LAKE MARY, Fla., April 18, 2011 /CNW/ -- FARO Technologies, Inc.
(NASDAQ: FARO), the world's leading provider of portable
measurement and imaging solutions, introduces the FARO Edge and V4
Laser Line Probe, the most advanced, state-of-the-art FaroArm
system ever produced. The FARO Edge is a portable measurement arm
that allows manufacturers to easily verify their product quality by
performing inspections, tool certifications, CAD-to-part analysis,
and reverse engineering via hard probing and non-contact laser
scanning. The latest generation of the FaroArm product line
continues to eclipse competitive models in every category. The Edge
improves production, quality, and reverse engineering processes by
rapidly verifying or scanning parts with confidence and accuracy.
The new Arm also simplifies the user experience with improved
performance, portability and reliability. "The FARO Edge was
designed with our customers' input and built with our experience,"
stated Jay Freeland, FARO's President & Chief Executive
Officer. "It offers unparalleled simplicity for the user while
maintaining all the existing benefits of a FaroArm and demonstrates
our continued leadership in this space through innovative and
disruptive technology." The all new Edge features the first ever
integrated personal measurement assistant. With its built-in
touchscreen and on-board operating system, the Edge revolutionizes
portable metrology by providing stand-alone basic measurement
capability. A laptop is no longer needed to perform quick and
simple dimensional checks, or to optimize system performance with
its on board diagnostic routines. Available in three popular
working volumes and 7-axis configuration, the Edge is the perfect
fit for any portable measurement application, eliminating the guess
work of which length is right for the job. Seven axis of rotation
ensures you always get the most flexibility out of your device.
Additional industry-leading areas of improvement and capability
include: -- Enhanced Connectivity - Bluetooth, WiFi, USB, and
Ethernet ready. Multiple device management through networking. --
Smart Sensor Technology - Improved sensors warn against excessive
external loads, correct for thermal variations, and detect possible
setup problems. -- Ergonomics - Improved weight distribution and
balance for reduced strain and ease-of-use. Patented internal
counterbalancing providing comfortable, stress-free use. --
Multi-Function Handle Port - Seamless and interchangeable accessory
integration. Quick-change handle. Expandable capability. The all
new FARO V4 Laser Line Probe provides unparalleled non-contact
measurement capabilities. Its wider laser stripe significantly
increases scan coverage without sacrificing accuracy, while
variable capture rates can produce over 45,000 points per second
for exceptional speed and feature definition. Taking advantage of
the Edge's multi-function, quick-change handle port, the V4 Laser
Line Probe integrates seamlessly and instantly becomes part of the
arm. Lighter weight, amazingly compact and completely unobtrusive,
it delivers the best performance at the lowest price in the
industry for a handheld laser scanning system. "Everything about
the Edge was designed from the ground up to boost productivity and
deliver the best performance in a portable arm CMM," said Orlando
Perez, Product Manager - FaroArm. "As the first ever smart
measurement arm with built-in apps, the FARO Edge changes
absolutely everything." Also, learn more about the FARO Edge at
