Compact absolute measuring Arm
The make is Hexagon. Compact Absolute Measuring Arm, manufactured by Hexagon, offers an exceptional measurement solution for contact measurement of small components. Designed for versatility, it can be placed on a shop-floor inspection table or directly inside a CNC machining center, elevating portability and ease of use to new heights.
The Compact is available in both Standard and PLUS accuracy versions, and it incorporates all the features of the flagship absolute arm. With absolute encoders built into the joints, the arm requires no warm-up time and is ready for use immediately upon power-up. Combined with WiFi wireless communication and battery power, the Compact delivers outstanding portability.
Equipped with an integrated base and an innovative balancing system, the Compact can be used straight out of its case—no base setup, no warm-up, no waiting.
