Quantum X FaroArm Series Portable CMMs Scan Shiny Parts Faster
Inspection teams measuring dark, shiny, reflective, or high-contrast parts often lose time to rescans, parameter tuning, and manual point cloud cleanup before they can run a CAD comparison. The Quantum X FaroArm Series of portable coordinate measuring machines (CMMs) combines contact probing and noncontact laser scanning in one arm. Its FAROBlu laser line probes (LLPs) now run DTEX image processing, which improves time to data on challenging surfaces by up to 60% without compromising measurement integrity.
The series offers up to 15% higher accuracy than previous-generation Quantum Max arms, with five arm lengths from 7 to 13 ft (2 to 4 m) and three accuracy levels. Adding an LLP converts the arm from contact probing to noncontact scanning, and users can swap between LLPs without recalibration.
DTEX produces cleaner, more consistent point clouds with less parameter tuning, so quality teams reach deviation analysis and part disposition sooner. When paired with the 8-Axis Max integrated rotary worktable, the arm measures all sides of a part without repositioning and cuts measurement time by up to 40%.
