FAROBlu Laser Line Probes 

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.

FaroArm Features

Multiple Working Volumes

Meet the needs of different applications with working volumes of 2.0m, 2.5m, 3.0m, 3.5m and 4.0m for each of the performance models.

Kinematic Mount Flexibility

Enhance speed and accessibility with a kinematic mount that allows LLPs and probes to be interchanged seamlessly without the need for compensation after each exchange.

Internal Counterbalancing

Operate with a single hand to limit fatigue and avoid damaging the FaroArm when a joint is unable to hold the weight.

Ergonomic Design and Portable

Transport, set up and operate FaroArms with ease and comfort.

Exclusive FARO Quantum X 8-Axis Max Integration

Quickly measure all sides of a part without repositioning. Simply rotate the part on the 8-Axis Max rotary worktable.

Temperature and Overload Sensors

Ensure continuous, optimum performance.

Powerful Software Solutions

Easily integrate FaroArms with FARO CAM2 or with most of the 3rd party inspection software.

Extended Battery Use Option

Operate without cables with the two, hot-swappable batteries.

High-speed Wireless Operation

Connect with included Bluetooth or Wi-Fi.

Family of Laser Line Probes (LLPs)

Achieve high-speed point cloud capture, high accuracy or a blend of both with LLPs, each hot swappable and purpose built.

Scanning and Probing 3D Metrology Applications

Improved Quality Control and Inspection 

Verify dimensional accuracy and identify deviations from nominal CAD data during first-article and in-process inspection, as well as inspection of incoming parts. 

Fabrication and Assembly

Keep production machinery calibrated and aligned, and verify dimensional accuracy of tooling and parts. 

Faster, More Accurate Product Design and Engineering

Expedite reverse-engineering and rapid prototyping for shorter time to market.
