Rotary Table Dimensions, Set Up and Driver for the Cobalt
Overview
In the following article you can find information on the Setup, Connection and Dimensions of the Rotary Table for the FARO® Cobalt.
Setup and Connection (Single Cobalt)
The rotary table speeds up work and makes scanning easier. This video describes how to set up a rotary table for CAM2 and Polyworks users of the FARO Cobalt.
Setup and Connection (Array Configuration)
Currently, the Cobalt 3D Imager interface does not support the rotary table when using multiple in an array configuration.
BuildIT offers an automated process that supports the use of using an array in combination with the rotary table. If using this setup, the table needs to be connected to the computer through a USB connection, and the drivers for the table need to be installed separately.
If using a Rotary Table with an Array Configuration, use the following procedure:
- Download the driver below.
Download - Run “Arcus Drivers and Tools Setup 1.43.exe”.
- Once the driver is installed, navigate to Run on your PC.
- Input the following:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Arcus Technology\Drivers, Libraries, Source\PerformaxUSB v4.01\PerformaxUSBInstaller_x64.exe - Click OK.
Note: This procedure is only required if you are using a rotary table with an array, as the array doesn’t support rotary table automatically.
If using a Rotary Table with a single Cobalt, it is recommended:
- Plug the rotary table into the single Cobalt and use the Cobalt user interface to control the table instead.
- You do not require the driver.
Table Dimensions and Fastener Information
The FARO® Rotary table incorporates a threaded bolt hole pattern to support a wide range of workholding options and configurations. For larger items, FARO also offers two extended table plates (10" and 18" in diameter). These plates attach directly to the top of the Rotary Table unit, and include four 10-32 x .500" flat-head socket cap screws for installation. A 1/8" hex key is also provided. Contact your regional FARO account representative for ordering information.
Dimensional drawings of the Rotary Table and optional Table Plates are provided below.
