Which Portable Arm??

Peter Warcholyk
G'day Folks,

I don't know if this has been discussed in the past. I have no knowledge of portable arm cmm's.

I have run various cmm's in my career. I am currently using pcdmis version 3.7mr3.

What may be some of the pros and cons (if any) among the various types of portable arm cmms?

Are they difficult to become accustomed to?

I do appreciate your input.

Best Regards,

  • Hello,
    You may have gotten enough info on this, but I just have to add .02 ti this one. I have ran and dealt with the accurracy issues with the Faro Platinum. We used the cam 2 software. While the software was good, it did have it's minor issues. As for an R&R, it was a little bit of a problem, especially since you control the movement. However Cam2 did include a home in option, which gives an audible tone and crosshairs to lock into the location. It is just a little time consuming. The accurracy is more around .005" and not the .002" as indicated. This can also be influenced by the operator as I demonstrated during my instruction with a qa tech that was going to do the measurements for me. So depending on the application, I give Faro a 7 in versatility and a 5 in accurracy.
