You calibration standards are what usually dictate this frequency. However, I would still continue to have the calibration done annually, if nothing more than peace of mind that the results were as accurate as possible. Especially for Engineering R&D.
I'm going to use the words calibration standard in a different capacity. Do you have a calibration standard that came with your arm? It's a bar with some holes that look like they were made with a center drill on it, and lengths identified on it for the pitch between those holes. If you do, and you're looking to save a few bucks, send the bar out for calibration yearly, and the Romer out every other year. The bar is a lot cheaper to certify ($50-100 versus $2000), and you can use it in house along with the cimcore software to verify that length and point checks are still giving good numbers. If you've never done the length or point checks, PM me and I'll give you a more detailed explanation of what to do and what you're looking to see in terms of variation and error.
