Faro Quantam ScanArm
The global standard in non-contact measurement arm technology

Overview
Sometimes a part or tool is so complex, you can’t use contact probes to capture all of its measurements. But lasers do the job with exceptional speed and accuracy. In these cases, leading manufacturers rely on FARO Quantum ScanArms, which combine the measurement capabilities of a Quantum FaroArm® portable coordinate measuring machine (CMM) with the non-contact functionality of a laser line probe. 3D ScanArms capture precise measurements in nearly any environment, from the factory floor to the field.
