Laser ScanArm

The FARO Laser ScanArm is the first ever seven-axis contact/non-contact measurement device with a fully integrated
FARO Laser Line Probe.

Unlike other scanning systems, the FARO ScanArm’s hard probe and FARO Laser Line Probe can digitize interchangeably without having to remove either component. Users can accurately measure prismatic features with the Arm’s hard probe, then laser scan sections requiring larger volumes of data (more than 19,000 points per-second) — without adding or removing attachments, untangling cabling, or having to use a separate CMM to import the data.

The ScanArm's seventh axis affords futher flexibility and has been designed for the integration of the laser line scanning probe. The extra degree of freedom allows optimum scanner positioning to obtain the best possible data. This extraordinary flexibility and the pistol grip also offer advantages with non scanning probes.

There are no third-party attachments, external electronics or cables that interfere with the Arm’s unlimited articulation ability, so the users get maximum data handling, accuracy and efficiency in an affordable package — rather than complications of integrating separate technologies. The Laser Line Probe even has an “Auto Material” feature, which continuously samples the object’s surface, then automatically adjusts for optimal scanning.

The ScanArm is ideal for non-contact measurement applications, including inspection, cloud-to-CAD comparison, rapid prototyping, reverse engineering and 3-D modeling.  It directly interfaces to the industry’s leading point-cloud inspection and reverse-engineering softwares.

FARO ScanArms are available in Platinum, Titanuim and Advantage models with 7 axis configurations. Inverted models are also available for mounting upside-down in confined spaces or hard to reach areas.

The ScanArm is the perfect contact/non-contact measurement system, and the only system you'll need for all of your 3D digitizing needs.
