The FARO Gage: Flexibility and Accuracy for Increased Productivity

The FARO Gage is the cost-effective solution to metrology needs on the shop floor. Setting up in seconds, it allows parts and assemblies to be measured directly on the machinery producing them. The Gage saves time and money by improving upon conventional gauging tools such as calipers, micrometers, height gauges, depth gages, and even rulers and tape measures. Faster and more accurate measurements enhance and increase productivity.

Made specifically to be used by shop floor personnel, the FARO Gage is easier to use than stationary CMMs. With minimal training, machinists can check basic geometry, distances, angles, and reduce operator error with simple on-screen prompts that illustrate what to do. It is accurate and powerful enough for advanced measurements including SPC (Statistical Process Control) analysis and GD&T (Geometric Dimensioning & Tolerancing). All user measurements are automatically recorded and comprehensive reports can be generated with ease.

The FARO Gage provides:
• 48” (1.2m) Working Volume: Ideal for all your small parts, molds and assemblies
• Universal 3.5” Quick Mount: Offers “mount-it-to-where-you-make-it” convenience and less downtime
• Temperature & Overload Sensors: Allow the Gage to “sense” and react to thermal variations and improper handling for maximum accuracy
• Internal Counterbalancing: Allows the user to move the Gage easily with one hand without becoming fatigued
• Extended-Use Professional battery: Optional — Provides true “measure anywhere” capability

The FARO Gage offers accuracy comparable to stationary CMMs while providing previously unheard of portability and flexibility.
