  • Page 39: Chapter 5: Accuracy

    Measurements are well distributed in all regions of the working volume. Compensation and Calibration The Gage is designed to endure the typical stress and impact loads of a “factory floor” measuring tool, as well as survive multiple transportation cycles while maintaining its accuracy throughout its usable life.

  • Page 40: Gage Calibration

    Gage has been changed. Gage Calibration The Gage software has commands that allow you to perform tests that certify the accuracy and repeatability of your Gage. The calibration commands allow you to test the Gage using a holes, a ball bar, or a step gauge.

    Verification Checklist” on page 44. Loss of a Degree of Freedom In a working volume of the Gage there can be a loss of a degree of freedom (natural rotation of transfer case). With this loss, temporary bending occurs on the transfer tubes of the Gage causing a movement of the probe position that cannot be recorded by the Arm’s encoder system.
  • Page 42 • directly above the Gage • in close to the base of the Gage The Gage should always feel fluid in its movement. If excessive force is needed to move to a measuring location, a degree of freedom has probably been lost. The following figures illustrate some of the possible positions of a Gage where a degree of freedom has been lost.

  • Page 43: Chapter 6: Maintenance And Troubleshooting

    Periodic calibration tests should be completed to certify the Gage accuracy and repeatability. See “Gage Calibration” on page 32. FARO recommends you return your Gage to a service center, once a year, for our annual calibration and a 15 point check up. Host Computer The computer is an electronic device containing many sensitive components.

  • Page 44: Mounting Stiffness Test

    Mounting Stiffness Test The Gage is portable and can be mounted in a variety of environments. The Gage is counterbalanced. Therefore, when stress is applied, there will be a restorative force countering the stress. This force will result in deformation in the mounting, which will degrade the performance of the Gage if the deformation is sufficiently large.

  • Page 45: Temperature Considerations

    To maintain certified accuracy in a multitude of environments, the monitoring of temperature and the rate of temperature change is required. The Gage employs a software/hardware solution (patents pending) where a semiconductor temperature sensor is built into each joint.

  • Page 46: Electrostatic Discharge (Esd)

    If you experience anything out of normal operation: 1 Turn off Gage. 2 Wait for at least five seconds before powering the unit on. 3 This should restore communication with the host computer.

    • Can both USB and Bluetooth wireless Gages be connected simultaneously? Yes. • Can a single Gage connect using both Bluetooth wireless and a USB cable at the same time? No. If both are properly connected, the Bluetooth wireless will be the only active connection for that Gage.

  • Page 52: Faro Gage Performance Verification Checklist

    • Why do I continue to see the message asking if I want to continue to use the FARO Wireless connection? Either the Gage has lost power, or it is out of the 30 feet or 10 meters wireless range. After correcting the problem, click Yes to restore the connection.

  • Page 55: Mounting

    Mounting Most accuracy and repeatability problems can be attributed to improper mounting of the Gage. These issues are not always obvious. An apparently stable mount can actually be moving more than the accuracy of the device, directly impacting results and causing system performance degradation.

    25% of the Gage's accuracy. 8 Apply approximately five (5) pounds of force to the cone. 9 Note the X, Y and Z deviations. They should not exceed 25% of the Gage's accuracy. Single Point Articulation Test (SPAT) Mounting should always be tested prior to a SPAT test. The SPAT test checks the repeatability of the Gage's X, Y and Z coordinates throughout its range of motion.
  • Page 57 If the sets are not repeatable, you must repeat the test. : The Gage movement should feel fluid. Be careful not to stress the Gage while taking these points or get too close to an end stop since stresses can be amplified near end stops.
