US: FARO has announced the launch of its VectorRI Imaging Laser Radar, which provides an ultra-high speed, large-volume, non-contact 3D measurement solution with high-resolution 3D imaging and projection guidance for manual and automated manufacturing processes.
“This product introduces a new class of LiDAR with High Speed Imaging (HSI) technology. HSI combines ultra-high speed 3D scanning and ranging with high-resolution 3D imaging and projection. The solution is a groundbreaking advancement in large-volume, non-contact metrology and guidance – and promises to provide industrial manufacturers with significant inspection cycle time reduction and exceptional throughput,” said FARO president and CEO, Dr. Simon Raab.
The FARO VectorRI utilizes this fast and accurate LiDAR HSI technology to deliver a continuous stream of high-resolution surface data with scanning speed that is thousands of times faster than any currently-available technology.
The industry-leading speed is enabled by the use of advanced galvo-mirror beam steering as opposed to the conventional gimbal arrangement deployed by other solutions. Not only does the solution provide unmatched speed, the FARO VectorRI has proprietary 3D imaging capabilities to provide qualitative and quantitative inspection data.
The large-volume, high-definition 3D imaging and recognition functionality allows the FARO VectorRI to detect features within the scan, improving the ability to measure and inspect corners, fasteners, tooling balls and hole centers as well as fitting 3D shapes over very large areas. Additionally, high-resolution scanning, capable of composing an image of 400 million pixels, provides high-resolution zoom capabilities on critical features.
The FARO VectorRI Imaging Laser Radar is a game-changing solution for large-volume surface inspection and measurement of parts, assemblies and tools, in-process guidance and verification, fully-automated in-line inspection or any application requiring high-resolution scan data.
Currently, the FARO VectorRI is only available to the FARO Early Adopter (EA) community. FARO’s EA Program provides leading edge products to qualified customers for limited product introductions. For further questions, you can sign up for the FARO EA Program and can experience the new solution yourself.
