PR Newswire (US)
LAKE MARY, Fla., March 25 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- FARO
Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ:FARO), the world market leader in
portable computer-aided measurement arm and laser tracker sales,
today announced that it has developed a Super Mobile Laser Scanner
Kit. "Nearly every application requires a laser scanner to be
repositioned in order to get a comprehensive view," FARO President
and CEO Jay Freeland said. "The new Super Mobile Kit makes scanning
faster and more productive by enabling our customers to take it
anywhere -- whether they're hiking through forests or rough terrain
like in civil engineering, tunnels and mines, forensic scenes or
archaeological excavations." The FARO Laser Scanner LS is a
portable, computerized measurement device that scans, digitally
recreates and records all of an object or area's dimensions,
creating what looks like a "photograph" on the computer screen -
but in 3-D. The captured data can be used to create a digital model
for inspection, reverse-engineering, CAD-to-part comparison,
factory planning, or investigations for industries ranging from
power, process and piping to forensics, surveying and historical
preservation. The Super Mobile Laser Scanner Kit capitalizes on the
FARO LS' compact design. The Kit includes: - A carbon-fiber tripod,
for a super-sturdy, yet light weight setup of the Laser Scanner
from 69 cm to 180 cm - New Wi-Fi/WLAN Scanner Connection enables
users to control scanning from their PDA, mobile phone, laptop or
other Internet-equipped devices, eliminating dependence on heavy
laptops with limited battery life - A scanner-based web server,
which gives scanning control to as many as different users as
needed - without additional license fees - The Laser Scanner
Rucksack (back pack) enables the user to conveniently load and
carry the Laser Scanner and the carbon-fiber tripod over long
distances or confined spaces "With the Super Mobile Kit, FARO
offers its customers a major advancement in ease of use, mobility
and professional handling," Dr. Bernd-Dietmar Becker, FARO's
Director for Marketing & Product Management for Laser Scanning,
said. "The Wi-Fi/WLAN minimizes cables, which makes the FARO LS
simpler to use, faster to set up, safer on the plant floor, and
maintains the integrity of crimes scenes and archaeological sites."
