Portable Measuring Arm

Hexagon Metrology has introduced the next generation of the ROMER® Absolute Arm, featuring optimized ergonomics, a new wrist design, and greater stability to further reduce operator fatigue.
The portable CMM provides tactile and noncontact dimensional measurements in the aerospace, automotive, military, forming, tube bending, and casting industries for applications requiring inspection, on-machine measurement, fixture and jig setups, and reverse engineering.
The 6-axis measuring arm introduces a new wrist designed around the complex contours of the human hand. The new wrist on the 7-axis arm has a more natural feel with rotation centered around the system’s probe. Both systems feature a lockable, zero-G counterbalance, which improves arm movement, protects it from hard falls, and enables single-handed operation.
The 6-axis wrist also includes a built-in work light and digital camera. Haptic feedback vibrates the wrist and warns the user of possible harmful conditions, making it suitable for noisy shop floor environments. The arm also features a redesigned tube inspection configuration for quick inspections and reverse engineering of bend paths.
The 7-axis arm is designed to accept an integrated or external laser scanner at any time. It may also be purchased without the scanner and used as a hard probing system. Neither arms require calibration after a probe or scanner change.
