SPACE Plus and SPACE – Measurement Arms
The SPACE Plus and the SPACE are two portable articulated arms CMM, ideal for quick and accurate inspection of any parts within its range. They are the result of nearly 30 years of experience in production of portable measurement arms, culminating in this renewed version. Now we have better accuracy and repeatability and also a new design nice to see. ENQUIRE The SPACE line arms are now lighter and this make it easier to handle the arm during measuring. The counter-balance system with a double spring also gives the machine characteristics of precision light-weight and easy handling. Our new arm is the top of reliability, accuracy, and flexibility in use. The SPACE Plus arm can be used also in combination with Laser Scanners for point cloud inspection or reverse-engineering, in 7 axis configuration. This version has some unique features like the magnetic brake , which prevent accidental fall of the arm and improved electronics for better performance. It’s the perfect equipment for touch or laser inspection and reverse-engineering and is suitable also for pipe inspection with laser fork and dedicated software.

Hard ProbeThe mechanical probe is the standard touch probe, available with different sphere diameter. Points can be taken touching the part and pushing the button on board the probe body. The smallest usable probe diameter is 1mm to guarantee the point accuracy, the maximum length suggested is 100mm. Touch Trigger ProbeThe touch trigger probe acquire points applying the minimum force on the measured part. Is a very precise, quick and comfortable in use, acquires points only touching the surface, without triggering buttons. Floating ProbeIt is a rigid mechanical probe suspended on a spring driven by an aluminium ring that triggers the probe with a simple touch. The integrated force control avoids to apply uncontrolled load on the part, improving accuracy and repeatability. The control ring is isolated from the probe stylus to avoid thermal impact from the hands of the user. Mobile TripodsStable and practical, the ideal accessory to move easily and quickly. The tripod is adjustable in height and the weight of the tripod column is balanced by a gas spring. Tripods are also available with a shelf. Mobile WorkbenchSturdy and portable. Can be built to suit your requirements. Workstation Magnetic BaseThis magnetic base will allow your machine to produce the highest quality precision. Only a minimum effort required to install it with your machine tool. Vacuum BaseThe vacuum base is ideal for on flat surfaces such as a granite table. Laser ScannerFor a complex-profile contour scanning the new lighter PreciTrack3D ALP laser scanners can be combined with our 7 axis arms.
