Quantum, Platinum and Fusion FaroArm product lines from FARO Technologies, Inc. (Lake Mary,FL) have been enhanced in order to better serve the needs of a broader spectrum of applications within the company’s industrial customer base.

Now to be offered in 6-ft. (1.8m), 8-ft. (2.4m), 10-ft. (3.0m), and 12-ft. (3.7m) lengths, FARO’s popular Quantum FaroArm series will achieve up to 30-percent higher accuracy over the Platinum FaroArm series, the company's previous generation of technology. The additional sizes, combined with precision of up to 16 microns (.0006-in./0.016mm), make the Quantum FaroArm suitable for inspection and reverse engineering of the wide range of precision components required in the aerospace, automotive, machine building and other industries that demand the highest levels of accuracy available in a portable device.

The Quantum as an exclusive 8-ft. model, FARO’s best selling length, was launched last September. Bluetooth wireless technology is available in the Quantum FaroArm, as well as in the Platinum and Fusion FaroArms. This makes it possible for users to inspect, digitize, then transmit data up to 30 feet (10m) away — even through walls — without having to use cables.

The new FaroArms made their debut at the International Manufacturing Technology Show (IMTS) in Chicago on September 8.
