and Reporting Technology – system interface that is compatible with
provides full diagnostic monitoring for and supported by all major portable
comprehensive measurement reliability. metrology software packages.
Verification Certification
Every Absolute Arm is supplied with a Probing accuracy certified to ISO 10360-
CMM-certified measurement artefact, 12 as standard, along with full scanning
allowing users to verify the performance system accuracy specification to ISO
of their arm at any time. 10360-8 Annex D.
Encoders
The Absolute Encoders within every articulated joint are exclusive to Hexagon
and make the Absolute Arm the only portable measuring arm that has
completely eliminated warm-up times and encoder referencing before use.
Movement
The unique Zero-G Counterbalance system and low-friction rotating grips reduce
user fatigue and maximise accuracy by minimising inertia.
Measurement
Multi-functional control buttons and a convenient wrist display screen put
measurement control directly in the user’s hand, while a range of probes and
the RS5 and RS6 Laser Scanner deliver flexible measurement.
Feedback
Easy user interaction in even the harshest industrial environments through
visual, acoustic and haptic feedback functions, now augmented with Bluetooth
technology.
Materials
High-tech carbon-fibre tube construction ensures strength and thermal
stability under any environmental conditions.
Security
The HomeDock and SmartLock features allow the arm to be stowed and locked
in place between measurements, for greater security during transport, set-up
and station moves.
Customise
Easily interchangeable Control Packs deliver WiFi connectivity and battery
power, for completely portable wireless measurement – no more messy cables
on the shop floor.

TOOLS
The BendingStudio software platform links all data and processes around
the production of bended parts – from design and process planning to
manufacturing and quality control. BendingStudio is the only tool to meet and
combine these requirements with an emphasis on metrological processes.
With clear actual-nominal value comparison allowing for fast evaluation, the
implementation of multiple inspection plans with individual measurement
criteria for each part, and the presentation of results remaining the same
no matter the origin of the data, BendingStudio is the complete package for
complex analysis and management of tube and wire production.
With the capacity to work with measurement input from both TubeInspect
and Absolute Arm systems, BendingStudio is a key part of any tube and wire
manufacturing toolkit.

The Portable Measuring Arm factories provide a 2-year manufacturer warranty for Hexagon arms and scanners (excluding HP-L-8.9
and HP-L-20.8), starting at the customer delivery date or 3 months after the factory delivery to the Hexagon representative, with the
following terms:
1. Repair of manufacturing defects on the following components: arm, encoders, encoder board, electronic boards, probe, all
other arm parts, scanners optics and light source (excluding HP-L-8.9 and HP-L-20.8) and all other arm parts.
2. The warranty of two (2) years is valid only if an arm service check is performed during the first year. This is a paid service, which
needs to be purchased by the customer at any time between the arm delivery and the due date, meaning maximum one (1) year
after the instrument delivery.
3. Unlimited telephone and e-mail technical support during the warranty period.
4. Under normal usage, the carbon graphite tubes have a lifetime warranty.
5. Customer assumes all shipping costs.
The Portable Measuring Arm factories offer 1, 2, or 3-year renewals for the standard factory warranty plan. To be eligible for
renewal, the warranty plan renewal can be ordered with the instrument or ordered before the existing warranty plan expires. The
standard factory warranty plan renewals for instruments have the following terms:
1. Replacement or repair, at Portable Measuring Arm factory’s option, free of charge, of any component or parts of the instrument
which upon examination are found defective in workmanship or material.
2. Any required repairs not covered by the warranty plan renewal are extra.
3. The instrument must be returned to the arm factory or an authorised and certified service centre of Hexagon Manufacturing
Intelligence if a repair, calibration, or certification needs to be performed.
4. For the renewals of the warranty, the instrument needs to be calibrated in a certified service centre, with the first time 18
months latest after delivery. The next calibrations are then every 12 months according to the warranty plan renewal.
