In a demanding supply chain environment where optimizing the performance-to-cost ratio is critical to both success and survival, Digi-Cube resets the baseline of the entire industry. It offers, as validated by exhaustive side by side performance benchmarking and available published technical specifications, comparable or better performance than alternative analog laser scan head products across a variety of key parameters at up to 30% lower price points (http://bit.do/FARO-Digi-Cube).

Additionally, beyond other performance improvements, Digi-Cube offers better real world marking results relative to similar hybrid, digitally controlled products at half, or 50%, of the price.

Simplified Implementation and Compatibility

• The Digi-Cube laser scan head is designed to the industry standard XY2-100 command protocol which assures easy OEM integration and plug-and-play replacement of existing analog servo control scan heads.

Extended Service Life

• Self-Tuning Technology automatically compensates for mechanical wear, extending service life and eliminating what has been repeatedly identified as a major issue with traditional analog servo filters.

The Digi-Cube is available for ordering now with 48-hour shipping and includes a one (1) year standard FARO warranty. Also, it is supported by the best in class FARO Customer Service network, so that when an issue arises there is easy access to a FARO expert.
