The FaroArm and FARO Gage from FARO Technologies will be compatible with Q-DAS SPC Link, a quality control software application used by many automotive manufacturers and suppliers.

"Adding Q-DAS capability gives our portable CMMs a rare advantage," FARO President and CEO Jay Freeland said. "Our customers can now interface with one of the most respected and powerful statistical software packages available."

For statistical analysis, Q-DAS uses what it calls the CAMERA method: Collecting, Assessing, Management, Evaluating, Reporting, and Archiving.

"FaroArm and FARO Gage users can seamlessly transfer measurement data into SPC Link, enabling them to evolve customized solutions," said Q-DAS President Tom Stewart. "In addition to generating time-/event-driven reports, the software has a Real-Time feature which allows others to monitor processes on-line."

The FARO Gage and Gage-PLUS are used to prove that outgoing and incoming parts are up to spec. The FaroArm portable measurement arm takes the Gage line's capability to the next level by creating a 3D "blueprint" of a part or machine components so that users can perform CAD-to-part analysis or reverse-engineer custom parts.
