ALTO supplies and supports professional Hexagon and FARO portable measuring arms across the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Bahrain and Africa. We provide equipment sales, demonstrations, training, technical support and on-site measurement services for dimensional inspection, quality control, reverse engineering and industrial applications.
A portable measuring arm is a flexible coordinate measuring machine that can be brought directly to the component or production area. Using a tactile probe or integrated 3D laser scanner, the arm captures accurate dimensional data from components, tooling and complex surfaces without requiring them to be transported to a traditional CMM laboratory.
ALTO offers portable measuring arms for tactile inspection, non-contact 3D scanning or combined measurement workflows. Our engineers help customers select the appropriate arm size, accuracy, probing system and scanning configuration according to the application and working environment.
Advantages of Portable Measuring Arms
-
Portable on-site measurement: Components can be inspected directly on the production floor, at customer facilities or in demanding industrial environments.
-
Accurate 3D inspection: Portable measuring arms capture precise coordinate data for dimensional verification, geometric inspection and CAD comparison.
-
Tactile probing and laser scanning: Depending on the selected configuration, measurements can be performed using a contact probe, a non-contact scanner or both technologies.
-
Complex geometry measurement: Articulated joints allow operators to reach internal features, hidden areas and surfaces that may be difficult to inspect with fixed measurement equipment.
-
Quality control: Measured features and scanned surfaces can be compared with drawings or nominal CAD data to identify dimensional deviations.
-
Reverse engineering: Existing components, tooling and legacy parts can be digitised to create accurate CAD models for modification, replacement or manufacturing.
-
Reduced inspection time: Fast setup and flexible operation help reduce component handling, production interruptions and overall measurement time.
-
Versatile industrial applications: Portable measuring arms are widely used in aerospace, automotive, energy, oil and gas, manufacturing, shipbuilding and heavy industry.
ALTO supports the complete portable measurement workflow, from equipment selection and demonstration to installation, software configuration, operator training and technical assistance.
