The ScanArm ES is the latest advancement in FARO's Laser Line
scanning sensors, featuring Enhanced Scanning Technology (EST). EST
is the combination of multiple hardware and software improvements
designed to boost performance by improving the ability to scan
challenging surfaces. Materials with dark or reflective optical
qualities can now be scanned with less effort and without the need
for sprays or surface coatings.
"Scanning is becoming a big part of the metrology world and the
improved performance of the ScanArm ES minimizes the challenges of
capturing data on surfaces with less than ideal optical qualities,"
said Orlando Perez, FARO's Director
of Product Management -- FaroArm/ScanArm.
New and improved filtering algorithms automatically adjust and
optimize the scanning parameters for plastic, metal, or a variety
of surface finishes and colors. The new HDR (High Dynamic Range)
Mode of the ScanArm ES lets users scan materials with contrasting
colors (i.e. black and white) simultaneously.
"Our customers expect quality and innovation from our products
and the new ScanArm ES delivers," said Jay
Freeland, President and CEO.
The FARO Edge ScanArm ES is the ideal tool for product
development, inspection, and quality control and offers
capabilities such as point cloud comparison with CAD, rapid
prototyping, reverse engineering, and 3D modeling.
Mr. Perez concluded, "The ScanArm ES packs a big punch with the
smallest form factor on portable arms in the industry and at an
excellent price to performance value."
