Tool building and setup require a high degree of accuracy and repeatability.

Meet high manufacturing standards
Tool building and injection molding within the automotive, aerospace, and shipbuilding industries require a high degree of accuracy and repeatability. FARO’s laser trackers and measuring arms are portable CMMs which can perform full volumetric accuracy tests on tools and molds to ensure the parts are being manufactured to the highest standard.

Identify problems early and report
Over time, tools and molds may trend away from their original specifications. With FARO’s 3D metrology instruments, tool makers can identify or predict defects by evaluating the dimensional integrity and repeatability of tools and molds. Reports of the measurement results depict trends in accuracy so that tools and molds can be maintained or repaired as needed.

For all your Factory Metrology needs
FaroArm®
The Global Standard for Arm Technology
The FaroArm is an innovative portable coordinate measuring machine that allows manufacturers easy verification of product quality by performing 3D inspections, dimensional analysis, CAD comparison, tool certifications, and more. The Quantum line of FaroArms including the world’s only 8-Axis portable metrology arm solution, extends FARO’s tradition of maximum unsurpassed measurement accuracy, consistency and reliability in every working environment.
- First measuring Arm to be certified against the new and rigorous ISO Standard 10360-12
- 8-Axis FaroArm enables part to be rotated in real-time for unmatched measuring speed and user friendliness
- FARO kinematic smart probes for quick probe replacement without the need to recalibrate
- Robust high-speed wireless operation

FARO ScanArm
FARO provides a competitive all-in-one metrology solution with the 8-Axis 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.
- 8-Axis ScanArm offers comprehensive solution enabling part to be rotated in real-time to simplify measurement and scanning activities
- 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

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

FARO Laser Tracker
Advanced, accurate, versatile and portable laser trackers
The FARO Vantage Laser Trackers are extremely accurate, large-scale portable coordinate measuring machines that enable you to build products, optimize processes, and deliver solutions by measuring quickly, simply and precisely. The VantageS6 and VantageE6 with the 6Probe are the industry’s most cost-effective 6DoF solutions offering complete, comprehensive, fully-featured, and easy-to-use 6 Degrees-of-Freedom (6DoF) Laser Tracker solutions that meet the dynamic measurement and accuracy requirements of the most challenging applications. FARO Laser Trackers set the standard in workflow productivity management for large-scale metrology applications by offering ease of use, exceptional portability, battery operation, ruggedness, and high accuracy.
- VantageS: 160m (525 ft.) spherical working volume
- VantageE: 70m (230 ft.) spherical working volume
- Accuracy up to 0.015mm (0.0006 in.)* [*Typical angle measurement performance at 2m]
- ActiveSeek™ feature finds and follows target even when you pass behind obstructions
