EQUIPMENT DETAILS

The Hexagon Absolute Arm V3P 8725 6-Axis is a premium portable coordinate measuring machine (CMM) from the 87 Series, engineered for ultra-high precision tactile inspection in the most demanding metrology applications.

This configuration (Model 8725) offers a 2.5 m measuring range (2.73 m max reach), delivering an optimal balance between compact reach and maximum measurement accuracy. The 87 Series represents the highest accuracy class within the Absolute Arm lineup, making it ideal for precision-critical industries such as aerospace, automotive, precision manufacturing, and advanced engineering.

The 6-axis version is optimized for tactile probing, providing extremely accurate and repeatable point measurements for dimensional inspection, alignment, and quality control. With patented Absolute Encoder technology, the system requires no warm-up or referencing, allowing immediate operation and consistent performance.

The arm is constructed using high-performance carbon-fiber materials to ensure superior rigidity and thermal stability, even in fluctuating environmental conditions. The Zero-G counterbalance system enhances ergonomics and minimizes operator fatigue, enabling precise measurements during long inspection sessions.

The Absolute Arm integrates seamlessly with leading metrology software such as PolyWorks, SpatialAnalyzer, and PC-DMIS, supporting advanced inspection workflows and digital manufacturing environments.
