TracerM provides a solution for accurate assembling
FARO has recently launched the TracerM which accurately projects a 0.5mm wide laser line onto a 2D/3D surface or object to provide a virtual template that enables operators and assemblers to quickly and accurately position components with absolute confidence.
It has always been a challenge when assembling large cumbersome components. In many cases its key that there is a high level of precision when assembling large components. For example, an inaccuracy of just 1mm when assembling two prefabricated elements such as an aircraft’s fuselages could result in massive deviations.
The TracerM provides a precise solution for operators and assemblers in ensuring that there is an improvement in productivity and accuracy.

FARO Help Facilitate Virtual Lighthouse
FARO has recently had the opportunity to provide their FARO Freestyle and FARO Focus Laser Scanner in helping to ensure the Trinity Buoy Wharf Lighthouse in London can be cherished for more coming years.
FARO 3D X130 tripod mounted laser scanner was used by SIAD to gather data of the entire exterior and interior of the lighthouse. They then further used the FARO Freestyle to ensure they captured all sides of an object. Together the Freestyle and Focus have been able to contribute to heritage preservation.
“We were delighted to apply our expertise and the use of a FARO 3D X130 tripod- mounted laser and a FARO Freestyle, to the Trinity Buoy Wharf Lighthouse project.”
