Fragile, complex and free-form surfaces can be captured as a dense and detailed 3D point cloud by the FARO® ScanArm® and Cobalt Array Imager, allowing users to perform non-contact, 3D inspections with ease.

3D scanning at your fingertips
FARO’s ScanArm and Cobalt Array Imager allows for rapid scanning with an extended field of view where conventional contact inspection methods are not feasible or practical. The Cobalt Array Imager can even be connected in a multi-array configuration to allow for a much wider scanning area to be covered. Data is captured in high definition and detailed 3D point clouds.

Easily measure complex shapes
Non-contact 3D scanning from FARO can digitize features such as flush and gap that are difficult to inspect with contact methods. Complex shapes and difficult-to-access parts can now be easily inspected and verified accurately. Capture seamless information required for precise measurement and accurate inspection of parts on the shop floor.

For all your Factory Metrology needs
FARO ScanArm®
The FARO ScanArm combines all of the advantages of the Quantum line of FaroArms – including the world’s only 8-Axis portable metrology arm solution – with the FAROBlu or Prizm Color hand held laser scanner to deliver unparalleled non-contact measurement capabilities. Unlike other scanning systems, the ScanArm’s hard probe and the Laser Line Probe can digitize interchangeably without having to remove either component. Users can accurately measure prismatic features with the hard probe, then laser scan sections requiring larger volumes of data — all in one simple tool.
- FAROBlu HD LLP laser technology delivers improved scanning results with higher speed and resolution
- FAROBlu SD LLP delivers cost-effective standard resolution scanning solution
- Prizm Color Lase Line Probe scans parts in color, and full, uncompromised measurement resolution
- 8-Axis ScanArm offers comprehensive solution enabling part to be rotated in real-time to simplify measurement and scanning activities

FARO Cobalt Array Imager
Unlimited Multi-Imager Scanning Configurations
The FARO Cobalt Array Imager is a metrology-grade non-contact scanner which captures millions of high-resolution 3D coordinate measurements in seconds. It is equipped with dedicated on-board processors and a smart sensor that allows multi-array configurations.
- 5MP model – for most applications
- 9MP model – improves resolution and the ability to capture features on edges and surfaces
- Interchangeable lens with 250mm and 500mm field of view
- Accuracy up to 0.027mm for 250mm lens and 0.050mm for 500mm lens
