The ROMER Absolute Arm with external scanner is designed for the high performance laser scanner CMS 108 from Hexagon Metrology. Third party scanners can also be connected.
With CMS 108, the ROMER Absolute Arm offers first-class performance even on complex surfaces and on work pieces made up of the most challenging material types. Teaching of the material is not required because the automatic laser power control of the CMS 108 automatically adapts to the surface conditions. CMS 108 is the first ever laser scanner with a zoom function - providing three different line widths. The ROMER Absolute Arm with external scanner is a premium portable CMM for uncompromising scanning requirements.

1 The Point Repeatability Test is the reference test to determine measurement arm repeatability with ball probe. The cone is in front of the machine. Points are measured from multiple approach directions. The average point and the deviation of each point to the average center are calculated. The result is the maximum range divided by two.
2 The Volumetric Accuracy Test most accurately represents the reasonable expectations for machine performance in practical measuring applications since it involves measuring a certified length standard many times in several locations and orientations and compares the resultant measurements to the actual length. The Volumetric Length Accuracy Test is the most appropriate test for determining machine accuracy and repeatability. The result is the maximum deviation of the measuring distance less the theoretical length.
3 SE designates the ROMER Absolute Arm with external scanner.
4 The Scanning System Accuracy Test most accurately represents the reasonable expectations for machine performance in practical measuring applications while using the laser scanning method. The test consists of measuring a matte grey sphere with 5 different arm articulations. In each articulation of the arm the sphere is scanned from 5 different directions such that the majority of the sphere is scanned. The result is the maximum 3D center to center distance of the 5 spheres.
5 The sensor accuracy is defined as the excursion of the XY location of a calibration artefact through the measuring range of the sensor.
All probing specifications are achieved with a ROMER Absolute Arm mounted on a ROMER base plate or magnetic base and using a 15 mm steel ball probe with a length of 50 mm under stable environmental conditions.
All CMS 108 scanning specifications are achieved with a ROMER Absolute Arm mounted on a ROMER base plate or magnetic base and using CMS 108 zoom setting 2A (mid range scan width 60mm and point spacing 0.03 mm) and a matte grey calibration sphere 25.4 mm diameter under stable environmental conditions.
