Features & Benefits

Features & Benefits New Design • Global common family appearance • New design focusing on weight reduction and ergonomics • New handle design makes it easier to lift the arm out of the case, simplifies set up and arm relocation • Weight reduction allows an easier setup and better arm handling during operation • No onsite installation preparations required – turn it on and measure 5

Features & Benefits Infinite Rotation • Hexagon Metrology Holds the Patent on Infinite Rotation – Just one of many ROMER innovations – No bumping into hard stops and losing position – No need to unwind the system – All major axes go Round and Round FOREVER 6

Features & Benefits New Carbon Graphite Tube Construction • • • More durable than steel – Space age technology – Used throughout the aerospace industry Rigid – Tubes are 3 -times more rigid than standard carbon fiber tubes Light weight – Reduces operator fatigue Increased thermal stability Guaranteed for life – Under normal use the Carbon Graphite Tubes are guaranteed for the life of the product 7

Features & Benefits New Improved ZERO-G Counterbalance • Improved Low Profile Zero G Counter Balance • Specially designed pneumatic shock with improved release characteristics reduces stress on C-axis when moving up too fast • Significantly reduces operator fatigue • Less sensitive for fast movements – easier for untrained operators to get accurate results • Enables one handed operation • Never pulls the arm up or pushes it down • Holds the elbow and allows it to float 8

Features & Benefits New Dual Yoke Housing Design • Decreased Arm Weight • Decreased Number of Coupling ►Increased Reliability • C-Axis moved forward ►Vertical Home Position 9

Features & Benefits New Absolute Encoders • No reset or initialisation of encoders required – turn it on and measure • High accuracy encoders offer angle accuracy of 1 arc sec (15 times more accurate then Heidenhain encoders used prior) • Virtually no temperature drifts allow to start your measuring task immediately – turn it on and measure • A true Hexagon solution – market leading encoders produced by Leica Geosystems tailored for ROMER arms • Sealed system protects your investment 10

Features & Benefits TESA Probes • ROMER’s established automatic probe recognition feature is combined with proven, robust kinematic joint connection • Plug-and-Measure reduces operator mistakes: When a probe is changed during the measurement job, the probe is automatically identified by the software without any recalibration • New probes can be easily calibrated on site using the easy to use RDS macro guides 11

Features & Benefits Spin. Grip and Spin. Knob • Spin. Grip located on the E-Axis and Spin. Knob at the elbow with infinite rotation – two “approved” grip positions for increased ergonomics – Reducing user loads and friction – Minimize operator’s fatigue – Maximize accuracy • Spin. Grip and Spin. Knob are available for 75 series only arms, 2. 5 m or longer only 12

Features & Benefits New Feature Pack Technology • Feature Packs plug into the arm base and provide interchangeable and upgradeable add-on capabilities such as Wi-Fi connection, battery power, and more • Unique Feature Pack Port represents a standardized data port which is a key feature for future innovations • Mobility Pack – Go fully wireless with battery and Wi-Fi data connection • Mobility Pack – Comes as a standard with every 75 series arm 13

Features & Benefits New Feature Pack Technology • All Electronics External to arm structure – Thermal Stability – Mechanical Stability • Light weight • Future Proofing – Add new feature packs later • Improved Serviceability 14

Features & Benefits New RDS Interface • Reduced training efforts for sales people, support engineers and customers by using just one common interface for all arms and gauges • Simplified product structure - supporting all common and compatible volume extension an repositioning tools • Macro guided verification and calibration routines allow operators without specific knowledge to follow calibration according to given Standards (B 89. 4. 22, VDI/VDE 2617 -9) • Combining the best of both worlds in a common interface 15

Features & Benefits Packaging Everything packed and ready to go 16

Features & Benefits Production Processes • Dust protected production lines with special protective measures for assembly teams • Every arm goes through a specific vibration treatment and thermal cycling before calibration and shipment 17

Features & Benefits Production Processes • Every arm goes through an extended 24 h temperature cycle process before calibration and shipment 18

Features & Benefits Production Processes • Production and Design Enhancements ensure that the Absolute Arm is the most stable arm we have ever produced • Significant reduction of mechanical movement helps to minimize accuracy impacts during transport and storage • Arms are calibrated at the assembly sites, shipped and arrive within specifications – without recalibration 19

Features & Benefits Arm Calibration Data Management • Arm calibration data including standard probes are stored directly in the arm • Just turn it on and measure – No hassle with missing calibration files 20
