About the FARO Focus Premium Max

The FARO Focus Premium Max is the long-range flagship of FARO's 2024 Focus family. It shares the Focus Premium's measurement engine — 2 mm 3D accuracy at 10 m (3.5 mm at 25 m), ±1 mm ranging error, up to 2 million points per second, 19-arcsecond angular accuracy — and extends the working range to 400 m on white (90 % reflectivity) surfaces, so large plants, yards and infrastructure need fewer scan positions.

Hybrid Reality Capture powered by Flash Technology is included with the Premium Max: paired with FARO's panoramic camera it delivers a colored scan in under 30 seconds per position, with FARO Stream registering scans on site as you go. The scanner is IP54-rated, weighs 4.4 kg with battery, runs about 4 hours per battery, and operates from +5 °C to +40 °C (extended −10 °C to +55 °C).

THE FUTURE 3D deploys the Focus Premium Max across our network of crews. Equipment allocation is project- and location-dependent and is confirmed at scheduling — availability varies by region, operator and calendar — and every engagement is backed by our 100% satisfaction guarantee.

Key Benefits

  • 400 m range on white surfaces — fewer scan positions across large plants, yards and infrastructure
  • 2 mm 3D accuracy at 10 m with ±1 mm ranging error — the same measurement engine as the Focus Premium
  • Flash Technology color scans in under 30 seconds per position (with the panoramic camera)
  • On-site registration in FARO Stream — registration problems are caught before the crew leaves site
  • IP54 and −10 °C to +55 °C extended operating range for outdoor and industrial conditions
  • Cryptographically hashed and signed scans for tamper-evident data integrity

Considerations

  • The 400 m figure is the 90 %-reflectivity (white) range — dark-grey surfaces reach 150 m and black surfaces 50 m
  • Flash Technology color scans require the optional panoramic camera mount

FARO Focus Premium Max Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between the FARO Focus Premium Max and the Focus Premium?

Range. FARO's 2024 family brochure lists one shared specification table for the Focus Premium Max, Focus Premium and Focus Core — the same 2 mm 3D accuracy at 10 m, ±1 mm ranging error, up to 2 million points per second, IP54 rating and 4.4 kg weight — and only the range row differs: 400 m for the Premium Max, 200 m for the Premium and 100 m for the Core (all on 90 %-reflectivity surfaces).

How accurate is the FARO Focus Premium Max?

FARO specifies 2 mm 3D accuracy at 10 m and 3.5 mm at 25 m, a ±1 mm ranging error and 19-arcsecond angular accuracy (brochure CMO9773, rev 11/2024). Range noise on white surfaces is 0.1 mm at 10 m and 0.2 mm at 25 m. As with any terrestrial scanner, project-level accuracy also depends on registration and control — we scope that with you before the survey.

What is Flash Technology on the Focus Premium Max?

Hybrid Reality Capture powered by Flash Technology is FARO's fast capture mode, included with the Focus Premium Max. With the panoramic camera mounted, a colored Flash scan completes in under 30 seconds per position (a grey-scale scan takes under a minute and a full HDR-colored scan under 1:15 without it), and FARO Stream registers scans on site as they are captured.

Can THE FUTURE 3D bring the Focus Premium Max to my city?

Often, but never as a blanket promise. Our fleet is distributed across our network of crews, so which scanner is allocated to a project depends on the project, the location and the calendar — it is confirmed at scheduling. If the Premium Max is not available where and when you need it, we scope an equivalent survey-grade scanner from the fleet and tell you exactly which unit will be used. Once a unit is confirmed in a signed engagement, we deliver with it.
