Used FARO Quantum S 4m Portable Coordinate Measuring Machine

1. General Introduction

The FARO Quantum S 4m FaroArm is a pre - owned yet high - performance portable coordinate measuring machine (PCMM) that has been a trusted tool in various industries for dimensional inspection, reverse engineering, and more. It offers a cost - effective solution for companies looking to enhance their quality control and measurement capabilities without the high cost of a brand - new unit.

2. Key Features

2.1High - Precision Measurement

2.1.1 Contact Measurement Accuracy: For 6 - axis configurations, the Single Point Articulation Test (SPAT) accuracy is within 0.045 mm, and for sphere probing size, it can achieve an accuracy of 0.020 mm. In 7 - axis setups, the SPAT accuracy is 0.055 mm, and the sphere probing size accuracy reaches 0.026 mm. These precise measurements ensure that your parts and assemblies meet the most demanding specifications.

2.1.2Non - Contact Measurement (with compatible probes): When equipped with the FARO Blu HD technology for non - contact scanning, the system accuracy can reach within 0.080 mm for 6 - axis and 0.078 mm for 7 - axis in 8 - axis system non - contact measurement scenarios. The innovative FARO Prizm also offers good non - contact measurement accuracy, with 0.085 mm for 6 - axis and 0.108 mm for 7 - axis in the 8 - axis system.

2.2 Ergonomic Design

2.2.1Weight Optimization: The overall weight of the Quantum S 4m FaroArm has been carefully optimized, making it easier to handle during long - term use. The comfortable handles are designed to reduce operator fatigue, allowing for more efficient and accurate measurements.

2.2.2Quick - Swap Probes: It features FARO kinematic intelligent probes, enabling quick and easy probe swapping during inspections without the need for recalibration. This significantly speeds up the measurement process, especially when dealing with complex parts that require different types of probes.

2.3 Durability and Reliability

2.3.1 IEC 60068 - 2 Certification: This FaroArm is certified to IEC 60068 - 2 standards for shock, vibration, and temperature stress relief. It has been thoroughly tested to withstand harsh working environments, ensuring that it can be used reliably in factory floors, workshops, and other industrial settings.

2.3.2Robust Construction: Housed in a durable case, the Quantum S 4m can be easily transported to different job sites. Whether you need to perform measurements in - house or on - site, this arm is ready to go wherever you need it.

2.4 Advanced Connectivity

2.4.1 High - Speed Wireless Operation: Equipped with integrated Wi - Fi, it offers faster connection times and a greater range. This allows for seamless wireless scanning and probing operations, providing unparalleled coverage across the production floor. You can transfer data quickly and efficiently without the hassle of cables.

2.4.2 Hot - Swappable Batteries: Dual hot - swappable batteries support prolonged cable - free operation. This means you can continue your measurement tasks without interruption, even when there is no access to external power sources. It gives you the freedom to move around the measurement area with ease.

      3. Applications

3.1 Quality Control in Manufacturing: Use it for 3D inspections, dimensional analysis, CAD - based inspection, first article inspection, incoming inspection, in - process inspection, on - machine inspection, part inspection, and final inspection. It helps manufacturers identify any deviations from the design specifications, ensuring that only high - quality products are released into the market.

3.2 Reverse Engineering: The Quantum S 4m FaroArm is an excellent tool for reverse engineering projects. By capturing accurate 3D data of existing parts or products, you can create digital models that can be used for design improvements, replication, or integration into new product development processes.

3.3 Tool Building & Setup: In tool building and setup processes, it can be used to ensure the accuracy of fixtures, jigs, and other tooling components. This helps in reducing production errors and improving the overall efficiency of the manufacturing process.
