Chapter 4: Probes
NOTE: For accurate measuring, you must compensate the probe. Use your
measuring software to set up and compensate the probe. See “Probes” on
page 178 and “Compensation” on page 160.
FARO i-Probe
The Edge uses the optional FARO i-Probe. This is an
electronically serialized intelligent probe that automatically
provides its actual exact ball diameter to the Edge and monitors
probe body temperature to compensate for thermal deformation.
N
OTE: FARO i-Probes will not attach to FaroArm Platinum or
Fusion. Installing the i-Probe to anything other than a
FaroArm Edge or a FaroArm Quantum damages the i-Probe.
You must activate the i-Probe:
• On the Fold-Down Touch Screen Controller:
1 Touch the PROBE COMPENSATION button.
2 Touch the HOLE COMPENSATION or HOLE COMPENSATION button.
3 Touch the correct probe.
4 Touch the SETTINGS button.
5 Touch the ENABLE I-PROBE button.
6 Touch OK.
See “Compensation” on page 160.
• In your measuring software (CAM2 Q, CAM2 Measure, CAM2 Measure X,
Geomagic, Polyworks, etc.), select the U
SE I-PROBE check box in the PROBES
dialog box. See “Probes” on page 178.
