FARO Technologies Inc. has combined two of its top-selling portable coordinate measuring machines into a single package called the TrackArm. The new offering unites the FARO Laser Tracker, which has a range of up to 230 ft., and the Platinum FaroArm, a long-reach probe with six degrees of freedom. Both systems share the same CAM2 Measure X software, making data retrieval easy. Users can switch from the Tracker to the Arm in seconds, and the Platinum FaroArm’s six degrees of freedom allow the operator to reach points that are out of the Laser Tracker’s line of sight.

“A manufacturer can use the FARO Laser Tracker for all of their large volume, 3-D measurement applications,” says Simon Raab, FARO co-founder and CEO. “Then they can use the Platinum FaroArm’s six degrees of freedom to reach the hidden points that all other tracker systems miss. That means they have the ability to measure anything, any size, anywhere, simultaneously, but now with no line-of-sight limitations and all on the same software interface.”
