Advanced Measurement Devices for CNC and Automation

Precision measurement is crucial in CNC and automation technology. Two notable devices in this sector are the Hexagon ARM 8735 and the Leica Absolute Tracker AT960, each offering distinct features tailored for industrial applications.

Hexagon ARM 8735

The Hexagon ARM 8735 is a versatile measuring arm ideal for rapid measurement and 3D scanning, particularly for automotive components up to 3.5 meters long. It achieves an element measurement accuracy of 0.019 mm during probing and a scanning accuracy of 0.065 mm, with a measuring range of 3500 mm and a scan speed of 1.2 million points per second.

A key advantage of the Hexagon ARM 8735 is its capability to scan glossy surfaces without requiring surface preparation, such as powdering. This feature enhances efficiency in time-sensitive environments. Furthermore, it supports outdoor scanning, making it adaptable for various measurement contexts.

Leica Absolute Tracker AT960

The Leica Absolute Tracker AT960 enhances measurement capabilities with its long-range laser tracking technology. It is designed to measure both small and large objects, with a measurement volume of up to 320 meters in diameter for 3D scanning and 40 meters for 6D measurements. This device is suitable for diverse industries and features IP54 protection, ensuring reliable performance in outdoor conditions.

Its applications are extensive, including the measurement of molds, interiors, and exteriors, as well as facilitating robotization and automation processes. The AT960 offers a measuring accuracy of 0.015 + 0.006 mm/m and a scanning accuracy of +/- 0.06 mm, with a maximum measuring distance of 160 meters. A standout feature is its rapid detection of deviations using a color map, which identifies critical areas and discrepancies between the actual part and its digital model.

Both the Hexagon ARM 8735 and the Leica Absolute Tracker AT960 exemplify advancements in measurement technology, providing the precision and flexibility essential for modern manufacturing and quality control.
