Custom Probes
You can create any size probe to attach to
the Edge.
• The Edge probe thread size is 1¼”-20.
• The base of the probe should follow the
shape of the FARO probes.
Your custom probe should be as rigid as
possible. Any deflection in the probe will
add inaccuracy to the Edge system.
N
OTE: FARO Technologies, Inc. does not
guarantee the accuracy of the Edge with
the use of a custom probe.
Installing Probes
The probe attaches to the threaded handle at the end of the Edge. Use the 12mm
wrench in the Probe Case to install the probe.
N
OTE: Use the FARO Probe Torque Wrench to tighten the FARO i-Probe. The
probe wrench will break free when you apply the proper amount of torque.
• Hold the button area near the end of the Edge with one hand.
