FARO® Launches the Focus S Laser Scanner with IP54 Rating and
In-Field Compensation for Construction BIM-CIM and Public Safety
Forensics Professionals
LAKE MARY, Fla., Oct. 10, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- FARO®
(NASDAQ: FARO), the world's most trusted source for 3D measurement
and imaging solutions for factory metrology, product design,
construction BIM/CIM, public safety forensics and 3D solutions and
services applications, announces the release of the all-new FARO
FocusS Laser Scanner.
The FocusS is the newest member of FARO's popular
Focus Laser Scanner product line and is available in both 150m and
350m ranges. Designed for construction BIM-CIM and public safety
forensics applications, this new line of laser scanners brings
together several customer-centric features such as an increased
measurement range, Ingress Protection (IP) Rating of 54 for use in
high particulate and wet weather conditions, an accessory bay for
custom add-on devices and a built-in field compensation routine for
ensuring system accuracy at all times.
"Establishing a new benchmark against the highly successful
Focus3D models of the past 5 years, FARO's Research
& Development Team continues to set a high standard for laser
scanners. Equipped with highly advanced features in an
ergonomic and durable design, the FocusS 150 and 350 are
packed with today's most innovative features to maximize
efficiencies for laser scanning professionals," stated Joe Arezone, Chief Commercial Officer of
FARO.
With a sealed design, the FocusS laser scanner is
certified to a Class 54 IP rating, featuring safeguards against
intrusions such as dirt, dust, fog and rain as well as other
outdoor elements which can occur in extreme scanning
conditions.
To ensure confidence in accuracy, the on-site compensation
feature enables users to verify the accuracy of the
FocusS before each project on-site. Users can correct
deviations caused during transport, carrier mishandling or
incidental contact automatically on-site and a comprehensive
accuracy document can be provided for each scan project.
With the integrated accessory bay, additional accessories can
easily be connected to the scanner. Customers and third party
developers can augment their scanning capabilities by utilizing
this accessory port for future technological customization.
"Customers who have field tested our new laser scanners are
truly excited about the overall capabilities, quality and
affordability of the units which are unique to the market," stated
Andreas Gerster, Vice President of
Construction BIM-CIM & Product Design at FARO.
The FocusS Laser Scanners are available for immediate
shipment. More information on FARO's FocusS Laser
