FARO Technologies Highlights the Gage Max FaroArm®

FARO® Technologies, Inc., the global leader in 3D measurement, imaging and realization solutions, highlights its Gage Max FaroArm®, the company's most accurate and affordable portable measurement arm. Designed for precision 3D inspection and rapid measurement of small parts, molds, and assemblies, the Gage Max FaroArm enables manufacturers to meet the highest quality and productivity demands with speed, confidence, and ease.

The Gage Max boasts a working volume of 1.5m (4.9ft), and unmatched accessibility for compact tasks. Featuring multi-probe capability, its kinematic quick-release probes with automatic recognition eliminate the need for recalibration, allowing users to switch between probe sizes and lengths effortlessly. Operators benefit from FARO's patented internal counterbalancing technology, enabling fatigue-free, single-handed operation and ergonomic control with a comfortable handle and intuitive two-button design.


Compliant with rigorous ISO 10360-12 accuracy standards, the Gage Max delivers confidence and consistency with every measurement, achieving maximum permissible volumetric errors as low as 0.022mm (0.0009 in) and sphere probing size errors down to 0.007mm (0.0003in). Equipped with temperature and overload sensors, the device actively maintains optimal performance and accuracy, even under challenging shop floor conditions. Its universal quick mount design allows flexible setup anywhere it's needed, including magnetic mounts, vacuum mounts, and tripods, while optional dual battery and wireless operation ensure ultimate portability and continuous use.

Seamlessly integrating with FARO CAM2® inspection software and compatible third-party solutions, the Gage Max empowers operators to perform dimensional verification and trend analysis across a broad spectrum of industrial applications. It expedites first-article and in-process inspection, swiftly identifies deviations from nominal CAD data, and reduces inspection bottlenecks to accelerate throughput and revenue generation. Machine shops and production lines can inspect parts directly on the machine, minimizing rework and scrap while maximizing yield and operational efficiency.

At its core, the Gage Max is designed for both the precision of laboratory instruments and the ruggedness required on the shop floor. The result is a portable CMM that sets up in seconds, streamlines workflows, and consistently delivers reliable, report-ready measurement data. With its intuitive design and exceptional warranty coverage, the Gage Max represents FARO's most affordable and most accurate FaroArm, delivering a compelling return on investment for manufacturers seeking to elevate their quality assurance and operational excellence.

T.J. Davies' Retention Knobs

T.J. Davies' Retention Knobs

Our retention knobs are manufactured above international standards or to machine builder specifications. Retention knobs are manufactured utilizing AMS-6274/AISI-8620 alloy steel drawn in the United States. Threads are single-pointed on our lathes while manufacturing all other retention knob features to ensure high concentricity. Our process ensures that our threads are balanced (lead in/lead out at 180 degrees.) Each retention knob is carburized (hardened) to 58-62HRC, and case depth is .020-.030. Core hardness 40HRC. Each retention knob is coated utilizing a hot black oxide coating to military specifications. Our retention knobs are 100% covered in black oxide to prevent rust. All retention knob surfaces (not just mating surfaces) have a precision finish of 32 RMA micro or better: ISO grade 6N. Each retention knob is magnetic particle tested and tested at 2.5 times the pulling force of the drawbar. Certifications are maintained for each step in the manufacturing process for traceability.
