Single Point Articulation Test (SPAT)
Mounting should always be tested prior to a SPAT test. The SPAT test checks the
repeatability of the Quantum's X, Y and Z coordinates throughout its range of
motion.
Set up the FARO compensation cone, or a hole on your part,
approximately ⅔ of the Quantum's reach away from its base.
In CAM2 software, start the SPAT routine from the DIAGNOSTICS dialog
box.
• In the FaroArm Manager, click PROBE MANAGEMENT.
• In CAM2 Measure, click Devices > Hardware Configuration, and
in the FARO D
EVICE CONTROL PANEL click PROBE MANAGEMENT.
In the PROBE MANAGEMENT dialog box, click SINGLE POINT
A
RTICULATION TEST (SPAT).
• For more information, see “Probes” on page 55.
Place and hold the calibrated probe in the compensation cone or any
conical socket.
Start with the elbow of the Quantum to one side and press the green
Front button.
Watch the screen and slowly sweep the elbow so that it ends up on the
opposite side.
NOTE: Measurements automatically record as the elbow moves.
• In the dialog box, watch the status bar. Sweep the elbow all the way
to the opposite side.
