Performance and Durability
The
QuantumS is certified to ISO 10360 -12:2016, the most
rigorous international measurement quality standard in existence.
This global standard, unlike the various regional standards such as
VDI/VDE 2617, establishes the consistent, critical testing
procedures that enable objective performance comparisons across any
and all Articulated Arm Coordinate Measuring devices. Also,
the QuantumS sets a new standard for ruggedness as it
tests to the International Electrical Commission (IEC 60068 -2)
standards for shock, vibration and temperature stress relief. Next,
with the addition of the FAROBluTM Laser Line Probe HD,
the QuantumS continues the FARO tradition of delivering
maximum measurement consistency for both direct-to-parts contact
and non-contact requirements in every working environment. Finally,
FARO extends its leadership in improving end user productivity by
enabling users to capture more, richer detail faster than any other
comparable product on the market.
Usability
The advanced man-machine interface and enhanced ergonomics make the
FARO QuantumS a virtual extension of the human arm and
enables up to 15% less effort and fatigue for the operator with
direct, contact only units. This dramatic increase in both comfort
and portability increases operator productivity by facilitating
continuous use over extended periods during the workday.
Portability
QuantumS advances the
concept of true portability and ensures additional floor reach by
up to 40%. Advanced wireless capability ensures that the
reliability of cable-free scanning and probing is comparable to
scanning and probing with a cable attachment. Furthermore, the
availability of dual, hot swappable batteries supports continuous
operation anywhere on the factory floor without the need for
external power.
"FARO takes great pride in its market leadership position in
delivering a FaroArm that is 25% more accurate than any FaroArm to
date, is our toughest FaroArm ever and adheres to the most exacting
global quality standards," states Simon
Raab, Ph.D., FARO's President and CEO. "We continue to
elevate the value/performance standard for large scale measurement
applications by combining leading edge usability, best in class
performance and value driven pricing. Next generation user
interaction, enhanced portability and Super 6DoF compatibility
(www.faro.com/lasertracker) significantly improves the end user
experience from both a personal comfort and productivity
standpoint."
The QuantumS FaroArm is available for immediate
quoting.
