Hexagon Metrology has introduced a new generation of ROMER portable 3D measuring arms. The ROMER Absolute Arm has absolute encoders, which the company says will simplify the inspection process. This technology avoids the need to initialize the encoders—now the user can simply switch the machine on and start measuring.

“With its WiFi capability and high-capacity rechargeable batteries, the ROMER Absolute Arm can operate wirelessly,” says Pirmin Bitzi, Hexagon Metrology product manager for portable measuring arms. “Our customers can select from two levels of precision and seven arm-lengths between 1.5 and 4.5 meters.”

The ROMER Absolute Arm is immediately available. Hexagon Metrology will be presenting the ROMER Absolute Arm for the first time at the CONTROL trade fair in Stuttgart, Germany from May 4-7.
