Guided service model

Calibration and support plans that read like operating manuals.

Faro service begins with the question that usually appears too late: what evidence will your auditor, customer or production engineer ask for after the instrument is installed? The answer shapes calibration interval, acceptance testing, rental backup, operator training and spare-part availability before a purchase order is issued.

Service cards

Two paths, one traceability record

Service planning is split into fast field support and controlled-laboratory verification so buyers can balance uptime with defensible measurement uncertainty.

01

Field continuity program

For production cells, Faro reviews fixture access, environmental exposure and operator skill level. The plan can include on-site verification, rental coverage during repair and response targets tied to line-critical equipment rather than a generic service queue.

  • Laser tracker and portable CMM readiness checks
  • Backup instrument planning for takt-sensitive work
  • Operator refreshers tied to common inspection drift
02

Accredited evidence program

For audits, Faro prepares calibration records with environmental notes, reference standards and scope language that quality teams can attach directly to supplier packages. Claims are kept measurable, including ISO 10360 acceptance references and uncertainty statements where available.

  • ISO/IEC 17025 scope confirmation before shipment
  • NIST-traceable documentation for key artifacts
  • Requalification schedules aligned to audit cadence

Common service questions

Faro links the instrument record to the relevant calibration scope, reference standards and documented environmental conditions. When a buyer needs ISO/IEC 17025 evidence, the scope is reviewed before the service path is quoted.

Yes. Faro can review the measurement task and identify rental or backup instruments before a service event, which helps high-throughput cells avoid a rushed re-specification cycle during downtime.

Share instrument model, serial status, target tolerance, measured material, environment and the audit or customer requirement. That information helps the team separate shop-floor verification from accredited calibration needs.

Before and after

Replace reactive service with evidence-led planning

Before

The team waits until a tracker, arm or vision system fails verification, then searches for a repair slot, proof of traceability and a temporary replacement while production managers ask when inspection can restart.

After

The team has a scheduled interval, a known calibration route, an instrument backup option and certificate language that quality managers already understand before the next customer audit arrives.

Service request

Map your instrument fleet to a support plan.

Send the serial group, measurement tasks and the audit standard your team must satisfy. Faro will help separate immediate service needs from lifecycle decisions that can be scheduled with less pressure.
