EQUIPMENT DETAILS

The Hexagon Absolute Arm V3P 8520 6-Axis is a high-precision portable coordinate measuring machine (CMM) from the advanced 85 Series, engineered for demanding tactile measurement and inspection applications where superior accuracy is required.

This configuration (Model 8520) offers a 2.0 m measuring range (2.23 m max reach) and delivers significantly improved measurement performance compared to standard models, making it ideal for precision manufacturing, aerospace components, automotive parts, and high-tolerance assemblies.

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

The arm’s carbon-fiber structure provides exceptional rigidity and thermal stability, even in challenging industrial environments. The Zero-G counterbalance system reduces operator fatigue and enhances control, allowing precise measurements across extended 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.
