Product information

FARO Gage, Gage Plus and PowerGage are high-precision, portable tools for carrying out 3D coordinate measurements. These portable instruments have a working range of 1.2 metres and offer a measurement accuracy of ±0.005mm. A variety of attachment options enable rapid gaging directly at the shop floor due to maximum portability. With FARO PowerGage, components can be measured and inspected based on CAD data, as well. The measurement tool contains a powerful software programming module, as well as a player module for fast orientation.

These portable CMM make inspection and calibration easy – replacing traditional tools like calipers – thus increasing quality and efficiency in production. The FARO tool also reduces measurement uncertainty and measurement errors – i.e. in industries like metal fabrication and manufacture of machine tools.
