Thursday September 4, 10:30 am ET
COVENTRY, England, September 4 /PRNewswire/ -- FARO, the world leader in portable computer-aided measurement hardware and software, today announced that it has enhanced its Quantum, Platinum and Fusion FaroArm product lines in order to meet the needs of a wider range of applications within its industrial customer base.
Its popular Quantum FaroArm series will now be offered in 1.8m (6-ft.), 2.4m (8-ft.), 3.0m (10-ft.), and 3.7m (12-ft.) lengths, achieving up to 30-percent higher accuracy over the Platinum FaroArm series, the Company's previous generation of technology. The additional sizes, combined with precision of up to 16 microns (0.016mm/.0006"), make the Quantum FaroArm ideal for inspection and reverse engineering of a wide variety of precision components for Aerospace, Automotive, Machine Building and other industries that require the highest levels of accuracy available in a portable device.
"Last September we initiated our phased launch of the Quantum exclusively as an 8-foot model - our best-selling length FaroArm," FARO President and CEO Jay Freeland said. "This latest offering completes the product line and meets the higher accuracy demands of our key markets, especially those working in the Aerospace and Automotive industries."
The Platinum FaroArm series sports a new look bringing it in line with the physics theme of the Company's Quantum and Fusion FaroArms. In addition, the Platinum and Fusion FaroArms are now equipped with the popular Bluetooth® wireless technology already available in Quantum FaroArms. Users can now inspect, digitise, then transmit data up to 10m (30 feet ) away - even through walls - without having to use cables.
"Preferred over Wi-Fi, Bluetooth is the right technology for FaroArm applications resulting in faster set up, extended battery life, and lower power consumption," said Senior Technical Product Manager Orlando Perez.
"Another key feature added to the entire product line is the Sleep Mode that automatically turns off the unit to save energy and extend component life," said Director of Product Management Umesh Cooduvalli.
The new FaroArms will make their debut at the International Manufacturing Technology Show (IMTS) in Chicago on 8th September.
