Problem Statement:
- In order to stay competitive, you need to meet increasingly strict quality standards — and do this as cost-effectively as possible. You can’t invest in a quality control or inspection solution only to find out that it doesn’t perform as you expected, or that it requires significant changes to your team’s workflow, skills or software.
- Traditional Bridge style CMMs and other stationary measurement methods do not alone provide the mobility and versatility required by today’s manufacturing standards.
Technology Solution Statement:
- Sometimes a part or tool is so large or complex, you can't use stationary CMMs or Arm systems. FARO® VantageS6 Max and VantageE6 Max Laser Trackers enable you to build and inspect products by measuring quickly, simply and precisely with exceptional portability. The Vantage Max Laser Trackers offer comprehensive, large-volume 3D measurement up to 80 meters, significantly streamlining your processes and reducing inspection cycle times while ensuring complete confidence in the results.
- Vantage Max can incorporate our highly accurate 6 degrees of freedom (6DoF) measurement capabilities via the optional 6Probe, which enables precise measurement of hidden areas and small features.
Benefits Statement:
- Quick and simple inspection process
- Easy to use software with no programming required
- Fully portable and wireless, allowing it to be used in the field unlike a traditional CMM
- Can bring the device to your parts.
- Laser Tracker allows detailed measurements of complex geometry across a very large envelope (up to 80 meters)
- Easy to apply coordinate system means little to no prep time per part
- Ready to use right out of the box
- No manual data entry is needed - measurements are automatically stored in the software
