FARO Increases Versatility with 3D Laser Scanner
Introducing the industry's first ever seven-axis contact/noncontact measurement device with a fully integrated laser scanner: The FARO Laser Scan Arm.
Unlike other scanning systems, the FARO ScanArm's hard probe and laser scanner can digitize interchangeably without having to remove either component. Users can collect simple point variations with the Arm's hard probe, then laser scan the sections requiring larger volumes of data (more than 19,000 points per-second) - without the wasted time of adding or removing attachments, untangling cabling, or having to use a separate CMM then trying to import the data.
There are no third-party attachments, no external electronics and no cables that interfere with the Arm's infinite rotation ability, so the users get maximum data handling, accuracy and effi ciency in an affordable package - rather than complications of integrating separate technologies. The ScanArm even has an "Auto Material" feature, which samples the object's surface, then adjusts the Scanner's settings to ensure optimal scanning.
The ScanArm is ideal for non-contact measurement applications, including inspection, cloud-to-CAD comparison, rapid prototyping, reverse engineering and 3-D modeling. Users can scan data directly in industry leading Point Cloud and Reverse Engineering software.
