The FARO Guide to Small & Medium Part 3D Measurement for Quality Control

The Quantum X is designed to offer up to a 15% increase in accuracy over comparable previous generation models and can scan at 1.2 million points per second at up to 15 micrometers point distance.

Fully configurable and scalable, Quantum X comes with five lengths and three accuracy performance levels each, and with multiple Laser Line Probes that address various non-contact measurement needs. The device is designed with very high probing and scanning accuracy in mind with a reach of up to 4 meters, but may require leapfrogging, moving from location to location to measure the part in question.

For an add-on, Quantum X is compatible with the FARO 8-Axis Max, a rotary worktable, which reduces measurement time by up to 40% while maintaining exceptional accuracy. With Quantum X, users can verify dimensional accuracy and identify deviations from nominal CAD data during first-article and in-process inspection, as well as inspection of incoming parts.

In quality control applications, the Quantum X excels at dimensional inspection, GD&T, and CAD-to-part comparisons. This allows inspectors to quickly probe or scan a part and compare the results to a digital model, producing deviation color maps and inspection reports in real time.

The Gage Max FaroArm allows machine shops and small production lines to meet even the most demanding quality specifications with one efficient, sleek, rugged portable CMM.

Ideal for small-size, high-accuracy tasks, the Gage Max is the most intuitive, ergonomic and versatile articulated portable CMM, enabling machine shops to meet their most demanding quality specifications.

Additionally, the Gage Max minimizes clutter from traditional hand tools such as calipers, micrometers, and height gauges and is ideal for small parts, molds, and assemblies.

This is especially true for small parts with complex geometries, a car’s disc break, for example, or gearbox housings, brake calipers and rotors, fuel injection rails and exhaust manifolds.

In aerospace it can also be used for turbine blades, fuel nozzles, bracket assemblies, control linkages, sensor housings, and more.
