Quantum FaroArm Æ Advancing Measurement One Micron at a Time.

Quality in production begins with accuracy in product measurements. To achieve the

highest levels of accuracy, manufacturers were forced to measure their parts in a

controlled environment using large, expensive coordinate measuring machines.

Until now. FARO has advanced portable measurement beyond levels previously thought

impossible. The Quantum FaroArmÆ has the power to inspect and perform CAD-to-part

analysis in any environment ñ with an 8ft. volumetric accuracy of up to +/-.0007î (+/-18

microns) ñ a fifth the width of a human hair!

Let a FARO engineer solve your toughest measurement challenges with the power and

precision of the Quantum FaroArm.

 

Platinum FaroArm

20 Years in the Making -- the Ultimate Portable CMM with .0005" Accuracy

With the release of the revolutionary Platinum FaroArmÆ portable CMM, FARO

Technologies has invented the worldís most advanced portable CMM in manufacturing

history. It represents the culmination of two decades of R & D with more multiple

pending patents for innovations in accuracy, reliability and ease of use.

The Platinum FaroArmís .0005" accuracy renders traditional CMMs, hand tools and

other portable cmms obsolete. Anyone, anywhere can now inspect, reverse engineer or

perform CAD-to-Part-analysis on parts, fixtures and assemblies with previously unheard

of precision. When you partner that accuracy with its adaptable 3-D measurement

technology and customized zero-training Softcheck Tools (with or without CAD), it is

ideal for forming, molding, fabricating, casting and assembly facilities needing GD&T

and SPC output.

It also features true portability and improved ergonomics.

The Platinum FaroArm is lighter than a standard portable CMM, and includes extended-

use on-board batteries. The portable CMM platform has a universal 3.5" mounting ring

for easy adaptability, while the base offers mounting options that afford "measure-where-

you make-it" capability.

The Arm itself is internally counterbalanced for "neutral buoyancy" and fatigue-free

usage. In fact, overload sensors prevent users from stressing the arm and help ensure

precise measurement, making it "the only arm with feeling."

Platinum series FaroArms are available in 6 or 7 axis configurations. With it's pistol grip

handle, the seven-axis models provide greater flexibility when used with custom probes;

and expands your capabilities with the optional FARO Laser Line Probe. Inverted

configurations are also available for mounting upside-down in confined spaces or hard to

reach areas.

So, instead of spending over $100,000 on an inconvenient, fixed CMM, or settling for

less-accurate portable CMM, use the Platinum FaroArm -- the highest proven accuracy

articulated portable CMM for successful manufacturing, engineering and quality control.

 

Fusion FaroArmÆ Higher Accuracy, Greater Value

Quality in production begins with accuracy in product measurements. To achieve the

highest levels of accuracy, manufacturers were forced to measure their parts in a

controlled environment using large, expensive coordinate measuring machines.

FARO Technologies is pleased to announce the release of our newest portable CMM, the

Fusion FaroArm. Blending styling cues of the new Quantum FaroArm, with a

dramatically lower price and up to 15-percent higher accuracy than the Titanium Series it

replaces, the Fusion FaroArm is the ideal solution for manufacturers.

"Using technological advances we achieved when developing the Quantum, we were able

to create a new entry-level model with .0014-inch (0.036 mm) accuracy and offer it at a

competitive market price," FARO President and CEO Jay Freeland said. "High precision

at this price point is unheard of, and fulfills a sizable market demand."

Let a FARO engineer solve your toughest measurement challenges with the accuracy and

reliability of the Fusion FaroArm.
