EQUIPMENT DETAILS

The Hexagon Absolute Arm V3P 8340 6-Axis is a high-precision portable coordinate measuring machine (CMM) designed for large-scale tactile inspection and measurement tasks in demanding industrial environments.

This configuration (Model 8340) belongs to the 83 Series and offers a 4.0 m measuring range (4.23 m max reach), providing extended reach for inspecting large parts, assemblies, and structures. It is ideal for industries such as aerospace, automotive, energy, and heavy manufacturing where large-volume measurement is critical.

The 6-axis configuration is optimized for tactile probing applications, delivering accurate and repeatable point measurements for dimensional inspection, alignment, and quality control. The integrated Absolute Encoder technology eliminates warm-up time and referencing, allowing immediate and consistent measurement performance.

The arm is built with a high-strength carbon-fiber structure, ensuring excellent rigidity and thermal stability even under varying environmental conditions. The Zero-G counterbalance system enhances usability by reducing operator fatigue and improving control during extended measurement sessions.

Fully compatible with leading metrology software such as PolyWorks, SpatialAnalyzer, and PC-DMIS, the Absolute Arm integrates seamlessly into existing inspection workflows and digital manufacturing processes.
