FARO Arm Drivers

Welcome to the VTube-LASER - FARO driver support page.

We include these FARO drivers on this page for the convenience of our VTube-LASER customers. Whether or not you are an Advanced Tubular VTube-LASER user, please feel free to download and use these drivers.

If you are not currently our customer and have support questions for the FARO arm driver software, then we recommend that you contact FARO directly to get support for installing and using the driver. See the FARO technical support page for details on how to get support from FARO.

​Also, we invite you to visit our 
VTube-LASER page to see how customers worldwide measure tube shapes with FARO arms.

FARO 6.10.55

Released August 8, 2023
​
Tested with: Not Tested

​Use with: FARO Edge and Quantum arms with FAROblu scanners, and Quantum arms with MAX scanners.





Download Driver for FARO Scan Arms with MAX scanners

Bug Fixes: Addressed bug in Quantum Max when LLP is active probe within the driver, but not connected to the Arm, resulting in performance lag.

FARO 6.10.53

Released April 26, 2023
​
Tested with: VTube-LASER v4.1

​Use with: FARO Edge and Quantum arms with FAROblu scanners, and Quantum arms with MAX scanners.






Download Driver for FARO Scan Arms with MAX scanners

The main reason for the reason of version 6.10.53 is to add support for a new low-cost LLP offering of FARO, the FAROBlu xE. The FAROBlu xE will look exactly like the FAROBlu xP (the FARO mid-range model) but with a throttled maximum scan rate, reduced maximum points per line and reduced accuracy.

Since the FAROBlu xE will not be sold in the US and Canada, this FARO driver update currently does not apply to US and Canadian customers.

Note: VTube-LASER version 3.1 or newer is required to handle the increased speed and throughput of this driver.
