FARO to showcase exciting new products at MACH 2010

Published : March 02, 2010

David Homewood, Area Vice President for the UK, France and Benelux is very enthusiastic about the show, “MACH is the most established showcase for UK manufacturing. It is the UK’s premier manufacturing technologies event, encompassing metal cutting and metal forming machine tools along with all ancillary and related products and services.”

FARO have recently launched it’s new Laser Tracker ION which is the most advanced, state-of-the-art FARO Laser Tracker ever introduced. The ION also features a longer measurement range, lighter weight, and contains the fastest, most sophisticated distance measuring system: Agile Absolute Distance Meter (aADM).

The most recent innovation will also be showcased at MACH in Birmingham: The new software version for the FaroArm and Laser Tracker – CAM2 Q. Homewood explains, “CAM2 Q’s unique combination of power and simplicity provides a confidence-inspiring user experience with FARO’s portable CMMs. No other software/hardware package in the industry simplifies measurement while providing so much capability. The end result for our customers: better products, more cost-effective processes, and a competitive advantage.”

Visitors will have the chance to see live demonstrations of all FARO products at stand 5610. “Our aim is to make people realise how quick and easy measurements can be carried out. Many of our customers used stationary measuring equipment before switching to our portable systems,” Homewood comments. “Their lead time is reduced while quality standards are improved by using our systems after a few weeks already. This guarantees a very fast ROI.”

FARO’s product range also includes the FaroArm product line consisting of Quantum, Platinum, and Fusion, which are flexibly deployable, portable measuring systems for 3D measurements. They meet the high accuracy requirements posed by development and production. The FaroArm products measure, digitize, or create a CAD component analysis right in production or during assembly. The measurement arms are available with six or seven axes and with four measuring volumes.

For Mechanical Engineers FARO offers the ideal solution with the FARO Gage which is the smallest and most precise FARO measuring arm. With a measurement volume of 1.2m it is ideal for adjusting, aligning, measuring and verifying parts. Different software packages are available to suit various requirements.

The product range is toped off by the FARO Laser Scanner Photon 120/20. Combined with the new FARO Scene 4.6 software it offers users the fastest and longest range phase shift laser scanning solution in the market place. The new Photon models capture and analyse detailed 3D images of large objects efficiently by reducing scan time and post processing work.

“In addition to the top-level range of portable CMMs we’re able to offer today we will show even more exciting product news at MACH so we are very positive that visitors to our stand will be hooked by our products and services,” Homewood concludes.
