EQUIPMENT DETAILS

The Hexagon Absolute Arm V3P 8525 6-Axis is a high-precision portable coordinate measuring machine (CMM) from the advanced 85 Series, designed for accurate tactile inspection and dimensional control in industrial environments.

This configuration (Model 8525) provides a 2.5 m measuring range (2.73 m max reach), offering an optimal balance between extended reach and high measurement accuracy. It is ideal for inspecting medium-sized components, assemblies, tooling, and precision parts across industries such as automotive, aerospace, and manufacturing.

The 6-axis version is optimized for tactile probing applications, delivering reliable and repeatable point measurements for inspection, alignment, and quality assurance workflows. Equipped with patented Absolute Encoder technology, the system requires no warm-up or referencing, allowing immediate operation and improved productivity.

Built from high-performance carbon-fiber materials, the arm ensures excellent rigidity and thermal stability even under variable environmental conditions. The Zero-G counterbalance system reduces operator fatigue and enhances measurement control during extended use.

The Absolute Arm integrates seamlessly with industry-leading metrology software such as PolyWorks, SpatialAnalyzer, and PC-DMIS, enabling efficient data capture and advanced inspection workflows.
