QUÉBEC, Canada, Apr 14, 2026 – FARO CREAFORM updated its Laser Line Probe (LLP) portfolio for the Quantum X FaroArm Series and Quantum Max FaroArm Series, adding image processing algorithms that improve scan consistency and reduce time to data when measuring reflective and high-contrast surfaces.
Laser Line Probes are used on dark, shiny, reflective, or high-contrast surfaces that require additional setup, multiple passes, or manual adjustment. The update modifies how LLP image data is processed, producing point clouds while reducing the need for repeated scans.
The update runs on DTEX, FARO CREAFORM’s LLP processing pipeline. Internal benchmarks report up to 60% reduction in time to data on representative parts, while maintaining measurement integrity. The changes also reduce the need to adjust acquisition parameters during scanning.
The release also extends support for the FARO 8‑Axis Max rotary worktable, a metrology-grade system designed to increase measurement coverage. When combined with the Quantum X FaroArm and LLPs, the worktable uses integrated encoders and synchronized arm data to support continuous coordinate measurement across larger or more complex parts.
The update applies across the LLP portfolio and affects system operation in standard measurement workflows:
- FAROBlu xR: Supports high-resolution scanning for detailed measurement of small features
- FAROBlu xS: Supports reduced scan time for measurement workflows in manufacturing environments
- FAROBlu xP: Supports balanced scan resolution and speed for generating high-density measurement data in inspection workflows
- Quantum X FaroArm series: The update modifies LLP scan accuracy across a range of part finishes for inspection, reverse engineering, and quality control. It is compatible with the FAROBlu LLP lineup, applying these changes across related measurement workflows.
- FARO 8‑Axis Max rotary worktable: When used with a Quantum X arm and FAROBlu LLP, the system reduces device repositioning and supports ergonomics. Measurement results remain traceable to an ISO 17025-accredited calibration process.
A step forward for LLP workflows
The release also applies to existing FaroArm and LLP systems and does not require new hardware. It modifies the image processing layer to improve handling of challenging surfaces while maintaining existing measurement workflows.
The update applies to FARO CREAFORM’s portable metrology systems used in production and quality control workflows that require traceable measurement data.
