The FARO TrackArm is the most versatile portable 3D measurement system available. It brings together the long range and high accuracy capabilities of FARO\u2019s Laser Tracker with the flexibility and consistency of the FaroArm.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The seamless combination of these metrology devices expands the FaroArm\u2019s working volume, allowing it to be quickly repositioned anywhere within the Laser Tracker\u2019s measurement range; while remaining in the same coordinate system and the same software interface. This solution is ideally suited for the automotive, aerospace and heavy machinery industries as well as for suppliers of large parts to industries such as tunnel &amp; mining and hydro &amp; wind power.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_9731\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"width: 350px\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-9731\" src=\"http:\/\/www.expo21xx.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/faroarm-1-350x238.jpg\" alt=\"FaroArm is a portable coordinate measuring machine\" width=\"350\" height=\"238\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.expo21xx.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/faroarm-1-350x238.jpg 350w, https:\/\/www.expo21xx.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/faroarm-1-149x101.jpg 149w, https:\/\/www.expo21xx.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/faroarm-1.jpg 590w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 350px) 100vw, 350px\" \/><p class=\"wp-caption-text\"><i>Photo by FARO Technologies, Inc.<\/i><\/p><\/div>\n<p>The FARO TrackArm unites the FARO Laser Tracker Vantage, which has a range of up to 80m (262.5 ft), with the entire FaroArm product family \u2013 Edge, Prime or Fusion \u2013 into a long-reach, six-degree-of-freedom probe. New innovative adapters enable the integration of the Tracker and the Arm. This improved solution also eliminates the need for a synchronization cable between the units and the system can be operated wirelessly with the FaroArm\u2019s built-in capability. CAM2 Measure 10 software provides a simple user interface to quickly switch back and forth between the two systems. Attach FARO\u2019s Laser Line Probe to the Arm to enable extended scanning and non-contact inspection ability for reverse engineering, CAD-to-part analysis, and inspection purposes.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_9734\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"width: 350px\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-9734 \" src=\"http:\/\/www.expo21xx.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/faro-laser-tracker-vantage-350x238.jpg\" alt=\"portable 3D measurement system\" width=\"350\" height=\"238\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.expo21xx.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/faro-laser-tracker-vantage-350x238.jpg 350w, https:\/\/www.expo21xx.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/faro-laser-tracker-vantage-149x101.jpg 149w, https:\/\/www.expo21xx.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/faro-laser-tracker-vantage.jpg 590w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 350px) 100vw, 350px\" \/><p class=\"wp-caption-text\"><i>Photo by FARO Technologies, Inc.<\/i><\/p><\/div>\n<p>There are no line-of-sight limitations. The FARO TrackArm can switch from the Tracker to the Arm, enabling the FaroArm\u2019s six degrees of freedom to reach the hidden points that are out of the Laser Tracker\u2019s line-of-sight \u2014 even around corners and inside hole features. You can now measure anything, any size, anywhere.<\/p>\n<p>The FARO TrackArm is a cost-effective alternative to competing systems. The cost of a FaroArm as well as a Laser Tracker together is still less than two-thirds the price of competing 6DoF systems. Best of all, the FaroArm and Laser Tracker are stand-alone portable CMMs that can also be used independently. \u201cWorking together or apart, the TrackArm is a great value and will boost measurement efficiency on the shop floor,\u201d FARO President and CEO Jay Freeland said.<\/p>\n<p>The TrackArm is available as a complete system (Laser Tracker, FaroArm and TrackArm Kit). Current FaroArm or FARO Laser Tracker users can order the TrackArm Upgrade to enable the two portable CMMs to work together.<\/p>\n<p>Visit <a href=\"https:\/\/www.expo21xx.com\/link\/redirector.php?url=https:\/\/www.faro.com\/?ext_cid=40.uk.ex21.all\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">www.faro.com<\/a> for more information<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>FARO Technologies, the world\u2019s most trusted source for 3D measurement technology, today released the next generation of TrackArm technology.
