LAKE MARY, Fla., July 1 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- FARO Technologies, Inc. (Nasdaq: FARO - News) the world leader in portable computer-aided measurement hardware and software, announced today that it released an online video demonstration of its highest-accuracy device, the FARO Gage-PLUS.

"Our customers -- machinists and shop floor personnel -- are accustomed to using rulers, micrometers, and calipers," said FARO Technical Product Manager Robert Sanville. "The video walks them through the process of how the FARO Gages are just as user-friendly as those devices, but with advanced capabilities that help them do their jobs faster with less scrap, re-work and labor costs."
The .0004"-accurate FARO Gage or the .0002"-accurate FARO Gage-PLUS are portable CMMs (coordinate measuring machines) that enable users to measure across a wide range of industrial applications. Instead of using inferior hand tools or taking a part to an expensive, traditional CMM in a climate- controlled room, Quality Control personnel can mount the FARO Gage directly to the machine producing the part.
"It gives customers the power of a stationary CMM, but with the simplicity and portability of a hand tool," Sanville said.
The video illustrates that, as the user guides the Gage's tip over the surface of a part, the system's laptop computer records all of the object's measurements in order to verify that it has been made correctly or needs modifications. The Gage then generates detailed, ISO-traceable reports to prove that outgoing and incoming parts are up to spec.
Additional videos will follow for FARO's entire product line, including application-specific demonstrations on how to resolve common quality control, reverse-engineering and inspection issues.
