New Toy

Schrocknroll
I just inherited a Romer Arm from a sister company that bought it in 2017. They never used it since the classes, so we now have it to put it to use. It's an Absolute Arm 7 axis 7525 SE with an external HP-L-20.8 Laser Scanning System.

I'm not counting on getting sent to classes, so I may have a "few" questions as I try to make this thing useful.

Any preemptive pointers are welcome.

  • It was already calibrated, presumably by Hexagon when everything was set up in 2017. It has a kinematic joint, so I believe I should be set with just plug and play.

    I've got it up and running and was able to scan the plastic Hex block.

    They will do an actual Cal at the service center when you send it in for your yearly calibration. Yes, the TKJ connection will make it repeatable but it's still good to do a cal ever so often. especially after significant transport.

    as far as the arm itself, it's always a good idea to perform field checks regularly to make sure the encoders are good. I would contact your local hex office to tell them you just took ownership of a Romer arm and ask the training coordinator to give you access to the RDS course which explains in detail how to do field checks and all that junk. I don't think it's a paid course if your an arm owner.
