Hexagon reveals Romer Absolute Arm Compact portable CMM

According to Hexagon, the Romer Absolute Arm Compact portable CMM provides high tolerance 3D measurement in a 1.2 m volume for use even in confined spaces. A counterweight system enables use without mountings, while absolute encoders mean no referencing is required so it can be placed on any surface and switched on ready to measure.

A replacement for the Romer MultiGage, the Romer Absolute Arm Compact is available in two models and can be certified to ISO 10360-2 or B89.4.22. Usability features include automatic probe recognition to ensure repeatable results for different probes without calibration, and haptic feedback to alert users if an axis limit is reached, eliminating the risk of bad measurements. The Romer Absolute Arm Compact is also compatible with all major metrology software packages.
