3

Ease of Use

Like many of our products, the Trimos Arms pairs to your computer via bluetooth and utilizes the easiest-to-use software on the market- Aberlink 3D

4

Speed & Efficiency

Faster setup and inspection compared to traditional CMMs, reducing downtime.

5

Range & Versatility

Works on complex geometries, large parts, and integrates with probing or laser scanning. Ranges from 1.3m-9m

The Trimos Arm Line-Up

The Fowler Trimos A-line portable articulated measuring arms, assure an extremely easy and accurate 3D measurement. The A-line arms, certified according to ISO10360-2 standards, allow quality control, inspection, and verification of small and large size parts. Thanks to an extremely stable carbon structure, all models are light and easy to operate.

A3

The A3 is the newest model of the Fowler Trimos A-line portable articulated measuring arms.

Its particularity small size enables you to take it anywhere.

The 6-axis configuration arm is available in 51"/1300mm and 70"/1800mm measuring ranges.

The carbon fiber tubes and aluminum mount base gives the A3 arm an extremely stable and light structure. With its mass counterbalance, an effortless handling experience is guaranteed.

A5

The A5 and A6 models represent the entry level of Trimos measuring arms. Reliability, accuracy and flexibility in use are their main characteristics.

The A5 and A6 arms exist in 6 or 7 axis configurations with 70"/1800mm to 354"/9000mm measuring ranges.

They can also be used in combination with Laser Scanners for point cloud inspection or reverse-engineering.

The A5 and A6 arms have magnetic brakes to prevent accidental fall of the arm and advanced electronics for better performance.

A6

If you need to inspect a large, heavy part, don’t move it, take the A5 - A6 arms to it and get your measurements done quickly with great flexibility.

These models have a measuring range of 9m with an incredible accuracy of 0.004"/0.1mm.

This accuracy is attained due to our extensive experience in large volume metrology.

The A5-A6 models are equipped with electromagnetic brakes on the second axis, which allows you to lock it at a required height and use the arm safely and comfortably.

Trimos Arm Accessories

1

Hard Probe

The standard mechanical touch probe comes in various sphere diameters. Points are taken by touching the part and pressing the probe button. The smallest usable diameter is 1mm for accuracy, with a maximum suggested length of 100mm.

2

Floating Probe

The rigid mechanical probe, spring-suspended and touch-triggered by an aluminum ring, ensures accuracy with integrated force control. An isolated control ring prevents thermal impact.

3

Touch Trigger Probe

The touch trigger probe captures points with minimal force, ensuring precision, speed, and ease of use—no button press required.

4

Fastening Bases

Mobile tripods ensure stable, easy movement of A-line arms. Height adjusts from 900-1400mm with a gas-spring-balanced column. A side handle enables smooth positioning, and a rotating shelf holds a laptop conveniently.

5

Magnetic Base

The magnetic base allows the instrument to produce the highest precision with minimum installation effort.
