EQUIPMENT DETAILS

The Hexagon Absolute Arm V3P 8345 6-Axis is a large-volume portable coordinate measuring machine (CMM) designed for high-precision tactile inspection of oversized components and complex assemblies in industrial environments.

This configuration (Model 8345) belongs to the 83 Series and provides an extended 4.5 m measuring range (4.73 m max reach), making it the largest model in this series. It is ideally suited for applications requiring maximum reach, such as aerospace structures, heavy machinery, automotive frames, and large tooling inspection.

The 6-axis configuration focuses on tactile probing, delivering accurate and repeatable point measurements for dimensional control, alignment, and quality assurance. The system features patented Absolute Encoders, eliminating the need for warm-up or referencing and ensuring immediate readiness for operation.

Constructed from high-performance carbon-fiber materials, the arm maintains excellent rigidity and thermal stability across varying environmental conditions. The Zero-G counterbalance system significantly reduces operator fatigue and enhances control, even when working across large measurement volumes.

The Absolute Arm integrates seamlessly with leading metrology software platforms such as PolyWorks, SpatialAnalyzer, and PC-DMIS, enabling efficient inspection workflows and digital manufacturing integration.
