EQUIPMENT DETAILS

The Hexagon Absolute Arm V3P 8730 6-Axis is a premium portable coordinate measuring machine (CMM) from the 87 Series, designed for ultra-high precision tactile inspection of medium-to-large components in advanced industrial environments.

This configuration (Model 8730) offers a 3.0 m measuring range (3.23 m max reach), combining extended reach with the highest accuracy level available within the Absolute Arm product line. It is ideally suited for applications requiring strict tolerances, such as aerospace components, precision tooling, automotive assemblies, and high-end manufacturing.

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

Constructed from high-performance carbon-fiber materials, the arm provides exceptional rigidity and thermal stability under varying environmental conditions. The Zero-G counterbalance system enhances ergonomics, reducing operator fatigue and improving control during extended measurement sessions.

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