Complementary agreement

After a period of extensive product development, the latest version of Aberlink's user friendly measurement software, Aberlink 3D, can now be employed with portable measuring arms. Faro has always supported an open architecture philosophy and following successful test at customer sites in both the UK and Germany, decided to make Aberlink 3D software available as an option for the Faro Gage for its European customers.

Aberlink's measurement software package was designed around an intuitive user interface that creates an interactive 3D image of the component as it is measured. In essence the software package represents an intelligent measuring system that is able to automatically recognise and define the various features being measured.

Software features developed specifically for Faro measuring arms ensure the on screen image is always correctly orientated to match the measured part. Other innovations allow the arm to be used to control mouse functionality and the arm buttons to retake points and accept features. High speed scanning enables a standard fixed probe to be used to collect a high density of touch points using time and distance based point spacing

Faro's David Homewood, area vice-president sales, UK, France and Benelux, said: "The software solution from Aberlink offers an excellent fit for our Faro Gage. The software offers simple functionality and visual representation of the parts being measured and, combined with a professional reporting package the Aberlink software adds new capability.”
