ABOUT
MEASURING ARMS IN BRIEF
Measuring arms are a particular type of measurement machine on six or seven axes designed to offer the possibility of transporting the device and carrying out dimensional measurements directly in a production environment, without having to accept compromises on actual accuracy of obtained data. This is made possible by the multiple joints of the measuring arm, which allow for a very wide range of movements.
Fratelli Rotondi designs and manufactures portable measuring arms for on-site measurements. also in cooperative mode.
THE IMPORTANCE OF MEASURING ARMS
Measuring arms are a type of metrological machine that is irreplaceable in all those cases in which transporting the components to be measured in a special metrology laboratory would prove uneconomical, inconvenient, or simply impossible. Cases particularly suitable for the use of measuring arms are for example those in which measurements must be taken while the parts are still inside particular assemblies, or similar type structures. This opens up the possibility of making high-precision measurements even in uncontrolled environments and less than ideal conditions, such as production lines.
THE ADVANTAGES OF MEASURING ARMS
Measuring arms are measurement systems that do not require programming, and make the operator’s job much easier. The advantages of measuring arms can be summarized as follows:
- Transportability, which allows them to be placed in any point necessary to carry out the measurement;
- Ease of use, given the extremely natural and clear functioning of the measuring arm;
- Perfect compatibility with any situation, even in the busiest production department.
