Portable Measuring Arms

Portable measuring arms are ideal for taking 3D measurements in the field,  highly transportable and accurate.

Choose 6 or 7-axis, laser scanner options, and long arms – up to 9 m from our range

Why Choose Met Optix for your next Portable Measuring Arm?

Portable measuring arms or CMMs are 3D digitizing devices that allow the measurement of parts, components and assemblies on the job, in remote locations or in the QA lab. They are fast, accurate and repeatable and when coupled with metrology software can produce full metrology reports just like a fixed CMM.

With absolute encoders on most portable arms these days, there is no need to initialize encoders on each of the joints on the arm before starting the measurement process.

 

3D measuring arms have become a must-have measurement tool in industries such as mining, aerospace, manufacturing and also general industry.

We currently offer the most extensive range of portable arm CMMs in Australasia, with products from three manufacturers – Hexagon Metrology, Kreon Technologies and RPS Metrology. With these three manufacturers, we can offer both 6 and 7-axis arms from 1.2 m to a huge 9.0 m in measuring volume, all with laser scanning capabilities.

Why Portable Arm CMMs?

Portable arm CMMs measure features in 3D space and are generally the next step up from using height gauges which are 2D measuring devices at best. They are accurate and repeatable and very convenient to use.

What else do we need when buying a Portable Arm

Now that you have decided on a portable arm CMM, what else do you need to complete the package? 

Software

We recommend and support software packages from Verisurf software for portable arms. It’s easy to learn and use and the backup and support services from Verisurf in the USA are first-rate.

Mounting systems

From simple magnetic bases to folding portable tripods to rolling stands for ultimate stability and accuracy, we can supply a full range from Metrology Base and Metrology Works.

Extra probes

Most portable arms are supplied with 3 and 6-mm probes as standards. Extra probes with larger and smaller diameter tips and varying lengths are available for our portable arm range to add flexibility and convenience to a range of measuring tasks.

Laptop computers

Use a laptop computer with the latest generation processor, 16GB RAM or more and a separate 4GB minimum graphics card.

Training

Software training is critical with portable arm CMMs in order to maximize the return on investment. We offer full training for the portable arms that we sell including enrollment to Verisurf University where a 3-month on-line self-paced learning course is available.
