HEXAGON Absolute Arm COMPACT

The World’s Most Accurate Portable Measuring Arm, now with IP54 protection

The small-size COMPACT Absolute Arm is designed for high-accuracy tactile measurement of small to medium sized parts. Because of its excellent accuracy performance, the COMPACT arm can measure parts which could previously only be measured with stationary CMMs. Its small size make it ideal for measuring in confined spaces, for example under a machining centre.

Balance	The unique Zero-G Counter Balance system and lowfriction rotating grips reduce user fatigue and maximise accuracy by minimising inertia.
Control	Multi-functional control buttons
Measurement	A wide range of probes and high-speed 3D scanners combined with a choice of 7 sizes and 3 accuracy levels delivers endlessly flexible measurement functionality.
Feedback	Easy user interaction in even the harshest industrial environments through visual, acoustic and haptic feedback functions, augmented with Bluetooth technology.
Absolute Encoders	Patented Absolute Encoders within every articulated joint are exclusive to Hexagon and make the Absolute Arm the only portable measuring arm that has completely eliminated warm-up times and encoder referencing before use.
Materials:	High-tech carbon-fibre tube construction ensures strength and thermal stability under any environmental conditions
Protection:	High-quality construction and sealing have allowed the Absolute Arm to be the world’s first IP54-rated portable arm, as well as allowing for operation in environmental temperatures of up to 45 degrees Celcius
Portability	True wireless connectivity and hot-swappable batteries give greater flexibility when moving the arm around the shop floor, along with full-speed WiFi scanning performance

 No initialization! No heating up time!
