Eight-axis portable co-ordinate measuring machine

Metrology products, including the recently launched eight-axis Quantum ScanArm — the world’s first eight-axis portable co-ordinate measuring machine — will be showcased by Faro (www.faro.com) at Southern Manufacturing 2020 (Stand A230).

Designed to withstand the harshest shopfloor environments, it becomes a 3-D laser scanning system when combined with the company’s Blu Laser Line probe or Prizm Laser Line probe.

Faro’s Laser Tracker Vantage will also be demonstrated; this high-accuracy laser tracking device (with a large measurement range) has MultiView cameras, SmartFind target detection and TruADM, plus a water- and dust-resistant IP52 rating.

The TracerSI Laser projector system will also be showcased.

This projects a laser onto a surface or object to provide a virtual template to allow operators and assemblers to quickly and accurately position components.
