FAROBlu Laser Line Probes
The range of Laser Line Probes (LLP) as an attachment add-on ensures maximum efficiency for a variety of needs: from large area fast scanning to high-accuracy, non-contact measurement of small features. FARO’s Laser Line Probes turn the FaroArm into a hybrid system that enables contact-less scanning and touch probing in one device – either from initial purchase or as a future buy, based on evolving business needs.
- FAROBlu® xR – Maximize scanning resolution and accuracy
This Laser Line Probe is ideal for high-precision tasks with tight tolerances to capture data at highest accuracy and best resolution possible. Users can scan small intricate parts and fine details with 1.5 times the accuracy, improving production quality with better and more reliable data. - FAROBlu® xP – Scan more productively
This Laser Line Probe offers the ability to scan anything with a balanced blend of accuracy, speed and coverage—increasing profitability and throughput with performance suitable for any application. - FAROBlu® xS – Significantly increase scan speed
This Laser Line Probe is best for large parts or expansive surface areas when data collection speed is top priority. The extrawide laser stripe delivers double the coverage in a single pass, allowing users to collect data up to 2.6x faster than the xR and 1.6X faster than the xP. Fewer passes to collect data means faster results and higher productivity. - FAROBlu® xE – Cost effective scanning
The FAROBlu xE LLP is the ideal non-contact 3D measurement technology solution for small to medium-sized companies looking to take advantage of efficiency 3D scanning options. With its simple yet powerful design, this device is perfect for lower accuracy applications like reverse engineering, making it an excellent option for businesses looking to improve their production yield, reduce scrap cost and increase profitability.
FARO 8-Axis Max- 8-Axis Rotary Worktable: Faster Measurement with any Quantum X Arm
