Faro Scan Arm Presentation
Manufacturing in Ontario is evolving continuously.
Successful companies have adapted to the influx of offshore
competition, inflated dollar and increased raw material
and energy costs. Cost reduction is a necessary constant.
Portable digitization devices are being ntroduced at an
increasing rate in many cost reduction initiatives. Improved
ease of use and attractive pricing has allowed scanning
technologies to gain mainstream acceptance. Walter Bentley, P. Eng. of FARO Technologies will overview some of these
significant portable digitization devices and conduct a
demonstration of inspection and reverse engineering using a
non-contact laser scanner. Learn how portable inspection of
complex shapes combined with high-speed reverse
engineering is driving improved time to market, quality, and
productivity while reducing rework/scrap, improved and
downtime. |

Faro Technologies, Inc. |
| |
|
| |
With approximately 13,500 installations and 6,500 customers
globally, FARO Technologies, Inc. designs, develops, and markets
portable, computerized measurement devices and software. The
Company's products allow manufacturers to perform 3-D
inspections of parts and assemblies on the shop floor. This helps
eliminate manufacturing errors, and thereby increases productivity
and profitability for a variety of industries in FARO's worldwide
customer base. Principal products include the FARO Laser Scan
Arm; FARO Laser Scanner LS; FARO Gage and Gage-PLUS; Platinum,
Titanium, and Advantage Faro Arms; the world's best-selling laser
tracker system - the FARO Laser Tracker X and Xi; and the CAM2
family of advanced CAD-based measurement and reporting
software. FARO Technologies is ISO-9001:2000 certified, and
accredited to ISO-17025 Calibration Laboratory Standard.
Featured Equipment FARO Laser Scan Arm: Users can collect
simple point variations with the Arms hard probe, then laser scan
(up to 19,200 points/sec) the sections requiring larger volumes of
data without adding/removing attachments, untangling cabling,
or needing a separate CMM to import data. It’s the industries first
ever 7-axis contact/non-contact measurement device with a fully
integrated laser scanner. Platinum Faro Arm: Available in 4 to 12-
foot configurations, offers up to .0005” accuracy for inspection,
reverse engineering and CAD-to-Part-analysis. It’s ideal for facilities
needing GD&T and SPC output. Durable enough for harsh
manufacturing environments, yet light and versatile enough to be
easily moved around.
Note: Before the Talk there will be a small graduation ceremony
for the Bronze and Silver Lean Certifications and CMfgE
Certifications held in the last two months. |
