Objective – Leadership in Innovation
FARO has successfully combined three tried-and-tested measuring systems in the Track ScanArm. The mobile measuring system is particularly impressive in the measurement of entire vehicles, not least as a result of its efficiency.
The BMW Group relies on the latest, state-of-the-art technologies, in particular in development and production. In this context, the Track ScanArm from FARO, which is used at the plants in Dingolfing and Regensburg (both in Germany), represents an equally clever and mobile measuring system in Geometric Integration measuring technology.
Webinar: Efficient CAD to Part Measurement with CAM2 Q, 21st September
We invite you to join our webinar: “Efficient CAD to Part Measurement with CAM2 Q” on Tuesday, 21st September at 02:00PM (GMT).
The webinar will consist of a live demonstration of CAM2 Q showing its efficiency in the measurement of parts against a CAD model. The live demonstration will focus on the following elements of the measurement process:
• Importing / viewing of CAD files
• Performing a CAD to part alignment
• Measuring prismatic features
• Measuring points on CAD surfaces
• Performing part dimensioning
• Building a report
Software Tips & Tricks: Investigating large measurement volumes simply and accurately with PolyWorks and the FaroArm
It is sometimes necessary to carry out measurements from several positions in order to check larger components. The measuring software used for this task faces the challenge of greater measuring errors. For example, in what is known as the leap-frog process, measuring error accumulates with every repositioning of the digitising system. PolyWorks offers an excellent solution through its flexible device position management in combination with the FaroArm. Using algorithms for bundle adjustment, the errors arising in the leap-frog process are evenly distributed across the individual positions.
FARO UK presents solutions for quality control improvements at Aero Engineering, Birmingham

Norton Motorcycles revives their glory using cutting-edge technology from FARO
FARO now helps Norton Motorcycles to meet the high quality requirements of today – even if their bikes are a revival of the motorsport aficionados’ dream from half a century ago.
Norton Motorcycles is an iconic name in British Motorcycle history and the phoenix is rising from the ashes at a new manufacturing facility, at the home of Motorcycle racing, Donnington Park. To make sure that quality is on the highest level, Norton use a FaroArm Platinum 2.4m to measure motorcycle parts, frames, sub assemblies, and finished products.
Brookhouse purchase FARO Gage to complement their existing suite of FARO hardware
Faro Technologies UK Ltd, the world’s leading provider of portable 3D measurement and imaging solutions, announces that Brookhouse Group have purchased a FARO Gage to complement their existing suite of FARO measuring equipment.
Managing Director Paul Atherton commented, “The ability to give confidence to our customers that we have the latest measuring capability in place to prove conformance is paramount. The FARO Gage provides us measuring capability that is highly flexible and provides operator interaction whilst delivering speedy results in defined customer formats.”
Software Tips & Tricks: Creating geometric entities from point sources
PowerINSPECT allows you to create geometric entities from point sources. These sources can be two or more measured geometric entities, or a collection of individual points.
Our software tips & tricks describe how to create a cylinder from two circles.
White Paper: An Introduction to Portable CMMs
This White Paper gives an introduction to portable 3D measurement technology and describes why portable measuring devices enjoy great popularity.
Companies receive the precise results required while gaining flexibility to use the device whereever and whenever it’s needed. Scrap can be reduced and measurement times can be shortened – both leading to improved product quality.
FARO & Aberlink Open House at Eastcombe (UK) on 8th July 2010
FARO and Aberlink are organizing an Open House in Eastcombe on 8th July. Visitors will be able to see demonstrations of FARO’s portable CMM and CAM2 Q measurement software as well as Aberlink’s software.
Successful MACH Show for FARO UK
Launch of partnership with Vodafone McLaren Mercedes and large order intake from 3D Scantech
Coventry, 18th June 2010 – FARO, the world’s leading provider of portable measurement and imaging systems, has seen a huge success at this year’s MACH which took place at the NEC, Birmingham from 7th – 11th June 2010.
David Homewood, Area Vice President for the UK, France and Benelux is highly satisfied with the outcome of the show, “MACH is the most established showcase for UK manufacturing. It is the UK’s premier manufacturing technologies event, and we have seen a very high level of interest in our products. We noticed that visitors are more and more educated and have deep understanding of the technology. Especially our FARO ScanArm received very positive feedback.”
