ABSOLUTE 83 2.5 METRE ARM WITH ABSOLUTE SCANNER AS1

Experience precision in a new dimension: The Absolute Arm

Lightweight, portable, and user-centric, our mobile measuring arm provides you with high-precision measurements where and when you need them.

Absolute Arm 7-Axis key features

Absolute Encoders

Exclusive to Absolute Arm, no referencing needed: power on and measure.

Advanced construction

High-end carbon-fibre ensures thermal stability and uneven tube lengths typical in industrial robot design make the arm lighter to use.

Sensor recognition

Change touch probes or mount sensors on the fly without realignment.

Total protection

Full IP54 rating is standard on all Absolute Arm models for measurement in challenging environments.

Asset management

Compatibility with the Metrology Asset Manager solution allows remote realtime status and performance monitoring in the field.

Handling grips

Ergonomic infinite-rotation grips minimise operator fatigue, ensure thermal stability and maximise accuracy.

Zero-G counterbalance

Effectively balances the arm while minimising torque in the arm’s base, making movement effortless.

Control packs (WiFi and battery)

Boost functionality with full scanning performance over WiFi or single-cable connection (USB or Ethernet) and battery power (hot‑swappable dual battery

pack).

RDS SMART

Proprietary software featuring Self‑Monitoring Analysis and Reporting Technology that manages the arm in the field by monitoring diagnostics including shocks and temperature changes.

RDS Quick Measure

Built-in utility program allows basic measurements without additional software.

Absolute Scanner AS1

With the Absolute Scanner AS1, there are no compromises. There’s no need to reduce scanning speed to achieve best-quality data, even when using a WiFi connection; no sacrificing usability and productivity in the search for better quality. Just premium engineering that guarantees reliable, high-accuracy results.
