The most accurate and accessible portable measuring arm for small geometries, designed for fast and reliable inspections directly on the shop floor and small production lines.
FARO Gage Max is a compact portable CMM, designed for machine shops and small production lines that need to perform fast and reliable dimensional inspections on small parts
Instead of a scattered collection of calipers, micrometers, and height gauges, Gage Max offers a single intuitive, ergonomic, and cost-effective 3D measurement system that sets up in seconds and enables direct comparison with nominal CAD data.
Gage Max is the most accurate FARO measuring arm in the compact range, ideal for shop floor inspections, machine setup, and routine inspections of small parts, molds, and assemblies. By reducing measurement times, errors associated with manual tools, and the need to move parts to the metrology lab, it helps improve quality, keep production under control, and achieve a return on investment in a short time

FARO Arm Gage Max is the most accurate and cost-effective 3D CMM in the FARO range, designed to bring reliable measurements directly to the shop floor with an accessible investment. It enables safe measurements across a wide range of industrial applications, reducing inspection times, dependence on fixed CMMs and manual tools, and ensuring significant economic return in the short term. In a compact format, Gage Max sets a new market benchmark in terms of performance and cost-effectiveness, continuing the FARO tradition of maximum accuracy, consistency, and measurement reliability in any work environment.
Improved quality control and inspections
FARO Gage Max enables direct verification on the shop floor of part dimensional accuracy by comparing them with the CAD model, immediately identifying deviations and non-conformities in first article inspection, in-process, and incoming components. This reduces bottlenecks in the metrology lab, speeds up verification activities, and helps stabilize production processes.
Faster and more precise product design and engineering
In product development, Gage Max supports rapid prototyping and geometric validation phases, enabling precise 3D inspections directly where the part is machined. This accelerates iteration cycles between design and shop floor, reduces errors during industrialization, and contributes to shorter time-to-market.
