LAKE MARY, Fla., Nov. 11, 2014 /CNW/ -- FARO Technologies, Inc.
(NASDAQ: FARO), the world's most trusted source for 3D
measurement, imaging and realization technology, announced the
release of FARO CAM2 SmartInspect 1.2, the industry's first
full-featured portable software for basic geometric measurements,
without CAD, for laser trackers and measuring arms.
The release reinforces FARO's continued commitment to simplify
3D measurement. CAM2 SmartInspect 1.2 will now interface with
FARO's Laser Trackers, providing a simple and efficient solution
for those who require the accuracy and large measurement volume
provided by the capabilities of laser trackers, but not the
complexity of CAD-based software.
CAM2 SmartInspect 1.2 has been optimized to run on all Microsoft
Windows™ based Touch PCs or Touchpads, providing users a new way to
interact with inspection data and measurement devices. The addition
of touch capability makes the software ideal for fully mobile
measurement applications and establishes it as the first portable
metrology software for FARO Laser Trackers and FaroArms on the
market.
"SmartInspect 1.2 is the most intuitive software for basic
geometry measurements on the market," explains Kathleen J. Hall, FARO Americas Managing
Director. "It enhances mobility, eliminates complexity and makes it
possible for non-experts to begin measuring quickly, so your FARO
Laser Tracker, FaroArm or FARO Gage delivers immediate ROI."
Additional new features include a Move Device™ function, which
streamlines the inspection of large parts, particularly when
frequent repositioning is needed. Users can now move their device
during the measurement process and measure their part from
different positions. By enabling quick identification of correct
target correspondence, time requirements to relocate (leapfrog) the
arm or tracker is reduced along with the potential for error.
Other innovative advancements are the voice operation and
audible feedback functionalities. The voice operation feature
enables users to provide instructions using voice commands,
allowing for hands-free operation which results in both reduced
measurement times and improved mobility. The audible feedback
feature provides real-time relay of information, alerting the user
when a bad measurement has occurred or when the laser tracker beam
has been broken.
