LAKE MARY, Fla., Sept. 21 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- FARO
Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ:FARO), the world market leader in
portable computer-aided measurement arms and laser tracker sales,
announced the receipt of an order for 15 FARO Laser Tracker Xi
units from The Boeing Company for Commercial Airplanes Tooling in
the Puget Sound area. "Boeing now has 41 total FARO Trackers in the
area, including those being used on Integrated Defense Systems
programs," FARO President and CEO Jay Freeland said. "We are
pleased to continue the relationship by supplying these additional
units inside Boeing thanks to our exceptional product line and team
support." The FARO Laser Tracker is a portable, three-dimensional
measurement system that uses laser technology to effectively and
accurately measure large parts, tooling and machinery within its
230-ft. range. Set on a tripod, it operates by bouncing a beam off
a movable, reflective target that is guided along the surface to be
measured. By simultaneously measuring two angles and the distance,
the FARO Tracker can pinpoint the position of the target to an
accuracy of up to 0.001 in. As a user moves the target from one
location to another, the device tracks its location and records
position points, compiling a 3-D image of the object as a digital
file in the software of its laptop computer. If, at any point, the
beam between the Tracker and target is interrupted, its XtremeADM
feature instantly reacquires the laser beam and continues
measuring. Besides its many applications at Boeing divisions around
the country and other aerospace companies, FARO Laser Trackers are
also used in many other industries for tasks where large-scale,
high-precision measurement is needed, including aligning robotic
assemblies. About FARO With more than 13,500 installations and
