Application notes
Articles here focus on inspection planning, calibration evidence, uncertainty review and the practical choices behind dimensional measurement workflows.
A procurement manager's practical guide to FARO laser tracker accuracy, digital depth micrometers, multimeters, and thermal cameras. Four scenarios to help you choose the right measurement tool for your budget.
Continue ReadingPractical checklist for FARO products, mini multimeters, and thermal camera phones. Includes how to use a FLIR thermal camera correctly and why calibration matters.
Continue ReadingA purchasing administrator compares Faro portable CMM arms with traditional fixed CMMs across setup, accuracy, and total cost. Includes practical buying advice for related tools like water meters, multimeter test leads kits, and Flir thermal camera pricing.
Continue ReadingA practical 8-step checklist for buying and using FARO laser trackers, portable CMM arms, digital dial indicators, HPLC columns, and Keysight oscilloscopes—from a guy who learned the hard way.
Continue ReadingA quality inspector explains why comparing FARO CMM machine prices misses the point, and why calibration matters for every measuring tool—from a 5702 centrifuge to a 179 true rms digital multimeter.
Continue ReadingA first-person story about FARO laser trackers, CMM FARO arm measuring machines, a clamp meter 323, a hygrometer, and the Starrett vs Mitutoyo caliper debate—plus the checklist that prevents rework.
Continue ReadingA procurement perspective on choosing between FARO CMM arm measuring machines and the FARO Laser Tracker Vantage, plus when simpler tools like digital calipers make more sense.
Continue ReadingA quality manager's story about a rejected part, a digital caliper and a micrometer head that disagreed, and the FARO arm and laser tracker that revealed the real problem—plus why reading a Fluke multimeter is the same lesson.
Continue ReadingRenting a Faro laser tracker can be the right call for short projects, but the math is more nuanced than a simple price comparison. A quality inspection manager compares rental versus purchase across cost, calibration, flexibility, and total value, and explains when you still need a 177 True RMS multimeter, an LCR meter, or a FLIR thermal camera.
Continue ReadingA quality compliance manager shares how he specifies measurement equipment—FARO arms, laser trackers, bench digital multimeters, and thermal cameras—starting with the tolerance, not the brand name.
