LAKE MARY, Fla., Sept. 3, 2014 /CNW/ -- FARO Technologies, Inc.
(NASDAQ: FARO), the world's most trusted source for 3D measurement,
imaging, and realization technology, announced today the release of
the all-new FARO® Laser Line Probe HD. The power
of the new high-definition 3D scanner combined with the flexibility
of the FARO Edge measuring arm creates the world's
most affordable, high performance contact/non-contact portable
measurement system on the market – the FARO Edge ScanArm HD.
The Edge ScanArm HD delivers rapid point cloud collection with
extreme resolution and high accuracy – all in a compact,
lightweight and easy-to-use system. The new functionalities enable
users to seamlessly scan across diverse surface materials
regardless of contrast, reflectivity or part complexity and without
any special coatings or target placement.
The Edge ScanArm HD will be available for live product
demonstrations in the Quality Assurance Pavilion at the 2014
International Manufacturing Technology Show (IMTS) at the McCormick
Place in Chicago, IL from
September 8-13, 2014 at booth
N-6994.
"The Laser Line Probe HD was developed to set a new standard in
3D laser scanning technology. We are strongly focused on the
application needs of our customers, and we are confident that we
will exceed their expectations," stated Kathleen J. Hall, Senior Vice President and
Managing Director, Americas. "The Edge ScanArm HD delivers
high-definition data with superior speed and surface coverage at an
affordable price, enabling our customers to reduce on-site
measurement times, to scan very challenging materials, and to
meaningfully improve their products and processes."
The extra wide scan stripe and fast frame rate boosts
productivity by increasing coverage and reducing scanning time.
Intricate components can be captured in fine detail as a result of
the 2,000 actual points per scanline and the new blue laser
featuring noise reduction technology. Users can dramatically reduce
required training time with the new crosshair feature and
existing LED Rangefinder functionality, which provides real-time
scanning feedback.
The FARO Edge ScanArm HD 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.
In combination with the all-in-one metrology software CAM2
Measure 10, FARO provides its customers with a unique solution for
both contact and non-contact measurement perfectly suited for
metrology challenges for a wide range of applications.
