FARO Launches All-New Quantum Max FaroArm with Multiple Laser Line Probes

Lake Mary, US – FARO Technologies, Inc, a global leader of 3D measurement, imaging, and realization solutions for the 3D Metrology, AEC (Architecture, Engineering & Construction), and Public Safety Analytics markets, recently launched the all-new Quantum Max ScanArm, the most advanced portable measurement tool that features three purpose-built hot-swappable Laser Line Probes (LLPs).

The LLPs — xR, xP, and xS — are designed to meet a variety of small and medium-sized measurement needs, ensuring that users are no longer forced to choose between speed, accuracy, or resolution. With the enhanced performance and scanning capabilities of the Quantum Max, users can increase value and productivity by over 30 percent. Each LLP includes FARO CLR (Continuous Light Rectification) technology, which provides users with the highest quality scan data on dark, translucent, and reflective surfaces, eliminating the need for sprays, time-consuming surface preparation, and cleanup while preventing finished product contamination.

The new FARO LLP family includes the following features:

xR: Suited for high-precision tasks or areas on a part with tight tolerances to capture data with up to 30 percent more accuracy and resolution.
xP: Offers a balance of the xR for resolution and the xS for speed, resulting in a blend of coverage and accuracy for overall productivity.
xS: Best for large parts or expansive surface areas when data collection speed is a top priority, the extra‑wide laser stripe delivers twice the coverage in a single pass, allowing users to collect data over 65 percent faster.

Quantum Max improves speed and accessibility even more with its kinematic mount, which allows each LLP to be interchanged with seamless ease. The small, light end effector on the portable measurement arm allows users to better access hard-to-reach confined spaces while reducing operator fatigue. Quantum Max is SmartFactory ready and fully compatible with FARO CAM2^® software and its Repeat Part Management feature, which allows for pre-programming of guided inspection routines. The same inspection routine can now be performed by all operators, minimizing variability, and maximizing repeatability.

Elaborating ScanArm’s advantages, Ozan Ugurlu, Senior Director Product Marketing, Faro Technologies, asserted, “With the next-generation Quantum Max ScanArm, getting the inspection job done as fast and precisely as possible has never been easier. Changing probes is quick and easy in just seconds, with no need for recalibration so inspection can continue, virtually uninterrupted.”

Clay Marsh, Managing Partner, Real Street Performance, a Florida-based parts supplier company and one of the adopters of the new Quantum Max ScanArm, said, “The new Quantum Max ScanArm exceeded our expectations. In our many years of industry expertise, we have learned that choosing the right LLP is not always a ‘one size fits all’ proposition. There are parts or specific features or areas on a part where you need the most accurate scan possible. For other parts or areas, getting the job done quickly to maintain production speed is most important. The Quantum Max ScanArm solves for both.”
