Hexagon Metrology’s Romer Absolute Arm now up to two-thirds faster

The integrated laser scanner in the Romer Absolute Arm portable CMM now provides an acquisition speed of up to 50,000 points per second. This enables users to move the scanner over the measurement object faster than before while achieving the same high data quality as on earlier models, even on difficult to scan surfaces like high gloss carbon fibre.

Along with this development, Hexagon Metrology is also launching a wireless scanning option for the integrated laser scanner Romer Absolute Arm. This allows the unit to be operated completely wirelessly, and at the same data transmission speed as with a traditional cable. Furthermore, for unlimited wireless operation in the field, the wireless scanning pack also includes a dual 'hot swappable' battery system where one battery can be charged continuously, while the other is in use. The Wireless Scanning Pack is offered as an accessory and is compatible with all new and existing Romer Absolute Arms with integrated laser scanner. Installation can be completed by the user in just a few minutes. The laser scanner is completely integrated into the tactile and non-contact Romer Absolute Arm 3D measurement CMM, which allows the measuring arm to be certified as a complete system according to international standards such as B89 or VDI/VDE.
