single coordinate system. Super 6DoF completely eliminates line-of sight challenges and significantly expands measurement range while maintaining superior accuracy.
• Stereo Color Targeting Cameras The high-resolution, two-camera system enables the ActiveSeek feature to assist in locating the target quickly and efficiently. They operate in all lighting conditions from complete darkness to bright sunlight.
• Exceptional Portability With no external master control unit (MCU), the VantageS and VantageE are the most portable FARO Laser Trackers ever built. Their compact size makes them incredibly easy to move between locations in the factory or on job sites in a single, easily transportable case.
• Hot-Swappable Battery Continuous operation is available with a hot-swappable battery pack for even more portability, completely eliminating the need for AC power.
• Integrated Wi-Fi For enhanced portability and convenience, measurements can be taken with the improved WiFi, which supports faster connection time, greater range, and allows the Vantage to act as a WiFi access point. WiFi and wired Ethernet are both active, enabling connection with a PC and a wireless device simultaneously.
• Rugged Design The Vantage can be used in demanding industrial conditions and has been rigorously tested for resistance to shock, vibration, temperature cycle, and humidity. There is even a built-in shock absorber that compensates for any rough handling that could occur while the Vantage is being mounted. The Vantage is rated IP52 for dust and water resistance.
• Versatile Mounting Robust tracking enables the Vantage to be mounted on a variety of stands in many configurations including vertically, horizontally, upside down, or even at an angle to fit in tight, congested areas.
• Fast Data Acquisition With a data output rate of 1,000 points per second, the VantageS and VantageE provide feedback for high-speed motion control and high-density scanning, making them ideal for automated applications
• Integrated Weather Station Temperature, air pressure, and humidity can affect measurements. The Vantage monitors these variables and compensates accordingly to ensure accuracy.
