Faro, the world’s leading provider of portable measurement and imaging solutions, will exhibit at JEC Composites Show 2010, Paris from 13th - 15th April 2010. Faro will present their Laser ScanArm V3 which is a unique solution on the market for measuring machines. It enables users to inspect parts in detail by capturing large point-cloud data. Its open architecture enables the user to employ Geomagic, Polyworks, RapidForm and many other third-party software programmes and to bring top-quality products to market more quickly.
The Laser ScanArm V3 tackles all measurement tasks like inspection, point cloud-to-CAD comparison, rapid prototyping, reverse engineering, 3D modeling, and as-built documentation with accuracy up to 54 microns. Users can hard-probe measure simple point variations, then laser scan sections for larger volumes of data – without the wasted time of adding/removing attachments, untangling cabling, or importing data from another CMM. Its main benefits are the accurate scanning of reflective and dark objects - the biggest challenge for all scanning systems.
Faro will also show its FaroArm, Faro Gage and Faro Laser Scanner Photon product lines, as well as its new Laser Tracker ION which is the most advanced, state-of-the-art Faro Laser Tracker ever introduced. The ION also features a longer measurement range, lighter weight, and contains the fastest, most sophisticated distance measuring system: Agile Absolute Distance Meter (aADM).
Visitors will have the chance to see live demonstrations of all Faro products at stand V30. “Our aim is to make people realise how quick and easy measurements can be carried out. Many of our customers used stationary measuring equipment before switching to our portable systems,” said Christophe Bénard, Responsable des Ventes de Faro France. “Their lead time is reduced while quality standards are improved by using our systems after a few weeks already. This guarantees a very fast ROI.”
About Faro
Faro develops and markets computer-aided coordinate measurement and scanning devices and software. Portable equipment from Faro permits high-precision 3D scanning and documentation of objects or whole facilities like historical buildings, tunnels or even oilrigs. The devices are used for inspecting components and assemblies, production planning, and inventory documentation, as well as for investigation and reconstruction of accident sites or crime scenes. They are also employed to generate digital scans of building sites, tunnels and historic sites.
The Faro® Laser Scanner Photon 20 and Photon 120 are the latest generation of easy-to-operate mobile laser measurement devices. With its high image quality due to hypermodulation, scanning speed, and positioning accuracy, the Faro Photon quickly and accurately creates three-dimensional black-and-white images – also known as point clouds – of large buildings, factories, or crime scenes. Photorealistic 3D colour pictures are possible with an expansion option. The Faro Laser Scanner Photon can be easily expanded and can be used by anyone after brief initial training.
Worldwide, approximately 9,500 customers are operating more than 20,000 installations of Faro measurement systems. The company’s global headquarter is located in Lake Mary, Florida/USA, its European head office in Korntal-Münchingen near Stuttgart (Germany) and the UK office in Coventry.
