Designed for high-end 3D measurement applications, the 77 Series boasts a 20 percent improvement in scanning accuracy and a 15 percent improvement in touch-probe accuracy compared to Hexagon’s 75 Series PCMMs.

The 77 Series is divided into five measuring volumes, ranging from 2.5 meters (8.2 feet) to 4.5 meters (14.8 feet). It is compatible with all Hexagon laser scanners and as with the previous ROMER Series, users can choose between 6- or 7-axis configurations.

Hexagon recommends the 6-axis models for touch-probe measurement and the 7-axis models for high-speed laser scanning.

A Plug-and-Play PCMM

ROMER PCMMs are notable for their plug-and-play functionality. Absolute encoders eliminate the need for referencing, so once an arm is turned on it can be used immediately. It’s also possible to change probes without recalibration, further enhancing the ROMER’s flexibility.

In addition, acoustic and haptic feedback are automatically provided to the operator to facilitate the arm’s usage on the shop-floor as well as in the lab.

“The 77 Series takes the accuracy performance of the ROMER Absolute Arm to a new level for dimensional control applications found in safety-critical industries as aerospace, defense, medical and more," said Zvonimir Kotnik, business unit manager for portable products at Hexagon.
