TBT to the 1980s when Hexagon Metrology Group, designed the ROMER arm

b2ap3_thumbnail_Romer-Arm.jpg

Throw back Thursday to the 1980s when Hexagon Metrology Group, designed the ROMER arm to solve the problem of how to measure large objects such as airplanes and car bodies without moving them to a dedicated measuring laboratory. A coordinate measuring machine precisely measures an object in a 3D coordinate system, often in comparison to a computer aided design (CAD) model. A portable coordinate measuring machine is usually a manual measuring device, which indicates that it requires a person to operate it.

The arm operates in 3D space with 6 or 7 joints, comprising 6 degrees of freedom (6DoF), which means that the arm can move in three-dimensional space forward/backward, up/down, left/right combined with rotation about three perpendicular axes (roll, yaw, pitch). The movement along each of the three axes is independent of each other and independent of the rotation about any of these axes, comprising the 6 degrees of freedom. The physical arrangement of the arm is much like a human arm, with a wrist, forearm, elbow, and so on.

ROMER arms are used for industrial measuring tasks where the part to be measured is too large or inconvenient to be moved. The measuring arm is brought to the part, which is possible because of the light weight of the system (less than 20 pounds).

Today, Give us your tired, your poor, your old portable CMM and we#ll give you the latest in cutting-edge technology!

Starting at $16,000*, for a limited time, trade in your old articulated arm for the new ROMER Absolute Arm.
