Gage ideal for these times
The accurate 3D portable coordinate, measurement machine the Faro Gage, is. ideal for small and medium-sized businesses performing high-accuracy tasks.
The Gage is the most intuitive, ergonomic, and versatile articulated portable FaroArm, enabling machine shops to perform their most demanding 3D inspections in record time.
The all-in-one-solution also reduces calibration costs and minimises clutter, replacing traditional hand tools such as calipers, micrometers, and height gauges, while providing 20 percent more reach than the previous-generation Gage arm.
Lightweight and portable but with the precision of a lab instrument and the ruggedness of a shop floor device, the Gage sets up in seconds, reduces inspection time, and delivers quality results with exceptional flexibility, resulting in increased speed and productivity.
When it comes to measurement equipment value; accuracy, portability, speed and affordability matter, Too often machine shops rely on expensive and hard-to-use fixed CMMs that take up valuable floor space or a multitude of hand tools that slow down the process. The Gage eliminates these inefficiencies.
As a result, inspection bottlenecks are greatly reduced, measurement accuracy is improved, and operator variability is significantly minimised.
As the world begins emerging from the Covid-19 pandemic, the value proposition for such a product could not be clearer. While global industry is presently suppressed, economists predict a robust recovery by Q3 and Q4. That means that many machine shops now operating at half speed will rapidly ramp up production. Demand will surge and products will require fast-tracked release.
The Gage achieves this aim by improving efficiency and productivity. That efficiency begins with setup.
A universal quick mount ensures compatibility with a variety of mounting options that allows it to be set up anywhere, including on-machine.
A simple 2-button design, 6-point articulation and built-in counterbalance deliver exceptional ease of use and fatigue-free operation. Its compact design makes the product lightweight and easy to transport.
The Gage is compatible with Faro’s full line of metrology software, including CAM2 Probing, the simple contact measurement solution. The result is an advanced metrology device that delivers unparalleled performance.
Small and medium size operations can now take full advantage of 3D measurement technology,
For machine shops, quality problems, imprecise measurement, scrapped parts, extended wait times and customers part rejections all contribute to unnecessary expenses that become more critical during these trying economic times.
The Gage allows for more streamlined processes, significant waste reduction, and quick return on investment.
Gage allows more companies to benefit from lean manufacturing practices and will be employing the new industry standard in compact performance and affordability.
