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?
The Faro Arm is pretty good, We got one about 2 years ago. My biggest fault with the Cam 2 software is that it doesn't have feature recognition. Other than that it is pretty user friendly. We have only had one issue with ours, the encoder went out on one of the axis', they turnaround time for repair was about 2 weeks. There are 2 other companies in this area that we do work for and both of them have had trouble with encoders going bad. As for the Romer, I played around with an old one at a customers place once but to compare it to the newer model Faro wouldn't be comparing apples to apples.
If the need arose for another portable I would definetly look at Faro again, but wouldn't limit myself to that choice.
