FaroArm Test Methods - (Test methods are a subset of those given in the B89.4.22 standard.)

¹ Single Point Articulation Performance Test (Max-Min)/2 (SPAT):The probe of the FaroArm is placed within a conical socket, and individual points are measured from multiple approach directions. Each individual point measurement is analyzed as a range of deviations in X, Y, Z. This test is a method for determining articulating measurement machine repeatability.

² Volumetric Maximum DeviationDetermined by using traceable length artifacts, which are measured at various locations and orientations throughout the working volume of the FaroArm. This test is a method for determining articulating measurement machine accuracy.
