EQUIPMENT DETAILS

The Hexagon Absolute Arm V3P 8540 6-Axis is a high-precision portable coordinate measuring machine (CMM) from the advanced 85 Series, designed for accurate tactile inspection of large-scale components in demanding industrial environments.

This configuration (Model 8540) provides a 4.0 m measuring range (4.23 m max reach), offering extended reach combined with enhanced measurement accuracy. It is ideal for applications such as large assembly inspection, tooling verification, structural measurement, and alignment tasks in industries including aerospace, automotive, energy, and heavy manufacturing.

The 6-axis version is optimized for tactile probing, delivering highly accurate and repeatable point measurements for dimensional control and quality assurance. The integrated Absolute Encoder technology eliminates warm-up time and referencing, enabling immediate operation and consistent high-performance results.

The arm features a rigid carbon-fiber structure that ensures thermal stability and durability even under variable environmental conditions. The Zero-G counterbalance system enhances ergonomics, 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 modern digital inspection and manufacturing workflows.
