Chapter 10: Configuring the FARO Edge in CAM2 Measure
Sphere Compensation Method
Perform the Sphere Compensation using a precision sphere
or tooling ball. The sphere should be at least 10mm (3/8”)
diameter or larger. You will digitize 44 individual points in
specific locations around the sphere by pressing the
GREEN button for each.
CAUTION: The ball probe must remain in contact with
the sphere while digitizing points. Even one or two
poorly digitized points significantly affects the
optimization process, which then has an effect on the
accuracy of the Edge.
• Digitize 11 points around the
top hemisphere of the sphere
with the probe pointing in
position #1. Hold the handle in
the same direction and
orientation for every point.
• Rotate the handle 90 degrees.
