Diagnosing FARO Laser Line Probe Accuracy Problems
Always diagnose the Edge prior to diagnosing the FARO Laser Line Probe. If the
Edge is not mounted correctly, or the hard probe is not accurately compensated,
then the FARO Laser Line Probe will produce inaccurate results.
Allow the FARO Laser Line Probe to warm-up for 30 minutes. For optimum
performance, FARO recommends you allow the equipment to warm-up for 60
minutes.
Clean the top and bottom lenses with the cloth from the FARO Laser Line
Probe Case. Dirt and grease on either lens can cause poor results.
Place the FARO Compensation Plate approximate ⅔ of the Edge's reach away
from its base.
N
OTE: Secure the plate firmly to the table. If you are clamping at more than
one location, make sure that the surface is flat so that the plate does not bend.
Clamping only on one end may create a “spring board” effect.
