Any thoughts as to the benifits of Romer over Faro? My shop is thinking of getting a portable CMM and I'd like to get some imput as to which you think is better. Also do you have any suggestions in gereral for what to be careful about with portable CMMs?
We have been using Faro arms for about 5 years in our office. We just bout a Romer arm with Laser scanner about a month ago. The Cam 2 software is very simple to use out of the box for simple setups and quick measurements. The software is very limited to their caned measurement features. Also we have had a lot of encoder problems with our arms. They have never made it from one annual calibration to the next without having to be repaired. I am just starting with pcdemis and have been impressed so for. The cad capability is much better the Cam 2. It picks up the nominal without any problem. With Cam 2 you must define all of them first and then measure them. I hope this helps. Jeff
