FARO Laser Trackers Being Shipped
FARO Technologies Inc. announced that the first of its new generation laser trackers rolled off the line and was shipped to a major automotive manufacturer. Shipments are being ramped up to address the approximately $3 million backlog in orders FARO has received for its trackers, and to meet the demand for product demonstrations from potential customers worldwide, according to Vice President of Manufacturing, Ed Pelshaw.
Recently shown at the Control Show in Germany, the FARO Laser Tracker uses an ultraprecise laser beam to measure objects in the 0-100-foot range. Among its features is SuperADM, (Super Absolute Distance Measurement), a high-speed distance measuring capability. ADM allows the user to measure effectively even if the laser beam has been interrupted, a key feature for the practical use of trackers in CAM2 (Computer Aided Manufacturing Measurement). This new, compact tracker has higher measuring speeds, greater accuracy and a larger working envelope than the company's previous models. It enables manufacturing, engineering and quality control professionals to measure and inspect large parts, machine tools and other large objects on-site, in-process or wherever it's most efficient and cost-effective.
Chuck Pfeffer, FARO Laser Division Account Manager said, "FARO is making its trackers available in two options: the 'I' model with interferometer only or the 'SI' model with interferometer and SuperADM."
The tracker is now fully capable of operating with FARO's metrology software, CAM2ª Measure. "FARO has enhanced its CAM2 Measure software to fully support tracker applications," said Ken Steffey, software product manager for FARO.
