FARO公司创建于1982年，时年公司的二位创始人Simon Raab和Greg Fraser在加拿大蒙特利尔的麦吉尔大学完成了他们的博士学位，二人相遇后决定共同创办FARO公司。经过两年的努力，公司陆续于1984、1986和1988年推出了三款运用弯臂式测量技术的医用/外科产品。公司于1990年从蒙特利尔迁址至美国佛州的Lake Mary，此后公司应邀为制造厂开发便携式质控工具，将原有技术进一步提高。 

1994年FARO完成了由医疗市场到更大的世界工业加工市场的定位转型。在优秀的销售业绩和利润以及巨大的市场潜力的基础之上，FARO于1997年登陆纳斯达克市场，股票名称为FARO。公司于1998、2002和2005年收购了三家企业，拓展了销售网络和产品范围，并正式进军激光探测技术领域。

 

FARO技术有限公司（纳斯达克：FARO）在全球范围内成功完成16,000余个项目，拥有客户7400余家。公司及其分支机构主要从事软件和便携式计算机测量设备的设计、研发和销售。我们的产品能帮助制造厂对其零部件进行立体监测，彻底清除了制造环节产生的错误，从而提高了生产效率和利润率。

 

公司的主打产品包括：测量臂类有量子FaroArm、Fusion FaroArm、FaroArm白金版、FARO激光扫描臂、FARO Gage、Gage-PLUS、PowerGAGE、数码模板；激光追踪器类有FARO激光追踪器X和Xi；激光扫描仪类有FARO激光扫描仪LS；以及CAM2系列CAD测量和报告软件.

 

FARO was founded in 1982 by Simon Raab and Greg Fraser who met while completing their PhD work at Mc Gill University in Montreal, Canada. After two years of development FARO launched three medical/surgical products based on its articulated arm measurement technology in 1984, 1986 and 1988 respectively. The company moved from Montreal to Lake Mary, Florida in 1990 and shortly after that the Company was asked to develop a larger, more robust version of its technology for use as a portable quality control tool for manufacturers.    

 

By 1994 FARO had completely transitioned from the medical markets to the much larger worldwide industrial manufacturing market. On the basis of strong sales and profit growth and the large underserved market, FARO went public in 1997 and its shares began trading on the NASDAQ exchange under the symbol FARO. Faro acquired three companies in 1998, 2002 and 2005 to broaden its worldwide distribution and to expand its product lines into laser based inspection technology.  

 

With more than 16,000 installations and 7400 customers globally, FARO Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: FARO) and its international subsidiaries design, develop, and market software and portable, computerised measurement devices. The company‘s products allow manufacturers to perform 3D inspections of parts and assemblies on the shop floor. This helps eliminate manufacturing errors, and thereby increases productivity and profitability for a variety of industries in FARO‘s worldwide customer base. 

 

Principal products include the measuring arms Quantum FaroArm, Fusion FaroArm, FaroArm Platinum, FARO Laser ScanArm; FARO Gage, Gage-PLUS and PowerGAGE; Digital Template; the Laser Trackers FARO Laser Tracker X and Xi; the Laser Scanners FARO Laser Scanner LS; and the CAM2 family of advanced CAD-based measurement and reporting software.
