Are Faro romer arms self calibrating?

We have a Faro arm that the operator showed me has a feature that tells that the tip is in calbration. Now I know very little about this but is it possible? If you need more info to answer just let me know. I will do my best.
Thanks in advance

  • Thanks guys for the information.
    Having this info does me no good since I am not allowed to play with it. But at least I know more than I did yesterday and there is something to be said for that.

    maybe someday.....

    Wes... you are correct I didn't know enough about it to realize that.


    I've been told we are getting a Romer 7520SI, 7525SI or 7530SI "in the next few months".

    This one has the quick-change probes on it that I've been told has no calibration routine required for probe-to-laser or probe-to-probe, that the calibration data for the probe is "written" into the base of the probe and the machine reads this and uses it. Pop off tip1, pop on tip2, no calibration needed, pop off the tip, use the laser, no calibration needed. Of course, probably won't be any in-house training on it or the software, and who knows when I can go somewhere for training, "Here, use this, gimme data" kind of thing.
