PR Newswire (US)
SINGAPORE, Oct. 18 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- FARO Technologies,
Inc. (NASDAQ:FARO), the world market leader in portable
computer-aided measurement arms and laser tracker sales, announced
the release of the Fusion FaroArm. The new device blends styling
cues of the Company's Quantum FaroArm, but with a dramatically
lower price and up to 15-percent higher accuracy than the Titanium
Series it replaces. "Using technological advances we achieved when
developing the Quantum, we were able to create a new entry-level
model with .0014-inch (0.036 mm) accuracy and offer it at a
competitive market price," FARO President and CEO Jay Freeland
said. "High precision at this price point is unheard of, and
fulfills a sizable market demand." Designed for manufacturers who
want in-process measurement, reverse- engineering capabilities and
the ergonomics of the flagship Platinum FaroArm, the Fusion's
accuracy and lightweight construction mean that shop floor
personnel now have an even more affordable, portable solution for
their measurement needs. To operate, users simply guide the Arm's
touch-probe along the surface of the object to be measured. The
Fusion's laptop computer simultaneously illustrates the 3-D
measurements on-screen and records all of the data. It creates a
3-D "blueprint" of a part or machine components, making it an all-
in-one portable tool for performing inspections, tool
certification, CAD-to- Part analysis, or reverse engineering. "For
manufacturers that want to make their products and processes the
best in the world, there isn't another portable coordinate
measurement machine [CMM] on the market that combines the accuracy,
durability, technology and cost-effectiveness of the Fusion,"
Freeland said. The new Fusion FaroArm will be available for
shipment in November 2007. About FARO With more than 13,500
