FaroArm Quantum X

Articulated Arm CMM – a flexible solution for precise 3D measurement and 3D scanning

An articulated arm measuring system, also known as a portable measuring arm, is a modern and flexible alternative to a traditional fixed coordinate measuring machine (CMM). It is ideally suited for both tactile 3D measurement and fast 3D scanning – especially when the parts to be measured are difficult to access or when measurements need to be performed directly on the shop floor.

A portable measuring arm offers clear advantages: fast setup, rapid measurement and reduced operator dependency compared to large, stationary CMM solutions.

Quantum X FaroArm – the next generation of articulated arm technology

The Quantum X FaroArm series represents the next step in the evolution of articulated arm measurement technology. The range is designed both for users taking their first steps into portable coordinate metrology and for demanding professionals who require market-leading accuracy.

The solution combines ease of use, high measurement accuracy and versatility into one complete system – exactly what FARO is known for.

Key technical benefits

Up to 15% higher measurement accuracy
All Quantum X arms deliver up to 15% higher accuracy compared to the previous generation. This improves measurement reliability and reduces the need for additional measuring systems.

Scalable and configurable measurement solution
Quantum X is a fully configurable articulated arm system:

  • five different arm lengths
  • three accuracy classes
  • multiple Laser Line Probe options

The solution scales seamlessly for quality control, production and product development applications.

Measurement and scanning with one device

Combine tactile measurement and 3D scanning in a single system:

  • precise tolerance measurements using a probe
  • fast and dense point clouds with a 3D scanner
  • no compromises between speed and accuracy

Business benefits of an articulated measuring arm

One solution for a wide range of measurement needs
Improved accuracy reduces the need for multiple measuring systems and simplifies your overall metrology equipment.

Consistent and repeatable measurement results
Ease of use ensures reliable and repeatable results, independent of the operator.

Increase production efficiency
Accurate coordinate measurement reduces scrap, rework and measurement-related issues in production.

Improve quality and traceability
Versatile 3D measurement capabilities and automated reporting help detect deviations quickly.

Capture even the smallest details
Quantum X articulated arms are ideal for:

  • measuring complex parts
  • quality inspection
  • reverse engineering

Increase throughput and speed up time to market
Shorter inspection times and faster product development improve overall efficiency.

Typical applications for 3D measurement and 3D scanning

Quality control and inspection
First article inspection, in-process measurement and incoming part verification against the CAD model.

Manufacturing and assembly
Geometric verification of tools, machines and assemblies, as well as calibration of production equipment.

Product design and development
Faster reverse engineering, prototyping and iteration with shorter development cycles.

Scan fast – accurately – now

The Quantum X articulated arm enables fast 3D scanning without compromise. Measurement is efficient, ergonomic and precise – while reducing operator fatigue and accelerating decision-making.
