Measurement Technology Applications

Although FARO measurement technology, including laser measurement technology, is applied across a wide field of vastly different industries, the actual applications of portable measurement devices, including laser measurement devices, are limited to a few highly versatile, specialized tasks: Alignment, inspection, calibration, reverse engineering and documentation.

This may seem like limited usefulness, but in fact there is hardly any industry that does not benefit from the ability to take precise measurement right where it is needed. Precise alignment of heavy machinery or individual parts is crucial to obtain optimum performance, and minimize machine downtime. Regular inspection and part verification is necessary to maintain high standards of quality control. A FARO portable measurement device can carry out inspection and calibration tasks in situ, eliminating the costs of moving heavy and large parts and equipment. FARO laser scanners use CAD compatible software and can be applied to modeling and design tasks. Reverse engineering, the transfer of real objects to 3D models through virtualisation, is universally applicable across a wide variety of industries, from plant construction and machine tools manufacture to architecture and forensic investigation.

With a FARO 3D Laser Scanner, as-is documentation of objects, buildings and plants is made easy, and existing structures can be readily compared to any construction plans. This greatly facilitates any construction planning and eliminates nasty surprises, when existing piping does not correspond to plan. FARO offers several application packages, including a Laser Scanner and specialized FARO 3D software where applicable, so that your measurement needs are met on an individual, cost-efficient basis.
