Machine Calibration
Calibrate machines for in-spec parts
FARO’s portable 3D measurement solutions like the FARO Laser Tracker and FaroArm can be used in the calibration of machines in manufacturing to ensure the accuracy of parts produced by the machines.

Good parts and reduced downtime
Out-of-tolerance parts are often the result of a poorly calibrated machine. With properly calibrated machines, part production is optimized and downtime reduced. Properly calibrated machines produce conforming parts and allow you to minimize the costs of scrap and rework.

Short setup time to identify errors
Quick checks of machine calibration using portable CMMs from FARO, allow operators to perform full volumetric accuracy tests with minimal setup time and to quickly identify calibration errors.
Industries such as automotive, aerospace, and shipbuilding have adopted 3D portable metrology solutions from FARO for re-calibration of machines, tools, molds, dies, jigs and templates.

For all your Factory Metrology needs

FaroArm®
The Global Standard for Arm Technology
The FaroArm is an innovative portable coordinate measuring machine that allows manufacturers easy verification of product quality by performing 3D inspections, dimensional analysis, CAD comparison, tool certifications, and more. The Quantum line of FaroArms including the world’s only 8-Axis portable metrology arm solution, extends FARO’s tradition of maximum unsurpassed measurement accuracy, consistency, and reliability in every working environment.
-
First measuring Arm to be certified against the new and rigorous ISO Standard 10360-12
-
8-Axis FaroArm enables part to be rotated in real-time for unmatched measuring speed and user-friendliness
-
Innovative design with excellent ergonomics and IEC tested for performance and reliability
-
FARO kinematic smart probes for quick probe replacement without the need to recalibrate

FARO ScanArm®
FARO provides a competitive all-in-one metrology solution with the ScanArm
The FARO ScanArm combines all of the advantages of the Quantum line of FaroArms – including the world’s only 8-Axis portable metrology arm solution – with the FAROBlu or Prizm Color handheld laser scanner to deliver unparalleled non-contact measurement capabilities. Unlike other scanning systems, the ScanArm’s hard probe and the Laser Line Probe can digitize interchangeably without having to remove either component. Users can accurately measure prismatic features with the hard probe, then laser scan sections requiring larger volumes of data — all in one simple tool.
