FARO Laser Line Probe HD
The FARO Laser Line Probe HD is a non-contact probe that collects digitized
points using a line of projected laser light and a camera. The laser light is
projected onto your part as a line, the camera takes a picture of the shape and
position of the line, and several points are then sent to the computer. This is done
many times in a second to quickly measure curved surfaces, or surfaces that can
not be measured using a standard ball probe.
NOTE: The FARO Laser Line Probe only connects to a 7-Axis Quantum.
Computer Requirements
The FARO Laser Line Probe will generate thousands of points in a short amount
of scanning time. For best results, 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, 32 GB recommended
