Chapter 1: Introduction

Chapter 2: Ball Probes

Two metric ball probes (one 3mm and one 6mm) ship for regular
measurement with your FaroArm.
Many probes have a 6M x 1 thread pattern that work with older
FaroArm models (Gold, Silver, Sterling, Bronze). The Platinum and
Fusion FaroArms, and the FARO Gage have a 1.25 - 20 thread
pattern.
Prior to February 1998, the typical probe and arm thread pattern was
.375 - 24 UNF.
Thread adapters are available to connect any probe to your FaroArm.
See Probe Adapters on page 15.
Below is a list of the imperial and metric ball probes available for the
FaroArm. The dimension of the ball probe relates to the actual size of
the ball itself (tip), not the adapter.
NOTE: FARO Technologies Inc. only guarantees the accuracy of
the FaroArm using standard Imperial Ball Probes or Metric Ball
Probes.

Chapter 3: Point Probes

Unlike larger ball probes, point probes are very small and sharp. When
using point probes, take special care to ensure the tip of the point probe
has direct contact with the sphere or object you are measuring.
NOTE: Use caution when handling point probes. Tungsten carbide is
hard (9 on Moh's scale), scratch resistant and heat resistant but brittle
and the tips may break if not handled with care.

Chapter 4: Probe Accessories

There are many probe accessories available for your FaroArm. In
addition to standard ball probes (see Ball Probes on page 3), thread
adapters and probes for specialized measurement add to the flexibility
of your FaroArm.
Probe Adapters
The thread patterns for probes and FaroArms are not all the same size.
You may need to purchase a probe adapter to install a differently-
threaded probe onto your FaroArm.

Calibrate a swivel probe using the Sphere Calibration technique in the
application software (work with the round side of the probe). A new
probe will need to be created the first time this probe is used with the
software.
NOTE: Be sure to calibrate the probe in Inches (0.5 in); otherwise, the
software will read the probe diameter as 0.5 mm and the probe will
not calibrate properly.

Magnetized Probe - Part # XH15-0089

The Magnetized Probe is a disk that mounts to a standard 14 steel ball
probe and is used on foam parts. The disk decreases the surface
pressure of the probe on the part, which reduces part deflection.
Magnetized Probe Magnetized Probe

with 1/4" Ball Probe
To use the Magnetized Probe, first determine the effective probe radius
using the following procedure.
1 Calibrate the 14 or 6mm ball probe as you normally would.
2 Measure a plane on a hard flat surface.
3 Measure a point in the cone of the Magnetized Probe. Digitize
multiple points in the same location to get a best-fit point.
4 Dimension the distance between the point and the plane.

Surface Requirements
Magnetic power is often pictured as lines of magnetic force flowing
from north pole to south pole. Anything that limits the flow of these
magnetic lines of force reduces the magnets capacity. The following is
a list of important factors which limit the flow of these lines of force.
1 Surface Conditions
Anything that creates an air gap between the magnet and the
mounting surface reduces the magnets capacity.
The bottom surface of the Magnetic Mount must be clean, smooth,
and free of nicks and burrs. This minimizes the air gap between the
magnet and the mounting surface. This mount has been designed
with low carbon steel in order to maximize the capacity; therefore,
use special care to protect the surface. Do not attach or weld other
materials to the magnet in order to reduce wear. This reduces the
magnets capacity.
Paper, dirt, rags, dust, paint, and scale act the same as air. Also, a
rough surface finish creates air gaps between the magnet and the
surface.
2 Surface Thickness
Thin material means less iron is available, reducing the magnets
capacity.
Thick steel surfaces are preferred.
3 Surface Area Alloy
Low carbon steels, such as SAE 1020 steel, are nearly as good
conductors of magnetic force as pure iron. However, many other
alloys contain non-magnetic material which reduces the ability of
magnetic force to flow into the surface area. Alloys such as SAE 300
series stainless steel are poor conductors.
4 Portion of the Magnetic Mounts Surface in Contact with Surface
Area
To achieve maximum magnetic force, the full surface of the mount
must contact the mounting surface.
35

Magnetic Mount Operation Instructions

1 The mounting surface and the bottom surface of the Magnetic Mount
must be clean, perfectly flat, and free of burrs. Check both surfaces. If
they are not flat, imperfections can be removed by lightly stoning
with a hand-held grinding stone.
2 The full area of the Magnetic Mount must be in contact with the
mounting surface for maximum holding stability.
3 The mounting surface should be at least 0.50" (12.7mm) thick. The
better the surface condition (flat and smooth), the higher the holding
force and stability. The ideal material is mild steel (low carbon steel,
SAE 1020). Other materials may result in lower holding force and
thinner material may also decrease holding and stability. For more
information, see Material Reduction Factors for common materials
on page 36.
4 Before mounting, make sure that the Magnetic Mount is in the OFF
position. Place it on a good base material.
5 Turn the handle to the ON position. This will take 1.25 turns to go
from fully OFF to fully ON.
CAUTION: This Magnetic Mount is a strong magnetic device. Make
sure that loose metal items are not near the mount when it is ON.
The reduction factors in the following table represent a percentage of
the total holding force of a magnet when used on SAE 1020 steel. For
example, 416 stainless steel has a reduction factor of .50 (50%). This
means that the total holding force for this material is half of SAE 1020
steel.

