Ultimate solution for versatile, high-accuracy 3D measurement
FARO® Technologies, Inc., a global leader in 3D measurement, imaging and realization solutions, highlights its FARO® Super 6DoF TrackArm, a groundbreaking portable 3D measurement system designed to address the most demanding metrology challenges in modern manufacturing. The system combines the long-range and high accuracy capabilities of FARO’s Laser Tracker with the flexibility, detail, and consistency of the Quantum X FaroArm® Series.
The Super 6DoF TrackArm is engineered to measure anything, anywhere, delivering results in a fraction of the time and cost of traditional methods. Its versatility and flexibility make it ideal for complex 3D measurement needs, using probing and scanning technologies to ensure that even the most intricate assemblies can be inspected with ease and precision.
A key advantage of the Super 6DoF is its seamless integration of the Vantage Max Laser Tracker and the QuantumX FaroArm. This integration locates the FaroArm within a common coordinate system and combines measurement points in real time, enabling unmatched accuracy and visualization for quality control and production workflows. The system excels in reaching hidden points beyond the line of sight of a laser tracker, maintaining measurement integrity and flexibility even when inspecting hard-to-access or unseen areas. Multiple FaroArms can be repositioned within the measurement range, providing comprehensive coverage and data consistency across large or complex assemblies. Every measurement is captured with a digital record, allowing users to validate conformance to specifications by comparing actual versus nominal data for robust quality control.
The Super 6DoF ensures equipment alignment and tight tolerances, supporting the precise production of advanced parts, including those with hard-to-reach or hidden components. It expedites the manufacturing process for large-scale parts, accelerating design, reverse engineering, quality control, and the development of replacement or aftermarket components. With six degrees of freedom, the Super 6DoF eliminates line-of-sight issues and can measure around corners, delivering highly accurate measurement and alignment that improves manufacturing quality. Complex 3D inspections and automatic reports help users pinpoint defects, enabling faster troubleshooting and root cause analysis while increasing yield.
The system’s expanded measurement range allows for comprehensive analysis over larger areas, offering flexibility, more detail, high resolution, and superior accuracy. Its unique capability to measure without line-of-sight limitations sets it apart as a truly innovative tracker solution. Large-volume measurement is achieved at a fraction of the cost compared to comparable systems, making it a cost effective choice.
Setup and measurement time are minimized thanks to the easy-to-use, quick alignment of multiple devices, and each device can be used independently to improve resource efficiency. The seamless combination of multiple portable CMMs enables large-volume measurement solutions, while 6DoF capabilities with no hidden point restrictions ensure complete coverage. Ultimate portability is achieved with cable-free operation, making the Super 6DoF easy to transport and operate in any environment. This advanced system is designed for manufacturers seeking to maximize throughput, reduce downtime, and maintain the highest standards of quality and precision in their operations.
