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
Yeah, but no training to go with them! It's all a matter of time and equipment. I don't have the time to spend 6-8 hours using the Konica-Minolta scanning camera we have on a single, complex detail, and it's useless for scanning a part (especially a BIG part) since it is a stand-alone unit with no 'tracking', you have to manually over-lay each 480x640 point scan with all the others you take, then have the software "align" each one to all the others, not to mention the need to then create the surface data from it. Too much of this stuff to do, no time to do it. Not to mention we have a couple customers who are starting to require full part scans w/ reports showing certain percentages of ALL the part to be within xxxx, and places that come into your shop to do it charge up the yin-yang. It has been calcualted, based upon those costs to have people come in to do it, that the unit will 'pay for itself' with just 4-5 sets of tooling (depending on how many times the customer requires full-part scans).
