FARO Target Ball – High-Precision SMR for 3D Scanning & Laser Tracking
Elevate your measurement accuracy with genuine FARO SMR (Spherically Mounted Retroreflector) target balls—the gold standard for 3D laser scanning, laser tracking, and industrial metrology. Designed for demanding environments, these break-resistant spheres deliver lab-grade precision with unmatched durability, making them ideal for aerospace, automotive, construction, and reverse engineering projects.
Key Features
- Unmatched Accuracy: High-performance model offers 80% higher precision than standard heavy-duty SMRs.
- Break-Resistant Design: Patented construction eliminates glass panel shifting/breaking; gold-coated single-element retroreflector ensures long-term stabilityFARO.
- Three Professional Models:
- Standard Accuracy (Black Ring): General-purpose scanning, ±0.000635mm sphericityFARO.
- Long Range (Green Ring): 55m maximum tracking distance for large-scale projects.
- High Performance (Blue Ring): Ultra-precision measurements, highest accuracy in break-resistant lineup.
- Perfect Compatibility: Works seamlessly with FARO Focus S150/S350/M70 scanners, ION laser trackers, and Traceable 3D systemsFARO.
- Calibrated & Traceable: 1mm proven system accuracy; factory-calibrated for reliable, repeatable resultsFARO.
- Durable Build: Solid stainless steel core (heavy-duty model); weatherproof for indoor/outdoor useFARO.
