About FARO Digitizers

 

FARO digitizers are rugged, articulated portable measurement arms. The complete FARO product line features several models ranging in size, accuracy, and freedom-of-movement configurations. FARO arms support probe exchange.

RevWorks communicates with FARO digitizers using a USB or serial device interface. There are substantial differences between FARO arms that support USB communications and those that use serial communications.
