FARO Edge

Chapter 5: Accuracy
positions are not accurate. This condition is never encountered in the
compensation of the Edge. Common areas of measurement where this loss occurs
are:
• when an encoder has reached a hard end-stop,
• directly above the Edge, or
• in close to the base of the Edge.
The Edge should always feel fluid in its movement. If excessive force is needed
to move to a measuring location, a degree of freedom has probably been lost. The
following figures illustrate some of the possible positions of the Edge where a
degree of freedom has been lost.
