CASE STUDY:
Oil States Texas Mold is a leading manufacturer of steel and elastomeric bearings, flexible joints and sound isolation couplings. The company provides custom and volume production machining using large- and small-capacity, conventional and CNC equipment.

Since deploying their first FARO^® FaroArm^® back in 2000, Oil States Texas Mold has been using the FaroArm to access multiple measurement results from one set-up, easily obtain geometric associations, improve throughput and reduce backlogs.
