MEGA Tech presents a robotic arm that has been created, Since 1995, FARO has produced the world’s most trusted portable CMM—the FaroArm®. When it comes to performing accurate 3D measurements and inspection on small to medium-sized parts, no tool can match the utility, speed, and accuracy of the FaroArm. Leading aerospace, machining, assembly, and automotive manufacturers rely on this highly versatile device to easily capture precise measurements on the shop floor and in the field, in any environment including extreme temperatures. And when a part or tool is so difficult to reach that contact probes cannot capture all of its measurements, manufacturers utilize the non-contact functionality of the FARO Quantum ScanArm to do the job. At the heart of the Quantum ScanArm is the Laser Line Probe (LLP), capable of capturing tens of millions of data points with ease.
3 Purpose-Built LLPs
Now the tradition continues with the all-new Quantum Max ScanArm and its three hot-swappable FAROBlu® LLPs that meet any measurement need. With options to dramatically increase the scanning speed or resolution, getting the job done as quickly and precisely as possible has never been easier. With maximum flexibility, extended arm reach and a redesigned end effector with dual kinematic LLP mounts, value and productivity is maximized by over 30%. The Quantum Max features the fastest, most detailed scanning available on the market today, accelerating project completion time while enhancing overall productivity.
Maximum Versatility
The new Quantum Max offers 2 times the versatility of previous models. Dual kinematic seats allow for hard probe and LLP interchangeable mounting positions to easily move the LLP from top to front mount, enabling greater access to small spaces or hard-to-reach areas without the need to recalibrate. The quick-release handle also offers dynamic holding options.
Maximum Performance
Three FaroArm models offer basic, standard, and premium performance options—available in various working volumes from 2.0m to 4.0m. Improved rigidity and stability deliver optimized accuracy and repeatability with superior performance while maintaining shop-hardened ruggedness for use in the harshest factory environments. The new 2.0m working volume arm delivers the best accuracy in its size category.
Maximum Reach
Each FaroArm model comes with up to 25% longer reach, offering more comfortable articulation for better extension over and around larger objects positioned within its specified working volume. Combined with the FARO exclusive 8-Axis Max rotary worktable, the need to relocate or reposition the device is virtually eliminated—and inspections can be completed in a fraction of the time.
The right LLP is not always a “one size fits all” choice. Sometimes the fastest speed is needed to get the job done quickly. Sometimes the highest accuracy and resolution possible is needed instead. And sometimes, a trade-off of both is preferred. With the Quantum Max, choosing between these options is now seamless. Three unique models help boost productivity collectively or individually. All LLPs come with the exclusive FARO Continuous Light Rectifications (CLR) scanning technology, providing users with the highest quality scan data possible on dark, ranslucent, and reflective surfaces.
Quantum Max LLPs
With the next-gen Quantum Max, getting the inspection job done as quickly and precisely as possible has never been easier when using multiple LLPs that can be changed in seconds, with no need for recalibration so inspection can continue, virtually uninterrupted.
FAROBlu xP: M A X I M U M P R O D U C T I V I T Y
This LLP offers the ability to scan anything with a balanced coverage blend of xR accuracy/resolution and xS speed — increasing profitability and throughput with performance suitable for any application.
FAROBlu xR: M A X I M U M R E S O L U T I O N A N D A C C U R A C Y
This LLP is ideal for high-precision tasks with tight tolerances to capture data at highest accuracy and best resolution possible. Users can scan small intricate parts and fine details with up to 30% better accuracy and resolution than the xP, improving production quality with better and more reliable data.
FAROB lu xS: M A X I M U M S P E E D
This LLP is best for large parts or expansive surface areas when data collection speed is top priority. The extra‑wide laser stripe delivers double the coverage in a single pass, allowing users to collect data over 65% faster than the xP. Fewer passes to collect data means faster results and higher productivity.
SmartFactory Ready
FARO CAM2® Software, a powerful 3D measurement platform designed to efficiently complete quality assurance and inspection tasks, is perfectly suited to manage repeat inspection routines with live-trend and statistical process control (SPC) analysis. When combined with the Quantum Max, CAM2’s Repeat Part Management feature allows guided inspection routines to be pre-programmed into the software. Every operator can now perform the exact same inspection routine, thus minimizing variability and maximizing repeatability. Data records are digitally stored, analyzed, and maintained so trends can be identified and appropriate actions are taken when parts begin to deviate from their nominal tolerances.
