The Quantum X FaroArm series is a metrology-grade portable CMM designed for inspection and quality control of industrial components, with 3D probing and scanning capabilities on parts of any shape and size.
The Quantum X measurement arm is configurable and scalable: it offers five working lengths, three levels of precision performance, and various scanning probes, allowing it to easily adapt to different applications and accuracy requirements.
Combined with the optional FARO 8-Axis Max system, an 8-axis rotary worktable, it allows for a reduction in measurement times by up to 40% while maintaining high precision, improving productivity and return on investment.
The Quantum X FaroArm series is designed to work where it is truly needed: near the part, on the shop floor, in the metrology lab, or directly on the production line. The portable CMM is easy to install, transport, and use even on large components, ensuring reliable measurements in diverse operational contexts.
- Configurable and scalable 5 arm lengths from 2.0 m to 4.0 m to adapt to small and large parts.
- 3D probing and scanning touch probes and laser probes for contact and non-contact inspections within the same system.
- Increased precision up to 15% compared to previous models in the FaroArm range, for tighter dimensional controls.
- FARO 8-Axis Max optional 8-axis rotary worktable that reduces scanning and probing times by up to 40% and extends the overall reach of the arm.
- Shop floor and in-line measurement designed for quality control directly in production, to reduce rework, scrap, and downtime.
- Cost reduction less rework and scrap, higher productivity, and reduced cycle times, with a rapid return on investment.
- Complex 3D inspections high-point-density scans and automatic reports to identify defects and deviations from the nominal.
Multiple working volumes
Five working volumes (2.0 m, 2.5 m, 3.0 m, 3.5 m, 4.0 m) to cover diverse application needs, from compact components to large-scale parts.
Flexible kinematic mount
Kinematic mount that allows for quick and seamless replacement of LLPs and probes, without the need for re-compensation after each change.
Compliance with standards
Compliant with rigorous ISO 10360 performance standards, for traceable measurement results aligned with international metrological best practices.
Ergonomic and portable design
Robust yet lightweight structure, designed to be easily transported, configured, and used even in mobile applications and production environments.
8-Axis Max integration
Exclusive integration with the FARO Quantum X 8-Axis Max rotary worktable to quickly measure all sides of the part simply by rotating it, without repositioning.
Internal counterbalancing
Internal counterbalancing that allows the arm to be maneuvered with one hand, reducing fatigue and protecting the FaroArm in the event of heavy joints.
Advanced sensors and connectivity
Temperature and overload sensors ensure consistent performance; high-speed wireless functions via Bluetooth/Wi-Fi and hot-swap battery options allow for cable-free use.
Software integration
Compatible with FARO CAM2 and most third-party inspection software, for simple integration into existing measurement workflows.
LLP, CLR, and smart probes
Family of high-speed, high-precision laser scanning probes (LLP) with CLR technology for dark or reflective surfaces, plus smart probe functionality for quick changes.
The Quantum X FaroArm series represents the benchmark in metrology-grade portable 3D measurements, combining maximum probing precision with advanced non-contact scanning performance. Configurable in 6 or 7-axis versions, with five lengths from 2.0 m to 4.0 m and three levels of precision performance, it flexibly adapts to small and large parts, on the shop floor, in the metrology lab, and directly in production. The series offers up to a 15% increase in accuracy compared to previous models, with volumetric precision up to 23 µm on 2.0 m arms and up to 63 µm on the 4.0 m model, while 3D scanning reaches 30 µm precision with a speed of up to 1.2 million points per second and point spacing down to 15 µm for high detail.
Quality control and inspections
Quantum X FaroArm supports quality control at every stage of the process, from first-article inspection to in-process and incoming inspection, verifying dimensional accuracy and deviations from nominal CAD data directly on the shop floor or in the department.
Fabrication and assembly
The system helps keep machinery, equipment, and robots aligned and calibrated, allowing for quick verification of the dimensional accuracy of tools and parts and reducing rework, bottlenecks, and plant downtime in production, fabrication, and assembly.
Fabrication and assembly
High-point-density 3D scanning capabilities make Quantum X ideal for reverse engineering, rapid prototyping, and validation of new designs, accelerating time-to-market and improving the quality of digital models and finished components.
