When your business consists of providing custom, precision tooling to nearly all of the tier 1 aerospace equipment manufacturers, quality is paramount. Read how one such manufacturer has deployed FARO^® Vantage Laser Trackers, ScanArms and the Super 6DoF TrackArm system to verify alignment and achieve close tolerances at each step of their manufacturing processes, including on-machine inspection.

RESULTS: Rework was reduced by 75% and inspection time is now 30% to 40% faster than using conventional tools and fixed CMMs.
