A ROMER Arm is a term for a portable coordinate measuring machine ROMER, a company Acquired by the Hexagon AB group, and part of the Manufacturing Intelligence division, designed the ROMER arm in the 1980s to solve the problem of how to measure large objects such as airplanes and car bodies without moving them to a dedicated measuring laboratory.
A coordinate-measuring machine (CMM) is a device that measures the geometry of physical objects by sensing discrete points on the surface of the object with a probe. Various types of probes are used in CMMs, the most common being mechanical and laser sensors, though optical and white light sensors do exist.
Brown & Sharpe is a division of Hexagon AB, a Swedish multinational corporation focused mainly on metrological tools and technology. During the 19th and 20th centuries, Brown & Sharpe was one of the best-known and most influential machine tool builders and was a leading manufacturer of instruments for machinists (such as micrometers and indicators).
Hexagon AB is a multinational industrial technology company. [6] Headquartered in Stockholm , Sweden, [ 4 ] and publicly traded on the Nasdaq Stockholm exchange, [ 7 ] the company since 2000 has had a particular focus on measuring technology [ 8 ] and geospatial tools and software. [ 4 ]
The port of Linux for Hexagon runs under a hypervisor layer ("Hexagon Virtual Machine" [25]) and was merged with the 3.2 release of the kernel. [26] [27] The original hypervisor is closed-source, and in April 2013 a minimal open-source hypervisor implementation for QDSP6 V2 and V3, the "Hexagon MiniVM" was released by Qualcomm under a BSD-style ...
A CMM provides a rapid method for inspecting absolute points, but geometric relationships, such as runout, parallelism, perpendicularity, etc., must be calculated rather than measured directly. By aligning an accurate spindle with an electronic test indicator with a geometric feature of interest, rather than using a non-scanning cartesian probe ...
Where the standard CMM uses a three dimensional Cartesian X, Y, Z system where each axis is orthogonal to the other, a Cylindrical Coordinate Measuring Machine omits the X or Y axis. The probe moves in only two axes (the vertical Z and either X or Y horizontal) and the rotating table positions the subject of inspection (a cylindrical part ...
The brand Leica, better known for Leica Cameras, was formed on 2 April 1990 after the merger of several companies.In 2005, the company was acquired by Hexagon AB.Leica was listed on the Swiss stock exchange until the 7 August 2006 which saw the cancellation of all publicly held registered shares in Leica Geosystems Holdings Ltd and delisting of all listed registered shares of a par value of ...
