FARO QuantumS FaroArm Released

FARO has introduced the new FARO Quantum^S FaroArm. This introduction extends FARO leadership in value and performance in the manufacturing inspection process through best in class performance and durability, enhanced ergonomics and extreme portability. Live Web demonstrations can be scheduled here. 

Performance and Durability

The FARO Quantum S is the industry’s first Measuring Arm to be certified against the new and rigorous ISO Standard 10360-12:2016. (PRNewsfoto/FARO Technologies, Inc.)

The Quantum^S is certified to ISO 10360 -12:2016, the most rigorous international measurement quality standard in existence. This global standard, unlike the various regional standards such as VDI/VDE 2617, establishes the consistent, critical testing procedures that enable objective performance comparisons across any and all Articulated Arm Coordinate Measuring devices. Also, the Quantum^S sets a new standard for ruggedness as it tests to the International Electrical Commission (IEC 60068 -2) standards for shock, vibration and temperature stress relief. Next, with the addition of the FAROBlu Laser Line Probe HD, the Quantum^S continues the FARO tradition of delivering maximum measurement consistency for both direct-to-parts contact and non-contact requirements in every working environment. Finally, FARO extends its leadership in improving end user productivity by enabling users to capture more, richer detail faster than any other comparable product on the market.

Combined with the FAROBlu Laser Line Probe HD, Quantum S delivers unparalleled non-contact measurement capabilities by integrating the best laser scanner available in the market. (PRNewsfoto/FARO Technologies, Inc.)

Usability

The advanced man-machine interface and enhanced ergonomics make the FARO Quantum^S a virtual extension of the human arm and enables up to 15% less effort and fatigue for the operator with direct, contact only units. This dramatic increase in both comfort and portability increases operator productivity by facilitating continuous use over extended periods during the workday.

Portability

Quantum^S advances the concept of true portability and ensures additional floor reach by up to 40%. Advanced wireless capability ensures that the reliability of cable-free scanning and probing is comparable to scanning and probing with a cable attachment. Furthermore, the availability of dual, hot swappable batteries supports continuous operation anywhere on the factory floor without the need for external power.

The Quantum^S FaroArm is available for immediate quoting.
