Metrology – Portable Arm Measuring Training Course

Open Courses >  Technical Development Courses > Metrology Courses

Introduction

Portable measuring arms, commonly referred to as Romer or Faro arms, are commonplace in many of today’s advance engineering organisations. These manual portable measuring devices provide high accuracy with fast and flexible measurement.

Unlike traditional Co-ordinate measuring machines. Portable arms have to be physically positioned to take precision measurements. Even experienced static CMM operators can find portable arms difficult to use at times.

Our basic training provides solid best practice foundations ensuring arm operators measure work in the most efficient and accurate ways possible.

As portable arms use a variety of software’s, our courses are aimed at a maximum of three people. Ensuring candidates receive undivided attention while focusing on the trainee’s relevant software of choice. These include software such as Cam 10, PC Dmis, Polyworks, Geo Magic, Aberlink etc. Which can all be catered for.

This Four-day course is designed for those working in the manufacturing or industrial industry with an understanding of technical drawings. The course aims to provide delegates with a solid foundation for using portable measurement arms.

  • Arm’s Probe Set-up and Qualification
  • Basic alignment creation in PC Dmis
  • Feature measurement, using 2D and 3D features, with and without CAD
  • Dimensioning 2D and 3D measurement and the relevant differences between the two
  • Basic Reporting

This program mixes theory with practical activities in groups of up to three people from the same company. Where learning is applied through the use of a portable arm with measurement software and customer’s specific parts.

Participants will benefit from:

  • Understanding of Arm’s Probe Set-up and Calibration
  • Understanding of constraining part and alignments
  • Understanding of software’s Feature measurement, with and without CAD
  • Understanding of software’s Dimensioning 2D and 3D dimensioning tools
  • Understanding of software’s workflows and tool layout
