Welcome to the Measurement Guide of FARO
FARO Technologies develops and globally distributes 3D measurement systems, including 3D laser measurement technology. The FaroArm, the FARO Laser Tracker ION, the FARO Laser Scanner Focus3D or the FARO Gage models have become indispensable in almost all fields of industrial application, due to their astonishing accuracy, user friendliness and portability.
FARO measurement equipment uses sophisticated FARO 3D software to perform difficult alignment and verification tasks. Fast in-situ measurement aids lean manufacturing by minimising errors in production. FARO measurement technology is applied across industries wherever precise measurement is desired, and uses modern laser technology to maximum advantage. Areas of application include the automotive industry, aerospace technology, high-precision engineering, tool & mould making, shipbuilding, civil engineering, pulp and paper mills or plant construction for the chemical, pharmaceutical and petrochemical industries. FARO portable measurement devices also aid in robot calibration and first installation of heavy machinery.
The FaroArm can be used for a very broad range of applications like inspection and reverse engineering - i.e. in the quality control department or on the shop floor. The FARO Laser Tracker can accurately measure large equipment, or a FARO Laser Scanner Focus3D can deliver 3D documentation of buildings in progress or help visualise crime scenes for forensic investigation. The FARO Gage is especially suited for small parts measurement and used for quality assurance in car manufacturing. Some FARO portable measurement devices use 3D laser technology to best advantage, are faster, more accurate and more cost effective than traditional measuring systems, and offer a competitive edge in completing precision measurement, verification, calibration and construction tasks.
