Faro, the Rugby-based source of 3-D measurement and imaging solutions, is launching a new European quest to find the oldest working FaroArm.

The company (www.faro.com) introduced its first device with hinged-arm measurement technology about 35 years ago, while the first articulating measurement FaroArm designed for the industrial market dates back to the early 1990s.

To celebrate the FaroArm’s longevity, the company is searching for the oldest model that remains in use throughout Europe.

When found, the owner of the FaroArm will be able to swap their old model for the current eight-axis Faro ScanArm System with CAM2 software, completely free of charge.

To participate, customers will need to visit a dedicated web page (oldest-working-faroarm.faro-europe.com) and provide contact details, an image of their FaroArm in its working environment and its serial number.

The winner of the prize will be announced at the Faro booth during the Control Exhibition, taking place at Stuttgart in May 2020.

The search, which started on 22 January and finishes on 15 April, is open to all European Faro customers who have purchased their FaroArm from a Faro representative or one of Faro’s official partners or distributors.
