FARO announced the release of the FARO Quantum FaroArm – the first 8-foot arm proven to measure accurately to within .0007”; a fifth the width of a human hair.

“True to our commitment of making our customers’ products and processes the best in the world, FARO once again delivers the most advanced portable arm CMM ever – the Quantum FaroArm,” FARO President and CEO Jay Freeland said. “There is no comparable alternative product for the shop floor. Its industry-leading features make it the ideal tool for companies that are constrained by the limitations of fixed CMMs [coordinate measuring machines] and lesser quality portable models.”

Available in 8-foot working volumes and either 6- or 7-axis models, the Quantum FaroArm offers accuracy comparable to fixed CMMs, has professional software that is fully programmable for repetitive measurement, has a smaller footprint on the shop floor, and performs first-article inspections more efficiently.
