APPLICATIONS

The FARO Laser Tracker ION accurately performs measurements within many applications throughout a wide range of industries. The ION offers improved methods of coordinate measurement and makes entirely new manufacturing methods possible.

Alignment

• More accurate and less time-consuming than traditional methods
• Frequent measurements and proper trending of distortions
• Real-time measurement confirms tolerances and validates design

Installation

• Lay out / level machine foundation
• Prevent damage during the machine’s initial run
• Reduce wear and tear on mechanical parts

Inspection

• Compare complex geometry, surfaces and feature positions to nominal data
• No need to move the part to a fixed inspection tool
• Reduce production waste and non-conformance costs

Tool Building

• Full volumetric accuracy tests (ensures parts are being assembled to the highest standard)
• Verify dimensional integrity and repeatability of the tool (identify or preempt tool defects) 

Reverse Engineering

• Acquire high accuracy digital scan data
• Eliminate the need for hard masters
