A f te rm a rke t D a i l y N e ws 2 3 Tu e s d a y, N o ve m b e r 4 , 2 0 1 4 FARO SCANS MARKET AND COMES OUT ON TOP WITH NEW EDGE SCANARM HD PORTABLE MEASUREMENT SYSTEM FARO Technologies Inc. has long held a leading position in the portable 3D meas- urement systems industry, and now the company has created an entirely new level of sophistication and performance detail with the FARO Edge ScanArm HD. Already accustomed to the confi- dence provided by previous FARO sys- tems, users of the new device tandem can approach scan tasks knowing that every variable is accounted for with cutting edge, proven technology, provided at an affordable price. No matter the surface material, and regardless of contrast, reflectivity or part complexity; whether contact or non-con- tact, the FARO Edge ScanArm HD pro- vides enhanced resolution with High Definition data, rapid scanning speed with a wider scan stripe and faster frame speed, and offers a FARO Laser Line Probe attachment equipped with noise reduction technology to give virtually perfect accuracy. The FARO Edge ScanArm HD is the ideal tool for product development, inspection and quality control and offers capabilities such as point cloud compari- son with CAD, rapid prototyping, reverse engineering and 3D modeling. While teaming with the ScanArm HD to provide versatility and the ultimate in scan efficiency, the FARO Edge pro- vides true stand-alone measurement capability that is free of reliance on addi- tional, and remote components (like a laptop!). With its built-in touchscreen and on-board operating system, the Edge provides users the freedom to scan when- ever and wherever the next task demands. All that remains is to choose the appropriate one of the ScanArm HD's interchangeable probes, depending on the surface or material being measured. By the numbers, and when used with the FARO Laser Line Probe attachment, the Edge ScanArm HD provides a frame rate approximately four times that of its widely popular pred- ecessor, and grabs almost twice as many points per line. In addition to other advance- ments, FARO's use of a blue laser, rather than red, means a shorter wavelength and higher definition data scans. Combining the system's increased frame speed, enhanced scan line and greater maximum scanning width, users can acquire an unheard of 560,000 points per second. "The Laser Line Probe HD was developed to set a new standard in 3D laser scanning technology. We are strong- ly focused on the application needs of our customers, and we are confident that we will exceed their expectations," stated Kathleen J. Hall, Senior Vice President and Managing Director, Americas at FARO. "The Edge ScanArm HD delivers high-definition data with superior speed and surface coverage at an affordable price, enabling our customers to reduce on-site measurement times, to scan very challenging materials, and to meaning- fully improve their products and processes." While the system offers highly complex, unprecedented perform- ance, new users need not be intim- idated. The ScanArm HD's new crosshair feature, coupled with the existing LED Rangefinder func- tionality and the feedback it pro- vides, have allowed FARO to dra- matically reduce the system's required training time. The arm's com- pact size and friendly user interface make it a versatile and intuitive tool. In combination with the all-in-one metrology software CAM2 Measure 10, FARO provides its customers with a unique solution for both contact and non- contact measurement and is perfectly suited for metrology challenges in a wide range of applications. With its superior technology, reliable products and affordable pricing, FARO serves approximately 15,000 customers world-wide, and has more than 30,000 installations in operation.

SIDE BY SIDE GEAR LIFT FROM SXS GEAR LLC Every now and then a monumental change revolutionizes an industry and makes you wonder, "How did we do it before?" The automobile got power steering, the cellphone got smart, and the loaf of bread got sliced. This is what SXS Gear LLC has done for the Side by Side industry. Do you want power "On-Tap" for quicker acceleration? Do you want rock crawling torque just off idle? Maybe it's increased ground clearance you're after? You can have it all! Anytime you decide to lift an off- road vehicle, there's more work to be done than just bolting on a lift kit and hit- ting the trails. SXS Gear LLC has devel- oped a gear reduction system that utilizes a portal box at each wheel. This portal box not only provides a 30 percent gear reduction, it does so without affecting any of the factory ride quality. The gear lift, provided by SXS Gear LLC, is able to offer these great benefits without the added stress on belts, clutches, axles, cv cages or transmissions. In addition to these fantastic advantages, it also pro- vides you with a true four inches of lift! That's more ground clearance for your off-roading adventures. Gear reduction slows me down, right? Wrong. After extensive Dyno test- systems. With a couple of hours and a basic socket set, you too could be experiencing the added benefits of the gear lift by SXS Gear LLC. Please visit www.sxsgear.com for more information. Check out its cus- tomer rides page for pictures of happy customers getting their side by sides as muddy as possible, and loving every minute of it! SXS Gear LLC continues to develop new products and expand its por- tal box inventory to include more makes and models. SXS Gear LLC provides its customers with what they want, and do it with customer service that the industry needs. For more information, go to www .sxsgear.com. ing, it has shown that its por- tal system creates huge changes in power delivery. When compared to the stock time of 4.5 seconds, its sys- tem reduces the zero to peak horsepower time to an astounding 1.5 seconds. This immediate delivery of power not only gets you up and over that log, or through the deepest of mud holes, it does so with- out the unwanted wheel spin or high engine revolutions. Quite simply, you are able to negotiate obstacles easier and with far less effort than ever before; get the clearance you want without sacrific- ing the performance you need. The patent pending, gear reduction portal system changes the torque delivery to each wheel of your side by side and works in conjunction with factory traction control
