The Romer Absolute Arm 1.2m portable coordinate measuring machine (CMM) uses industry-proven technology to provide high-accuracy 3D measurement in a 1.2 m volume. It is ideal for use within confined spaces, including inside a machining center for dimensional control of molds, parts, tooling, castings, and more. The Romer Absolute Arm 1.2m streamlines the measurement process as a viable alternative to a range of manual tools such as height gages, dial calipers, bore gages, gage blocks, micrometers, and dial indicators.

To simplify set-ups, a counterweight system enables the Romer Absolute Arm 1.2m to be used without mountings on any surface. Absolute encoders, a standard feature on the Absolute Arm line, eliminate complicated referencing procedures. The operator can start measuring with merely the flip of a switch. Romer Absolute Arm feature packs allow wireless battery-powered operation for maximum portability on the shop-floor, while an integrated camera and worklight facilitate inspections in harsh environments.

A replacement for the ROMER MultiGage, the Romer Absolute Arm 1.2m is available in two models and can be certified to ISO 10360-2 or B89.4.22. Usability features include automatic probe recognition to ensure repeatable results for different probes without calibration and haptic feedback to alert users if an axis limit is reached, eliminating the risk of bad measurements. The Romer Absolute Arm 1.2m is also compatible with PC-DMIS Touch, the revolutionary measurement software that uses high-resolution Multi-Touch display technology on a tablet PC.
