Extra protection with world's first IP54-rated measuring arm from Hexagon

Absolute Arm range update makes it the most robust measurement arm ever produced along with delivering real-time asset management capabilities

An IP54 protection rating is a market first for portable measuring arms and comes alongside a further environment-related improvement that sees the system’s maximum operating temperature increased to 45°C. Together with the Absolute Arm’s already excellent portability and versatility, these updates complete a package that is perfect for the demands of the hot and dusty environments into which metrology-grade inspection is increasingly being taken in locations all over the world.

On-site measurement with the Absolute Arm is further facilitated in these new models by the significant connectivity improvements Hexagon has delivered since the current generation was first launched. With the CP-W Wireless Pack – also IP54 rated – every Absolute Arm boasts full-speed performance all of the time, even when high-speed scanning over a wireless connection. This is yet another feature that makes the Absolute Arm the perfect portable measuring arm for non-traditional measurement applications that require taking metrology beyond the quality room.

Integration with Hexagon’s HxGN SFx | Asset Management solution takes another perspective on the need for reliability and portability in measurement technology, while also enhancing the ‘measure anywhere’ spirit of the new Absolute Arm range. Through this service – a one-year subscription is included free with every Absolute Arm – portable arms can be tracked and monitored remotely through a dedicated dashboard. Users can easily keep an overview of the location of every measuring arm in their fleet, ensure every single one is up to date and properly calibrated and certified, and even receive alerts in the case of shock events or status changes.

Also arriving with this update are improvements to the functionality of the Absolute Arm wrist display, now upgraded to a touchscreen, and the RDS software that drives it. These are changes intended to further enhance the ease of on-the-ground measurement processes by bringing more functionality to the point of measurement and reducing trips back and forth between the arm and its control computer, whether that be for checking collected data or adjusting measurement profiles.
