The Measure of Success

FARO was founded in 1982 by Simon Raab and Greg Fraser who met while completing their PhD

work at Mc Gill University in Montreal, Canada. After two years of development, FARO launched three

medical/surgical products based on its articulated arm measurement technology in 1984, 1986 and

1988 respectively. The company moved from Montreal to Lake Mary, Florida in 1990 and shortly after

that the Company was asked to develop a larger, more robust version of its technology for use as a

portable quality control tool for manufacturers.

By 1994 FARO had completely transitioned from the medical markets to the much larger worldwide

industrial manufacturing market. On the basis of strong sales and profit growth and the large

underserved market, FARO went public in 1997 and its shares began trading on the NASDAQ

exchange under the symbol FARO. Faro acquired three companies in 1998, 2002 and 2005 to broaden

its worldwide distribution and to expand its product lines into laser based inspection technology.

FARO is a pioneer and leader in the worldwide Computer-Aided Measurement market.

Turning reality into a virtualrepresentation is being employed

in more and more aspects of our

everyday lives. From modeling

ancient buildings, production plants,

crime scenes and football stadiums

to design concepts for cars and for

replacement parts which have no

design data, reverse engineering is

a broad field allowing us to create

virtually anything we can touch.

Non Contact Inspection

Reverse Engineering

The point cloud acquisition devices such

as the FARO ScanArm and Laser Scanner

LS dense clouds of 3-D points can now

capture from the tightest accuracies to

76m measuring envelope, this data can

easily be aligned to the nominal data

in order to compare virtuality to reality.Geomagic Qualify, Polyworks or Rapidform

can be used to perform 3-D surface form

comparison, 2-D cross sectional analysis

and feature inspection.

Part dimensions can be verified and point

clouds can even be compared to point

clouds allowing the fit two actual parts to

be compared.

All of this can be completed without ever

coming in contact with the part allowing

soft, deformable and complex shapes to

be easily inspected.LaserL

With the release of the revolutionary

Platinum FaroArm portable CMM, FARO

Technologies has invented the worlds most

accurate and advanced portable CMM in

manufacturing history.

One of a kind

The Platinum FaroArms .0005 accuracy

renders traditional CMMs, hand tools and

other portable cmms obsolete.

Industry changing

The Platinum FaroArm is lighter than a

standard portable CMM, and includes

extended-use on-board batteries.

Portability

In seconds, the FARO TrackArm can switch

from the Tracker to the Arm, enabling the

Platinum FaroArms six degrees of freedom

to reach the hidden points that are out

of the Laser Trackers line of sight even

around corners and inside. The big benefit

of TrackArm technology is that the user

no longer has to go through the lengthy

process of establishing reference points.

This is accomplished in part by having a

dedicated laser target mounted on the

Platinum FaroArm.

The CAM2 Measure X software provides

a simple user interface to quickly and

easily switch back and forth between the

Tracker and Arm.

First Article InspectionPrototype parts are typically

produced in small quantities,

individual parts can easily be

measured either geometrically

or compared to nominal data

to ensure that the part was

correctly produced.

Be the part a one off reverse engineered

replacement part or the prototype for a larger

batch to follow the time saving made by avoiding

the lengthy programming procedure of a

traditional inspection tool is a huge advantage.

Alignment & Verification

A part can be aligned to a CAD model or to adevice or fixed object to assess the variation

in relative position such as changes caused by

temperature drift or vibration. This movement can

be assessed over time allowing the operator to see

and potential changes occurring in the parts setup

which may lead to unnecessary defects or wastage

during the manufacturing process.

CAD based InspectionWhether using a contact or non contact

inspection device every FARO product is capable

of comparing a part a part to nominal data. The

hard probes of FAROs Laser Tracker or FaroArm

can compare complex geometry, surface

tolerance and feature positions to nominal data.

FARO Laser Scanning devices can be used for

non contact comparisons.

Repeat PartMeasurement

Measurement directly against CAD

data allows the operator to see real

time deviations from nominal, this

allows parts to be produced including

an inspection report certifying the part

has been machined within acceptable

tolerances.

FaroArm

Repeat part measurement is now easy.

FARO SoftCheck Tools software runs

on top of CAM2Measure allowing the

powerful inspection capability of Measure

to be captured in programs so simple to

execute it becomes childs play. A series of

photographs displays the various programs

available to the user (naturally this can

be customized according to the user

profile) and the user is guided through

each measurement via green or red balls

appearing on the part on the screen.

The colors correspond to which button

on the FaroArm should be pressed. Once

the program is complete the inspection

report stored and is available for viewing

and the process may begin again.

Self Comp

CalibrationRobots require calibration to operateaccurately in their work cell. Over time

robots may drift from the intended nominal

path programmed. Recalibration is required

to ensure the robot is performing its

programmed accurately.

Inspection

The FARO Laser Tracker provides the fastestand most accurate robot cell calibration

available today. This system works with

all makes and models of robots and saves

countless hours of teach time and the high

accuracy translates into high reliability on

the production line.

The FARO Laser Tracker enables usersto increase the accuracy of their robotic

systems, and eliminate the time consuming

manual teaching or touch-up work. This

system provides a solution for accurate Off

Line Programming (OLP), re-mastering

following a crash, setting or recovering Tool

Center Point, and moving a robotic system

from integration site to production site.

Inspection of parts and providing a

measurement report is an essential part

of todays lean manufacturing world.

Quality standards are higher than ever

reducing production waste and costs as

well as non conformance which can leadto production down time.

ExtremeMeasurement

Range

Using the FARO Laser Scanner LS, a point

cloud of the entire environment can be

generated. This documents the structure

allowing the user to take measurements

and view the as built region in a virtual

world. If necessary the point cloud data

can be surfaced to generate a CAD modelwhich can be used for comparison or

reconstruction. The FARO ScanArm can be

used in a similar way to document smaller

objects up to approximately 3 meter in size.

The data capture is far faster using laser

scanning technology compared to

conventional documentation techniques.

Also working with the actual data captured

from the environment allows planners to

incorporate deviations from original design

plans in their rework of facilities, reducingthe risk of clashes occurring during the

installation of new features. This can

significantly reduce project turnaround

time leading to huge savings.

Architecture

Over years buildings may undergo major

alterations and in many instances these

alterations are not recorded in the original

construction plans. For example door

positions or windows may change. When

planning a future addition or alteration to

a building an initial 3-D laser scan survey

will accurately document the current

layout, this means that any future plans

made are based on the exact current status

of the building, not on previous plansmade which may or may not be correct.

Refineries and rigs are characterized by

mazes of pipe work, documenting existing

setups and planning alterations is greatly

facilitated by the inclusion of accurate as

built 3-D data. The FARO Laser Scanner

LS has been implemented for its scanning

speed, modular and robust design and

its portability in order to scan in entire

plants and rigs. The scan data is delivered

to a CAD system and the accurate 3-D

representation can be quickly modeled.

Over time any design modifications can be

viewed in the design to check for potential

collisions and rework necessary.
