A lighter, faster and more accurate scanning arm December 2007
 
The Laser ScanArm V3 boasts 30 per cent greater accuracy and offers better performance in scanning dark or reflective surfaces than Faro’s V2 models.

The Laser ScanArm V3 – which is compatible with Faro’s Platinum FaroArm and new flagship portable CMM, the Quantum FaroArm – offers several competitive advantages not found on any other device. It is 30 per cent more accurate, ie 35 micron accuracy compared to 50 micron on the V2; it offers Bluetooth cable-free operation so with the Quantum series, users can scan up to 10 m without cables or interface boxes; it has 50 per cent faster warm-up compared to the V2; and is a third lighter than the V2

Faro president and CEO Jay Freeland comments: “The greatest challenge for scanning systems is the ability to accurately model shiny or dark objects. The new Laser ScanArm rises to that challenge, making it the ideal tool for inspection, point cloud-to-CAD comparison, rapid prototyping, reverse engineering, and 3D modelling.”
