Now more robust and easier-to-use, bringing precision to new places

The Absolute Arm 6-Axis, designed with ease-of-movement and usage as a focus, is a portable measuring arm like no other.

A full-sized articulated measuring arm focused on very high accuracy tactile measurements. One of three models available in the Absolute Arm range.

High accuracy probing and basic scanning
The latest Absolute Arm 6 Axis deliver market-leading accuracy that is the choice for touch probes, single point, very high accuracy measurements.

Built to perform even in harsh conditions
Engineered to operate flawlessly in even the most demanding industrial environments, withstanding vibrations from heavy machinery, water and dust particle ingress, temperature and humidity extremes.

Easier to use than ever
Incorporating interactive features that simplify set up and use, even for less experienced operators. Its ergonomic design and smart interfaces minimise set up times, optimise workflows, ensure reliability and increase productivity.

• Probing and Scanning
  High-accuracy touch probing performance while also compatible with the entry-level HP-L-8.9 Laser scanner. The Absolute Arm 6-Axis is a multifunctional measurement tool that delivers clear productivity improvements through increased accuracy, versatility, robustness and ease of use.
   
• Absolute Encoders
  Placed in every articulated joint of the Absolute Arm, making it the only portable measuring arm on the market to eliminate encoder referencing and frustrating system warm-up times, boosting productivity while delivering high-end accuracy, even in confined spaces.
   
• Complete Protection
  The world’s first portable measuring arm with an IP54 rating, and guaranteed functionality in temperatures of up to 45 degrees Celsius, the Absolute Arm is the perfect partner for measurement in even the most challenging environmental conditions.
   
• Advanced Frame Structure
  Built on a foundation of high-tech carbon-fibre tube construction, the Absolute Arm maintains strength and thermal stability under any environmental conditions, offering reliable accuracy whatever the environment.
   
• Precise, Effortless Movement 
  Counterbalanced "Zero G" arms help ensure accuracy and minimise user fatigue in operation, especially in crampled conditions.
   
• Security and Protection
  Stowing and locking in place, with HomeDock and SmartLock functions, ensures that the arm is secure between measures and when not in use, and helps to avoid misalignment.
   
• Real-Time User Feedback
  With haptic feedback functions, the user is alerted to any problems, without having to see the computer screen, in even the harshest industrial environments.
   
• Portability
  Even the largest Absolute Arm 6-Axis systems weigh only 10.5kg, making setup and repositioning a quick and easy process, while the functionally designed and shock-resistant carry case keeps everything secure during transport.
   
• ISO certification
  The probing accuracy of the Absolute Arm 6-Axis is certified according to ISO 10360-12 as standard, allowing users to maintain consistent certification.
   
• Connected
  Every Absolute Arm is compatible with major metrology data and asset management solutions.  Arms are wifi enabled and have battery hot swap capability so users can deliver results and monitor arm health and performance in real time, with confidence, from anywhere in the world.
   
• Technical Foundation and Support
  The Absolute Arm 6-Axis is part of the 8th generation of Portable Measuring Arms, whose legacy dates back to the mid 1970's.
