Chapter 6: Maintenance and Troubleshooting
• DO NOT drag the probe over the FARO Compensation Plate during the
plane measurement. Lift the probe in between points to avoid scratching
the surface of the plate.
• Poor probe compensation technique.
• DO NOT do short sweeps with the FARO Laser Line Probe during
compensation.
• Dirty lens.
• Clean the top and bottom lenses with the cloth from the FARO Laser
Line Probe case. Dirt and grease on either lens can cause poor results.
Probes
• Measuring with Point Probes.
• Measuring with chipped, loose or cracked ball probes.
• Measuring with probe extensions. The extensions will deflect.
Measurement Environment
• Measuring close to an end stop can induce unwanted stress.
• Binding or hyper-extending the Quantum can cause unnecessary stress.
• “Leap Frogging” or repositioning the device using the Move Device Position
command.
• Excessive vibration in the surrounding area can produce unwanted results.
• Rapid changes in ambient temperature can cause errors in the Quantum's
automatic temperature compensation.
• Measuring using poor techniques; minimum number of measured points per
feature, moving while recording individual points, small coverage area, etc.
NOTE: If the Quantum is mounted on granite, do not measure objects
that are not mounted to the granite.
Quantum Setup
Check that ambient temperature is not fluctuating more than 3°C
(5.4°F) over a five minute period.
