The FARO Quantum X FaroArm Series is a metrology-grade portable coordinate measuring machine (CMM) for contact probing and non-contact laser scanning. Configurable across five arm lengths and three performance levels, with optional FAROBlu laser line probes and the FARO 8-Axis Max rotary table to cut measurement time by up to 40%.
Quantum X delivers up to 15% better accuracy than earlier-generation arms - helping manufacturers reduce scrap, rework, and inspection bottlenecks while increasing throughput. Integrates with FARO CAM2 or third-party inspection software.
As the NZ distributor, we help you choose the right arm length, performance tier, probes, and software - then arrange demo, quote, and local support. Hardware is enquiry-led: talk to us for configuration and pricing.
Probe and scan in one device
Inspect parts with tight tolerances using contact probing, or capture dense point clouds with FAROBlu laser line probes - without swapping machines. Kinematic mounts let you change probes quickly without recompensation.
FARO 8-Axis Max rotary table
The FARO 8-Axis Max rotary worktable integrates with every Quantum X model. Rotate the part instead of repositioning the arm - cutting measurement time by up to 40% while extending reach and reducing operator fatigue.
Applications across the shop floor
- Quality control and first-article inspection - verify dimensions against CAD and catch deviations early.
- Fabrication and assembly - keep tooling calibrated and production machinery aligned.
- Reverse engineering and rapid prototyping - accelerate design iterations with accurate as-built data.
Built for the factory floor
Portable setup, ergonomic single-hand operation, hot-swappable batteries, and wireless connectivity mean the arm goes where the work is - from the metrology lab to the production line. ISO 10360 performance standards, temperature and overload sensors, and rugged construction keep results consistent in demanding environments.
Quantum X performance levels
