Product Overview
SCANOLOGY’s AccuArm is a portable Coordinate Measuring Machine (PCMM) designed for precision measurement and inspection across metrology labs and production floors. Its rigid aerospace-grade carbon-fiber arm, high-precision encoders and bearings, and rapid setup make on-site measurement feasible where fixed CMMs cannot operate.

Key Features

• Portable & flexible: lightweight carbon-fiber arm with spring counterbalance for single-person operation and quick on-site deployment.
• ISO 10360-12 certified accuracy for contact measurement.
• Three accuracy grades (S, E, C) and multiple reach options from 1.5 m to 4.5 m.
• 360° joint rotation to eliminate blind spots and reduce repositioning.
• Flexible mounting: compatible with tripods, magnetic bases and vacuum suction cups.
• Hot‑swappable fast-charging batteries and USB Wi‑Fi module for continuous operation and secure data transfer.
• Instant probe swap: change probes without recalibration (plug-and-play).
• Arm+ expandable platform: integrates with handheld 3D scanners, optical 3D systems and photogrammetry.
• Seamless software integration: works with DefinSight and common inspection suites (PolyWorks, Metrolog X4, Verisurf).

Precision Hardware

• High-precision encoder: aerospace-grade encoder for accurate data capture at source.
• High-precision bearings: low-friction mechanical design to minimize wear and drift.

Smart Algorithms

• Automated thermal compensation: real-time correction for arm and part during on-site measurements.
• Automated force compensation: adjusts for probe pressure and orientation changes.
• Multi-frame optimization: reduces random error and increases confidence in point measurements.
