The Hexagon Absolute Arm V3P 8535 6-Axis is a high-precision portable coordinate measuring machine (CMM) from the advanced 85 Series, engineered for accurate tactile inspection of large components and assemblies in industrial environments.

This configuration (Model 8535) offers a 3.5 m measuring range (3.73 m max reach), making it ideal for applications that require extended reach combined with superior measurement accuracy. It is particularly suited for inspection of large tooling, assemblies, and structural components in aerospace, automotive, energy, and heavy manufacturing industries.

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

The arm’s carbon-fiber construction ensures excellent rigidity and thermal stability, even under changing environmental conditions. The Zero-G counterbalance system enhances ergonomics by reducing operator fatigue and improving control during extended measurement workflows.

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