FARO’s portable 3D measurement solutions like the FARO Laser Tracker and measuring arms can be used in the calibration of robots in manufacturing to ensure drifts are checked and production is consistent and reliable.

Accurate robots for reliability
Performing programmed routines on a daily basis, robots have a tendency to drift from their intended paths over time. Recalibrations are necessary to assure robot accuracy, which increases reliability on the production line.

Calibrate robots on-site
In industries such as aerospace and automotive manufacturing, FARO’s laser trackers and measuring arms provide a convenient way to collect measurement data and recalibrate large manufacturing robots on-site, without the need to remove them from their mounting structures, resulting in time and cost savings. Measurement and certification reports can also be generated easily and efficiently.
