FARO unveils its most advanced portable CMM ever

Available in eight-foot working volumes and either six- or seven-axis models, the Quantum FaroArm offers accuracy comparable to fixed CMMs, has software that is fully programmable for repetitive measurement, has a smaller footprint on the shop floor, and performs first-article inspections more efficiently.

Like its predecessor, the Platinum FaroArm, users simply guide the Arm's touch-probe along the surface of the object to be measured. The Quantum's laptop computer simultaneously illustrates the 3-D measurements on-screen and records all of the data. It creates a 3-D "blueprint" of a part or machine components, making it an all-in-one portable tool for performing inspections, tool certification, CAD-to-Part analysis, or reverse engineering.
