LAKE MARY, Fla., Oct. 10, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- FARO
Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: FARO), the world's most trusted
source for 3D measurement and imaging solutions for factory
metrology, product design, construction BIM/CIM, public safety
forensics and 3D solutions and services applications, announces the
release of the all-new FARO FocusS 150 and
FocusS 350 Laser Scanners.
The FocusS 150 and 350 are the newest members of
FARO's well known Focus laser scanner product line. Both devices
are the most forward-thinking laser scanners on the market.
Designed for BIM/CIM, product design and public safety
applications, this new line of laser scanners brings together
several key features such as an International Protection Rating for
scanning in dusty or humid environments, a specified angular
accuracy value, an internal accessory bay providing a convenient
integration of versatile accessories and an on-site compensation
routine.
Both models deliver tremendous power, a reworked compact design,
and the flexibility to perform laser scanning in both indoor and
outdoor. With an increased scanning range of 150 meter and 350
meter, the laser scanners are ideal for various applications such
as architectural design, Building Information Modeling (BIM)
documentation, forensic investigation, reverse engineering and
CAD-based design.
"The FocusS models set a new standard for laser
scanners, loaded with advanced features all self-contained within
an aesthetically, yet durable design. The FocusS 150 and
350 contains all the most innovative and relevant features for AEC
and law enforcement professionals who strive to maximize their
efficiencies using laser scanning," stated Joe Arezone, Chief Commercial Officer of
FARO.
With their sealed design, the FocusS models are
certified via the industry standard International Protection (IP)
Rating, and classified in Class 54 for environmental endurance.
Both products will not only be protected from water splashes from
all directions, fog or rain, but also from other outdoor elements
such as dirt and dust particles that typically occur in extreme
scanning conditions.
The Laser Scanner FocusS 150 and 350 now include a
specified value for angular accuracy. The maximum deviation of the
first angle, perpendicular to the second angle, are defined and
increase the traceability of the scanning results for all
users.
The newly added on-site compensation feature now makes it
possible for users to verify the accuracy values of the laser
scanner and correct deviations automatically on-site. The
FocusS 150 and 350 devices will always be established to
scan in the best possible accuracy. By exporting the on-site
compensation report, a comprehensive accuracy document can be
provided to each scan project.
With the integrated accessory bay located at the scanner's top
chassis, additional accessories can be connected to the scanner
easily. This plug-and-play connection offers not only a
future-proof concept to expand the scanner's performance spectrum,
but also provides scanner customization built to the needs of each
user.
The ultra-portable FocusS 150 and 350 enables fast,
straightforward, and accurate measurements of objects and buildings
by sending out a fully eye-safe Class 1 laser beam. The
touch-screen of the FocusS 150 and 350 has been
increased in size and clarity and delivers an extraordinary user
interface experience. A built-in 8 mega-pixel, HDR-camera makes it
even easier to capture great imagery, to provide a natural color
overlay in extreme lighting situations to the scan data. The Focus'
light weight, small size and battery runtime of 4.5 hours per
charge makes the scanner truly mobile and enables scanning of
accident sites, architectural façades, complex structures,
large-volume components, production and supply facilities fast,
secure and reliable.
"Customers who have field tested our new laser scanners are
truly excited about the overall quality and affordable pricing;
both unique to the market," says Dr. Bernd-Dietmar Becker, FARO's Chief Technology
Strategist and Evangelist.
