The ROMER Absolute Arm, from Hexagon Metrology, is said to be the first portable measuring arm with absolute encoders, allowing it to attain high levels of speed and productivity when taking 3D measurements.
The ROMER Absolute Arm is the most accurate ROMER CMM ever manufactured. The measuring arm utilises absolute encoders avoiding the need, as with all other measuring arms, to initialise the encoders, now the user can switch the machine on and simply start measuring.
The ROMER Absolute Arm is designed to be lightweight with a systematic, ergonomic design. Additional grip positions and a perfectly balanced main tube enable the operator to work productively, without fatigue during the inspection.
"With its WiFi capability and high-capacity rechargeable batteries, the ROMER Absolute Arm can operate wirelessly. Our customers can select from two levels of precision and seven arm-lengths between 1.5 and 4.5 m", explains Pirmin Bitzi, Hexagon Metrology product manager for portable measuring arms.
ROMER measuring arms perform 3D inspections of countless industrial parts, in particular in the metal and plastic machining industries. Thousands of companies, around the world, use ROMER products in product development, production, assembly and quality control.
