FARO quality control solutions on show at Aero Engineering

At Aero Engineering, stand 507, FARO will run live demonstrations of its 3D measurement devices: Laser Tracker ION, the FaroArm and ScanArm, as well as the FARO Gage.

FARO provides portable 3D measurement solutions for a wide range of industries with the aerospace industry one of FARO's most important areas having customers like Lockheed Martin, Rolls-Royce, GE, Pratt & Whitney, BAE Systems, Boeing and Airbus. The company's products allow manufacturers to perform 3D inspections of parts and assemblies on the shop floor.

David Homewood, area vice president of sales for the UK, France and Benelux, says "At exhibitions we always meet visitors from aerospace companies who are very interested in our portable measurement devices. This year we are presenting our range of contact and non-contact measurement tools like the FaroArm Quantum, a portable measuring arm which measures accurately to within ± .016 mm."

"The visitors can try out how quickly and easily measurements can be carried out using our products. Many of our customers used fixed coordinate measuring machines (CMM) before switching to our portable solutions," Mr Homewood continued. "By using our systems, they can reduce their lead time while improving quality standards. This guarantees a very fast ROI."

In addition the company also offers the FARO Laser Tracker, a portable 3D measurement system for large volume which uses laser technology to accurately measure large parts, tooling and machinery to 0.049 mm volumetric accuracy at 10 m.
