Chapter 4: Probes
CAUTION: Do not hold the Edge except in the button area when installing a
probe. Holding the Edge at the last joint may stress the tube and damage the
system.
• Rotate the probe clockwise and thread the probe into the Edge.
• Use the 12mm wrench to hand-tighten the probe, or the FARO Probe Torque
Wrench to tighten the i-Probe.
CAUTION: Only hand-tighten the probe with the 12mm wrench. Do not
over-tighten the probe.
Use your measuring software to set up and compensate the probe. See “Probes”
on page 178.
FARO Laser Line Probe
The FARO Laser Line Probe is a non-contact probe that collects digitized points
using a laser and a camera. The laser is projected onto your part as a line, the
camera takes a picture of the shape and position of the line, and creates several
points. These individual points are then sent to the computer.
Computer Requirements
The FARO Laser Line Probe will generate thousands of points in a short amount
of scanning time. When you add it to your Edge your computer must have a
powerful Central Processing Unit (CPU) and a large amount of Random Access
Memory (RAM). FARO recommends the following:
CPU - Intel i7 with 4 Cores (Quad Core)
RAM - 8GB minimum, 16 GB recommended
Laser Safety
The FARO Laser Line Probe outputs a visible red laser beam. Although this is a
CDRH Class II and IEC Class 2M power level, operation of the device requires
the operator to avoid direct exposure to eyes at all times.
You should avoid direct exposure to your eye at all times. Although the human
blink reaction to bright light provides a natural mechanism of protection to this
visible laser beam, use caution while handling the FARO Laser Line Probe by
pointing it at only the target object.
CAUTION: USE OF CONTROLS OR ADJUSTMENTS OR
PERFORMANCE OF PROCEDURES OTHER THAN THOSE SPECIFIED
HEREIN MAY RESULT IN HAZARDOUS LASER LIGHT EXPOSURE.
