“We over-nighted the first inspection results and our new dimensions to the machine shops and got better housings from them almost immediately. As a result, the system paid for itself in two weeks ”

PowerINSPECT inspection software on FARO devices

FARO Technologies Inc. is a leading manufacturer of 3D measurement technology. In quality departments worldwide FARO devices such as the FARO arm, are used to solve dimensional metrology problems and verify product quality. Industries such as automotive, aerospace, energy and medical benefit from FARO hardware, where it is often accompanied by the world’s leading hardware-independent inspection software, PowerINSPECT. PowerINSPECT is ideally suited for manual inspection on FARO arms in these applications and offers quick measurement results and professional reporting wherever inspection is required.

PowerINSPECT’s speed, flexibility and ease-of-use make it perfect for every situation. Features such as guided measurement ensure consistency throughout the inspection routine and aid the user when taking measurements, while data acquisition is further enhanced through audio and visual aids. This facilitates more consistent and repeatable measurements. Furthermore, in-process inspection allows quality personnel to develop inspection routines whilst production staff can measure them. A 'Play Only' version of PowerINSPECT ensures that production staff cannot then amend the inspection routines set by quality personnel.

Many features make PowerINSPECT highly attractive to users of FARO measurement equipment such as the FaroArm, the FARO Laser ScanArm, and the FARO Laser Tracker.
