Faro launches innovative, versatile measurement arm
1 min read
The Faro Edge is a portable measurement arm that allows manufacturers to easily verify their product quality by performing inspections, tool certifications, CAD-to-part analysis, and reverse engineering via hard probing and non-contact laser scanning.
"The Faro Edge was designed with our customers' input and built with our experience," states Jay Freeland, Faro president and CEO. "It offers unparalleled simplicity for the user while maintaining all the existing benefits of a FaroArm."
The all-new Edge features the first ever integrated personal measurement assistant. With its built-in touchscreen and on-board operating system, the Edge revolutionises portable metrology by providing stand-alone basic measurement capability. A laptop is no longer needed to perform quick and simple dimensional checks, or to optimise system performance with its on board diagnostic routines.
Available in three popular working volumes and 7-axis configuration, the Edge is suitable for any portable non-contact measurement application, taking the guesswork out of which length is right for the job. Seven axis of rotation ensures flexibility. Its wider laser stripe significantly increases scan coverage without sacrificing accuracy, while variable capture rates can produce over 45,000 points per second for exceptional speed and feature definition.
