Through simple plug-and-play, users can attach a FAROBluTM or PrizmTM Laser Line Probe to the FARO Quantum FaroArm®, creating an all-in-one measurement solution: The Quantum ScanArm.

The hard probe and the FAROBlu Laser Line Probe can digitize interchangeably without having to remove either component. Users can digitize simple features with the Arm’s hard probe and seamlessly scan across diverse surface materials regardless of contrast, reflectivity or part complexity without any special coatings or target placement.

The FAROBlu or Prizm Laser Line Probe can be used in conjunction with the FARO 8-Axis Quantum FaroArm, the first – and only – eight-axis portable metrology solution available on the marketplace. The resulting FARO 8-Axis Quantum ScanArm offers a comprehensive, contact/non-contact metrology solution, which allows users to significantly speed up and simplify their measurement and scanning activities.

Blue and Green Laser

The FAROBlu Laser Line Probe leverages an optically-superior blue laser technology. The blue laser has a shorter wavelength compared to red laser and delivers improved scanning results with higher resolution thanks to its greater ability to discover smaller details in an object. The blue laser also provides a 50% reduction in speckle noise compared to a red laser. In contrast, the Prizm Laser Line Probe takes advantage of green laser technology’s ability to provide high color visual definition to deliver color scanning capabilities for high resolution color point cloud data capture and analysis.

Advanced Sensor

The FAROBlu and Prizm Laser Line Probe camera uses the most advanced CMOS technology to deliver fast frame rate (the number of times per second that the camera gathers new data on the part being scanned) of up to 300 frames per second (fps) (FAROBlu HD).

Custom Optics

The FAROBlu and Prizm Laser Line Probes boast superior, large-diameter, custom optics that collect more light and more data to deliver better accuracy and sharper and brighter images. Utilizing a greater sweet spot, they support a wider laser line width that scans a larger area, providing faster, more productive scanning.

Laser Line Width

The FAROBlu and Prizm Laser Line Probes feature laser line width of 150mm. The extensive line width scans a larger area, delivering fast and efficient scanning. Additionally, the Laser Line Probes feature solid, blue or green laser beam generated without the use of moving components which can be sensitive to vibration, potentially inducing errors in accuracy and impacting productivity by forcing repeat scans.

Users can pair any of the three Quantum FaroArm variations with the two FAROBlu Laser Line Probe models or the FARO Prizm Laser Line Probe, as well as select from our eight and seven-axis options. This allows users to tailor their solution to meet their specific contact/non-contact and measurement requirements.

FAROBlu Laser Line Probe HD

The Quantum FaroArm combined with the FAROBlu Laser Line Probe HD (High Definition) delivers unparalleled non-contact measurement capabilities by integrating the best laser scanner available in the market, which provides the highest fidelity point cloud data at high speed. It leverages an optically-superior blue laser technology, for improved scanning and higher resolution.

FAROBlu Laser Line Probe SD

The Quantum FaroArm in combination with the FAROBlu Laser Line Probe SD (Standard Definition) offers an entry-level ScanArm solution featuring the same best-in-class FAROBlu technology at an excellent price/performance ratio. It leverages an optically-superior blue laser technology, for improved scanning and higher resolution.

FARO Prizm Laser Line Probe

The FARO Prizm Laser Line Probe delivers high-resolution, 3D color scanning and allows users to view, inspect and manipulate detail-rich, 3D color point clouds of parts or assemblies. The Quantum combined with the Prizm Laser Line Probe provides the high fidelity required for accurate color point cloud data capture and is ideally suited for inspections where color data and visualization of surface texture are essential for analysis and documentation. Additionally, users can switch to grayscale or monochromatic modes, which provide options for higher scanning rates.