Appendix C: Industrial Products

Service Policy
A one-year maintenance/warranty comes with the purchase of new
FARO manufactured hardware products. Supplemental Service Plans
are also available at additional cost. See Appendix D: Industrial Service
Policy for further details.
FARO Hardware under Maintenance/

Warranty
The following is a summary of what services can be obtained under the
original warranty or Supplemental Service Plan.
1 Factory repairs on FARO-manufactured hardware products.
2 Factory repairs are targeted for completion within 7 (FaroArms) or 14
(FARO Laser Trackers and Laser Scanners) working days of FAROs
receipt of the defective item. The customer is responsible for
returning the hardware to FARO in the original packing container or
custom case.
3 FARO will return the hardware via 2-day air service to the
Continental U.S. Outside the Continental U.S., FARO will return the
hardware to the customs broker via 2-day air service. Expedited
service can be arranged at the customers expense.
4 Upon expiration of original warranty a Supplemental Service Plan
may be purchased and can be renewed annually on
FARO-manufactured hardware products.
5 All Supplemental Service Plans will be due for renewal at the end of
the month in which the Service Plan or warranty was purchased, plus
12 months.
6 The original warranty and Supplemental Service Plan are transferable
to subsequent owners under certain conditions:
The FaroArm and FARO Gage is currently under the original
warranty and Supplemental Service Plan.
New owner is, or becomes, a certified user.
A FARO Transfer of Original Warranty or Service Plan Agreement
form is completed and submitted to Customer Service.
C-1
FARO Hardware NOT under Maintenance/

Warranty
Factory assessments and repairs on FARO-manufactured products will
follow the following procedure:
1 The customer obtains a service number from FAROs Customer
Service Department.
2 The customer sends the part to FARO with the service number on the
label along with payment or a corporate purchase order for system
testing and evaluation, which includes calibration and recertification.
3 The payment will be applied toward the total service cost beyond the
initial payment. The estimated repair cost will be given to the
customer prior to the repair. The total cost must be paid prior to
beginning the service.
4 System testing and evaluation can take up to 30 days. FARO-
manufactured part repairs can take up to 60 days. However, the part
will be scheduled for service as soon as it arrives at FAROs factory.
5 The customer is responsible for all shipping charges to and from
FARO, including import and export fees for international customers.
FARO Software
All FARO Software users will receive maintenance releases until the
end of life for the version at no charge electronically or at a minimal fee
for the computer media package. All enhancement and functionality
upgrades will be available for purchase upon release.
Hardware & Software Training

FAROs training program is designed to instruct trainees in the
operation of FAROs hardware and software, which the customer has
purchased. The training classes are set up for each trainee to obtain
valuable hands on application exposure. This will help the trainees in
their everyday use of the hardware and software. FARO also feels that
once the trainee completes the training, finding solutions to problems or
applying applications will be simpler. Details are as follows:
C-2
1 The training class will prepare attendees to successfully attain an

operators certification (see Certification Requirements section for
more details).
2 The fee schedules for advanced additional training courses can be
obtained from Customer Service, or the Sales department.
Certification Requirements
The FaroArm and FARO Gage operators inherent ability to understand
3D concepts may be in their background training. However, the
precision with which the operator performs 3D measurements with the
FaroArm and FARO Gage is critical in establishing the accuracy and
repeatability of the results of subsequent measurements.
In order to establish the proficiency of FaroArm and FARO Gage
operators, FARO has instituted an Operator Certification program,
where each operators knowledge and understanding of the FaroArm
and FARO Gage is evaluated. The successful operator is awarded a
certificate which identifies him/her as an accredited FaroArm and
FARO Gage operator. The requirements are as follows:
1 Attend a FARO-conducted basic training course, either at a FARO
Facility or on site at your facility.
2 Certification will be awarded once the class has been completed, and
then the certified user will be registered for hardware and software
support.
To certify an operator, call FAROs Training Department, 800.736.0234
(North America), +1 407.333.9911 (Worldwide), for updated
information.

The Standard Service Plan covers the FaroArm and FARO Gage and
controller box.
Shipping costs, including insurance from the Purchaser to FARO are
the responsibility of the Purchaser. FARO will be responsible for all
return shipping costs including insurance.
All reasonable efforts will be made to keep the service repair time
within 7 (FaroArm) or 14 (FARO Laser Tracker and Laser Scanner)
working days. The equipment will be returned via 2-Day air service,
therefore, total service repair time will vary due to return shipping
location.
Since the FaroArm and FARO Gage is designed to be used with many
other software packages not authored by FARO, this service plan can
be purchased in its entirety to cover only FARO produced or authored
products. For items not produced or authored by FARO, the customer
is responsible for securing their own separate warranty or service plan
coverage.
