FARO Introduces 6DoF Laser Tracker Platform

FARO has announced the release of the next generation of FARO Laser Trackers, the 6DoF Vantage product family with 6Probe.

Offering both 6DoF and Super 6DoF, FARO boasts the world’s only comprehensive suite of 6DoF solutions. Super 6DoF integrates the Vantage S6 with a FaroArm to deliver a complete, large-scale metrology solution that eliminates line-of-sight issues.

In 2015, FARO disrupted the large CMM market with the powerful Super 6DoF TrackArm solution that integrated the FARO Vantage tracker and the FaroArm. This patented, comprehensive solution is capable of measuring or scanning over tens of meters with no loss in accuracy, no line of sight issues and simultaneous measurement by many operators.

FARO Vantage S6 with 6Probe provides enhanced probing with 6 Degrees of Freedom (6DoF).

Today, FARO is proud to introduce the 6Probe, a fully integrated hand-held probe for easily probing hidden, hard-to-reach features in hard-to-reach locations. Together, the Super 6DoF TrackArm and the 6Probe offer the most complete solution portfolio at an unbeatable price for every measurement need, large and small. This new functionality addresses a wide range of large-scale metrology applications across a variety of manufacturing focused industries including automotive, aerospace, construction, heavy equipment and shipbuilding.

The FARO 6Probe makes it easy to inspect the “nooks and crannies” of parts with single hand operation.

The 6DoF FARO Vantage product family includes two high-performance models, the VantageE6 with an operating range of 35 meters and the VantageS6 with an operating range of 80 meters. Both are tested to rigorous International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) standards for shock, vibration and extreme thermal conditions and are IP52 rated for dust and water resistance.

The FARO Vantage S6 with 6Probe is ideally suited for taking measurements in hard-to-reach areas of large machinery.

Mass Market Accuracy

Based on 30+ years of FARO experience in delivering high-value metrology-grade solutions, exhaustive internal testing and feedback from a cross-section of tenured metrology professionals, the accuracy and dynamic measurement capability delivered by the 6Probe reliably addresses the overwhelming majority of large-volume 3D measurement challenges. In combination with the Super 6DoF, which can achieve even higher accuracies, the Vantage platform now meets every need. The high-performance value proposition of the new Vantage 6DoF platform with Super 6DOF and 6Probe will facilitate broader adoption of laser trackers, making integrated, total quality available to all industries.

Premium Productivity

Both Vantage models include ActiveSeek functionality with wide-angle viewing, which allows users to confidently move from one location to the next without concern. This improves general productivity by allowing users to start the actual measurement process faster and makes sophisticated 3D measurement accessible to all.
