Portable Arm Series Sets New Standards in Portable Measurement
The field of portable arm measurement has reached a new milestone with the launch of the PMT GAMMA Series. This cutting-edge innovation from chinese supplier PMT is set to transform industries by addressing real-world measurement challenges with a focus on usability, efficiency, and adaptability. Building on the success of the ALPHA Series, the GAMMA range offers enhanced features and capabilities for tackling complex measurement tasks. Manchester Metrology has announced the introduction of the groundbreaking solution to the UK market, as the UK official PMT supplier.
To cater to diverse needs and budgets, the GAMMA Arm is available in three configurations GAMMA P (Flagship Model), GAMMA M (Standard Model) and GAMMA E (Economy Model).
Key GAMMA arm features include:
- World’s first external decoupling and internal balancing system
- Advanced dual suspension support structure
- Four-jaw quick-mount base collar for seamless setup
- High-speed connectivity with a 5G Wi-Fi module and wired USB options
- Smart sensing probe system for precise measurements
Dual Suspension Support Structure
The heart of the GAMMA Series is its state-of-the-art dual suspension support structure, designed to deliver unmatched stability and ease of use. Featuring the world’s first external decoupling and built-in balancing mechanism, the GAMMA Arm minimizes joint loads and extends standby time. Its lightweight, aerospace-grade carbon fiber construction ensures it is highly portable and reliable, whether deployed on-site or in-house.
Force-Isolation Technology for Enhanced Precision
The GAMMA Arm introduces a force-isolation mechanism that separates hand pressure from the scanning head’s weight. This technology significantly improves scanning stability and accuracy, especially during intricate measurement tasks, ensuring reliable results.
Optional Blue Laser Scanner
The GAMMA Series can be further enhanced with the optional blue laser scanner, which integrates an optimized optical design to maintain stable scanning accuracy. The upgrade is ideal for complex applications, such as measuring large or uniquely shaped workpieces and overcoming limitations of traditional contact probes.
Optional 8-Axis Rotary Worktable
The PMT GAMMA 8-Axis Rotary Worktable is a complete rotary axis that connects directly with the GAMMA 7-axis arm, providing a fully enclosed, high-accuracy add-on axis that saves time and effort during hardware setup. Unlike turntables, the 8-Axis is fully transparent to the measurement software and requires no software upgrades. This allows the real-time rotation of the workpiece in relation to the measuring arm, eliminating the need to reposition either the part or the arm.
Key benefits of the rotary worktable integration include:
- Reduced Measurement Time: Expands the measuring range, reducing inspection time by up to 40% compared to standard 7-axis systems.
- Enhanced Operator Efficiency: Eliminates concerns about dead spots, streamlining inspection and digitization processes for even the most complex parts.
- Faster Post-Processing: Minimizes scan alignment requirements, accelerating subsequent processing tasks by eliminating the need to reposition either the arm or the workpiece.
The PMT GAMMA Series represents a leap forward in portable metrology, offering exceptional flexibility, accuracy, and efficiency. With its innovative design and versatile capabilities, it is poised to set new standards across industries.
