The global standard in non-contact measurement arm technology, which combine the measurement capabilities of a Quantum Max FaroArm® portable coordinate measuring machine (CMM) with the non-contact functionality of a laser line probe.
The Quantum Max also offers three LLPs that optimize accuracy, speed or a blend of both, depending on project need. Whichever LLP you choose, 3D ScanArms capture precise measurements in nearly any environment, from the factory floor to the field.
Sometimes a part or tool is so complex, you can’t use contact probes to capture all of its measurements.
But lasers do the job with exceptional speed and accuracy. In these cases, leading manufacturers rely on FARO Quantum Max ScanArms, which combine the measurement capabilities of a Quantum Max FaroArm® portable coordinate measuring machine (CMM) with the non-contact functionality of a laser line probe.
The Quantum Max also offers three LLPs that optimize accuracy, speed or a blend of both, depending on project need. Whichever LLP you choose, 3D ScanArms capture precise measurements in nearly any environment, from the factory floor to the field.

ScanArms By Performance Level
QUANTUM MAX SCANARMS – Maximum Performance
QuantumS is the flagship measurement arm, delivering premium accuracy and performance. QuantumM provides the global standard in portable metrology and boasts an ideal price/performance ratio, well suited for factory inspection tasks. QuantumE offers excellent performance at a competitive price and ensures high-quality production.
FAROBLU XR – Maximum Resolution & Accuracy
This Laser Line Probe (LLP) is ideal for high-precision tasks with tight tolerances to capture data at highest accuracy and best resolution possible. Users can scan small intricate parts and fine details with 1.5 times the accuracy, improving production quality with better and more reliable data.
FAROBLU XP – Maximum Productivity
This Laser Line Probe (LLP) offers the ability to scan anything with a balanced blend of accuracy, speed and coverage—increasing profitability and throughput with performance suitable for any application.
FAROBLU XS – Maximum Speed
This Laser Line Probe (LLP) is best for large parts or expansive surface areas when data collection speed is top priority. The extra‑wide laser stripe delivers double the coverage in a single pass, allowing users to collect data up to 2.6x faster than the xR and 1.6X faster than the xP. Fewer passes to collect data means faster results and higher productivity.
8-Axis Scanning Platform – Faster Scanning with Any Quantum V2 ScanArm
An industry first, the integrated 8-axis rotary scanning platform decreases scan time by up to 40%, while maintaining accuracy. The platform is available with all ScanArm models; select the 8-Axis QuantumS ScanArm, 8-Axis QuantumM ScanArm or the 8-Axis QuantumE ScanArm.
