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

The flagship Absolute Arm 7-Axis delivers tactile probing and non-contact scanning in a uniquely ergonomic package.

High-accuracy touch probing alongside fast and accurate 3D laser scanning. One of three models available in the Absolute Arm range.

Accurate, robust and easy to use
The latest Absolute Arm 7 Axis delivers market-leading accuracy, on average 8% improved over previous versions, for scanning and probing in the widest-ever range of production and product development processes.

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

Easier to set up and use than ever
Even for less experienced operators. Ergonomic designs, connected technologies and smart interfaces minimise set up times, ensure measurement reliability and increase productivity.

• Probing and Scanning
  High-accuracy touch probing performance together with high-end, high-productivity scanning from the Absolute Scanner AS1 or AS1-XL – the Absolute Arm 7-Axis is a multifunctional measurement tool that delivers clear productivity improvements through increased usability and versatility.
   
• 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.
   
• 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.
   
• Complete Protection
  The world’s first portable measuring arm with an IP54 rating, and guaranteed functionality in temperatures of up to 45°C, the Absolute Arm is the perfect partner for measurement in even the most challenging environmental conditions.
   
• Touchscreen Wrist Display
  Featuring an OLED display screen at the wrist to view and control measurements without having to look at the computer screen.
   
• Effortless movement
  Intuitively located infinite-rotation low-friction grips have been designed to maximise accuracy by minimising user fatigue and making every movement light and easy to handle – together with a sophisticated counterbalance system, the Absolute Arm is the most agile arm on the market.
   
• Essential security
  Stow and lock in place the Absolute Arm between measurements with the HomeDock and SmartLock functions, ensuring that scanners and probes remain undamaged and factory-accurate.
   
• User feedback
  In even the harshest industrial environments, communicating with the Absolute Arm in a way that keeps the measurement process running at full speed and efficiency has never been more simple, through our range of visual, acoustic and haptic feedback functions.
   
• Absolute portability
  Even the largest Absolute Arm 7-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 7-Axis is certified according to ISO 10360-12 as standard, with full scanning system accuracy certified according to ISO 10360-8 Annex D when supplied with an Absolute Scanner AS1, AS1-XL or RS5 Laser Scanner.
   
• Technological foundation
  Built upon years of portable measuring arm technology, the Absolute Arm 7-Axis is the latest in a long line of market leading articulated measuring arms, from the ROMER Arm to the ROMER Absolute Arm and now beyond.
