FARO TrackArm

Faro’s portable computerized measurement devices replace obsolete hand tools and large, expensive fixed Coordinate Measuring Machines (CMMS). The FARO TrackArm combines technology from two top-selling portable CMM’s – the FaroArm and FARO Laser Tracker – to measure geometric features and directly import 3-D measurements into digital form for CAD model or part size verification.

The FaroArm uses optical encoders, advanced error coding and temperature compensation technology to record 3-D points on items ranging from palm-sized to 12 ft. The FARO Laser Tracker X uses laser targets and Xtreme ADM technology to measure items up to 230 ft.

TrackArm users can seamlessly move between the tracker and arm by using a laser target mounted directly on the FaroArm. This enables the user to measure in large volumes with the FARO Laser Tracker and then switch to the FaroArm to digitize areas hidden from the Tracker’s line-of-sight. CAM2 Measure, a shared software platform, collects all of the data in the same job file.
