The Romer arm is a portable CMM designed for manufacturing industries, such as Automotive, Aerospace and general industry that need to inspect, measure or reverse engineer work pieces. They work by securing the base of the arm to a fixed location. A probe at the end of the arm is moved to the required locations and points are then recorded by pressing the button on the arms handle. The probes position is determined by high quality angle encoders. These points are recorded by the software and used to determine dimension such as length, radii, angles etc. If used with a scanner, thousands of points are recorded per second and a point cloud is formed. This point cloud can then be used to generate a 3D model in the software and directly compared to a CAD model. Romer (also know as Cimcore) invented the measuring arm and maintain their lead in technology with features such as infinite rotation and best thermal stability.
Probing Solutions
Probing with a Romer measuring arm will offer a high accuracy solution for inspection of parts in particular measurements such as lengths, angles, diameters etc. Pairing the arms with advanced metrology software allows for GD&T information such as flatness, circularity etc.
Romer Absolute Arm: 73 & 75 models
Features
Absolute encoders - No initialization required.
Portable - Wireless Wifi Battery Pack
Carbon Fibre Body - Thermal Stability, no warm up required, lightweight
Smart Probes - No calibration required
Ergonomic - Patented Infinite Rotation; all axis of the arm rotate continuously
Features Infinite rotation
All Romer arms have infinite rotation. This means that all the joints are able to be rotated continuously without ever locking. This increases user comfort as it enables the user to reach hard to access points that might have otherwise only been reached by moving the entire unit. This remarkable feature of the Romer arm increases the overall efficiency and measuring speed
Wireless Wi-Fi Battery Pack
The wireless battery pack, with its rugged casing, 5 hours running time and Wi-Fi connection with a range of 50meters, enables the arm to be taken into most workplaces.
Carbon Fiber Body
Romer arms contain a carbon fiber body. In addition to the lightweight characteristics, the carbon fiber also provides extreme thermal stability. This means that the arm will not expand or contract due to fluctuation in the surrounding temperatures, therefore providing constant high accuracies. Additionally, the carbon fibre body eliminates the need for a warm up time. Therefore it is switch on and measure.
TESA Smart Probes
The TESA smart probes have a microchip containing information of that particular probe. This allows the software to automatically recognize the probe's size and shape, eliminating the need to calibrate the probe every time before use.
