Romer vs Faro

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?

  • Everything is a compromise. We purchased a ROMER and I have used a FARO before. Ergonomically speaking I prefer the FARO to the ROMER. Software I prefer the ROMER. I think the ROMER is unweildy when compared to the FARO. The pistol grip of the faro was very intuitive and the ROMER feels clumsy by comparison. And, PLEASE!!!!!!! the different modes (mouse and inspection) is insane the way Hexagon decided to handle it. Clumsy.

    OK, my rant is over. ROMER with Polyworks is the direction we are going and it appears to be SWEET!!!!!!!
