Absolute Arm measuring arm from Hexagon redesigned

Hexagon’s Manufacturing Intelligence division has unveiled its new, redesigned Absolute Arm line of portable measuring arms.

The new modular wrist design allows both the RS5 laser scanner and the pistol grip (available in several sizes) to be completely removed to facilitate probing in tight spaces. The new wrist also features a display screen that allows for measurement result oversight, profile switching, and calibration at the point of measurement.

The new models are available in a 6-axis version designed for dedicated probing applications. Within this category is the new Absolute Arm Compact, with accuracy to within 6 microns.
