LAKE MARY, Fla., Oct. 18, 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 launch of a new addition to
its Vantage Laser Tracker product line. The new VantageE includes
well-proven features and capabilities such as high-speed dynamic
measurement, and is affordably priced for customers who demand high
performance while working with short-to-medium range
applications.
The FARO VantageE Laser Tracker is ideally suited for customers
who do not require the extended measurement range that is provided
by the premium Vantage solution but still demand the trusted and
robust features the Vantage platform provides. This release
provides customers with increased flexibility in terms of
capability and pricing, dependent on their application-specific
demands.
The new VantageE Laser Tracker has a range of up to 25 meters
through FARO's patented, fifth-generation TruADM (Absolute Distance
Meter) technology, which enables fully-dynamic measurement
capabilities. Vantage Trackers are able to continuously scan and
take measurements while a spherical optical probe is tracked across
the surface of the part, object or assembly. If the laser beam is
interrupted at any time while the probe is being moved, the user
can simply and instantly reacquire the beam and continue
measuring.
The VantageE provides full support for FARO's patented Super
6DoF (Degrees of Freedom) TrackArm solution, which enables a
Vantage Tracker and one or more FARO ScanArms to work together to
create an integrated 3D measurement system. Super 6DoF completely
eliminates line-of sight challenges and significantly expands
measurement range while maintaining superior accuracy.
"A number of our factory metrology customers have expressed the
need for a more affordable, but feature-rich tracker that would
meet their applications for short-to-mid distance measurement,"
stated Joe Arezone, Chief Commercial
Officer of FARO. "In developing the VantageE, we quickly realized
that customers would still need the accuracy of our longer-distance
tracker along with the robust features that make the FARO Vantage
Tracker solution ideally suited for solving real-world, everyday
measurement challenges. Additionally, the VantageE is value-priced
at approximately 30% less than the premium Vantage while offering
many of the same features and similar accuracy."
The FARO VantageE Laser Tracker offers a cost-effective solution
for applications such as quality inspection, tool-building,
alignment, and reverse engineering. In contrast to using
traditional measurement solutions, operators are able to complete
complex 3D measurement jobs much faster, reduce downtime and scrap,
and most importantly, get accurate, consistent and reportable
measurement data.
