Zenco Metrology - FARO Scan Arm

FARO® Quantum Max

The Next Generation ScanArm

Now the tradition continues with the all-new Quantum Max ScanArm and its three hot-swappable FAROBlu® LLPs that meet any measurement need. With options to dramatically increase the scanning speed or resolution, getting the job done as quickly and precisely as possible has never been easier. With maximum flexibility, extended arm reach and a redesigned end effector with dual kinematic LLP mounts, value and productivity is maximized by over 30%. The Quantum Max features the fastest, most detailed scanning available on the market today, accelerating project completion time while enhancing overall productivity.

Features

Maximum Versatility

The new Quantum Max offers 2 times the versatility from previous models. Dual kinematic seats allow for hard probe and LLP interchangeable mounting positions to easily move the LLP from top to front mount, enabling greater access to small spaces or hard to reach areas without the need to recalibrate. The quick release handle also offers dynamic holding options.

Maximum Performance

Three FaroArm models offer basic, standard, and premium performance options—available in various working volumes from 2.0m to 4.0m. Improved rigidity and stability deliver optimized accuracy and repeatability with superior performance while maintaining shop-hardened ruggedness for use in the harshest factory environments. The new 2.0m working volume arm delivers the best accuracy in its size category.

Maximum Reach

Each Faro Arm model comes with up to 25% longer reach, offering more comfortable articulation for better extension over and around larger objects positioned within its specified working volume. Combined with the FARO exclusive 8-Axis Max rotary worktable, the need to relocate or reposition the device is virtually eliminated—and inspections can be completed in a fraction of the time.

The right LLP is not always a “one size fits all” choice. Sometimes the fastest speed is needed to get the job done quickly. Sometimes the highest accuracy and resolution possible is needed instead. And sometimes, a trade-off of both is preferred. With the Quantum Max, choosing between these options is now seamless. Three unique models help boost productivity collectively or individually. All LLPs come with the exclusive FARO Continuous Light Rectifications (CLR) scanning technology, providing users with the highest quality scan data possible on dark, translucent, and reflective surfaces.

Quantum Max LLPs

With the next-gen Quantum Max, getting the inspection job done as quickly and precisely as possible has never been easier when using multiple LLPs that can be changed in seconds, with no need for recalibration so inspection can continue, virtually uninterrupted.

FAROBlu xR

MAXIMUM RESOLUTION AND ACCURACY

This LLP is ideal for high-precision tasks with tight tolerances to capture data at highest accuracy and best resolution possible. Users can scan small intricate parts and fine details with up to 30% better accuracy and resolution than the xP, improving production quality with better and more reliable data.

FAROBlu xP

MAXIMUM PRODUCTIVITY

This LLP offers the ability to scan anything with a balanced coverage blend of xR accuracy/resolution and xS speed — increasing profitability and throughput with performance suitable for any application.

FAROB lu xS

MAXIMUM SPEED

This LLP is best for large parts or expansive surface areas when data collection speed is top priority. The extra‑wide laser stripe delivers double the coverage in a single pass, allowing users to collect data over 65% faster than the xP. Fewer passes to collect data means faster results and higher productivity.

SmartFactory Ready

FARO CAM2® Software, a powerful 3D measurement platform designed to efficiently complete quality assurance and inspection tasks, is perfectly suited to manage repeat inspection routines with live-trend and statistical process control (SPC) analysis. When combined with the Quantum Max, CAM2’s Repeat Part Management feature allows guided inspection routines to be pre-programmed into the software. Every operator can now perform the exact same inspection routine, thus minimizing variability and maximizing repeatability. Data records are digitally stored, analyzed, and maintained so trends can be identified and appropriate actions are taken when parts begin to deviate from their nominal tolerances.

Gage Max FaroArm®

A New Standard in Performance and Affordability

The all-new FARO® Gage Max is our most affordable 3D Coordinate Measuring Machine (CMM). It is also the most accurate FaroArm ever produced, and allows for confident measurements across a wide range of industrial uses at a value that delivers a significant return on investment (ROI).

Ideal for small-size, high-accuracy tasks, the Gage Max is the most intuitive, ergonomic and versatile articulated portable CMM, enabling machine shops to meet their most demanding quality specifications. Additionally, the Gage Max minimizes clutter from traditional hand tools such as calipers, micrometers and height gauges. These traditional tools only measure a single dimension at a time. Isn’t it time to effortlessly measure in 3D?

Designed with the precision of a lab instrument and the ruggedness of a shop floor device, the Gage Max sets up in seconds, reduces inspection time and delivers quality results with exceptional flexibility, resulting in increased through put and productivity.

Reliance on hard-to-use and expensive fixed CMMs is virtually eliminated, thanks to best-in-class performance for hard probing applications. The Gage Max eliminates inspection bottlenecks, improves conventional measurement instruments, and reduces variability from one operator to another.

The Gage Max sets a new industry benchmark in compact performance and affordability, extending FARO’s tradition of maximum measurement accuracy, consistency, and reliability in every working environment.

Super 6DoF TrackArm

The Most Versatile Portable 3D Measurement System

The FARO® Super 6DoF TrackArm is the most versatile portable 3D measurement system that brings together the latest advancements in FARO’s 3D measurement technology to deliver a solution that allows flexibility, ease of use and un-compromised accuracy for your most demanding 3D measurement needs. The system combines the long-range and high accuracy capabilities of FARO’s Laser Tracker with the flexibility, detail, and consistency of the FaroArm® and/or ScanArm.

The Laser Tracker locates the FaroArm into a common coordinate system through a simple motion of the FaroArm, after which the measurement process can start. Points from all measurement locations can then be combined and visualized in real-time within the measurement software and compared to the nominal data.

The FaroArm enables flexible measurement of any object where even hidden points around corners and inside features can be reached. This gives the FARO Super 6DoF TrackArm the unique capability of reaching hidden points even if they are out of the Laser Tracker’s line-of-sight, while still maintaining the measurement integrity of the entire system. This seamless combination also allows the FaroArm to be quickly repositioned anywhere within the Laser Tracker’s measurement range while remaining in the same coordinate system. Additionally, the system allows for multiple FaroArms to be simultaneously used in conjunction with one Laser Tracker as long as they are within the same coordinate system. This flexibility offers multiple measurement possibilities on large objects that would normally be beyond the reach of a single FaroArm by itself.

FARO’s Super 6DoF TrackArm delivers fast, precise 3D measurement without compromise. Best of all, the FaroArm and Laser Tracker are stand-alone portable CMMs that can also be used independently or in combination to create this multi-purpose FARO Super 6DoF TrackArm system.

Features

Seamless combination of two, or more, portable CMMs into one complete large-volume measurement solution
6DoF (6-Degrees-of-Freedom) capabilities with no hidden point restrictions
Ultimate portability with cable-free operation
