Full flexibility - Portable productivity

The Metris MCA, Manual Coordinate measuring Arm, is a precise, reliable and comfortable portable measuring system available in a 6- or 7-axis version. It feels perfectly at home in the metrology lab as well as on the shop ﬂoor.

The MCA can be equipped with a wide range of probing systems for touch trigger measurements, continuous scanning and laser scanning. Its ﬂexibility makes the Metris measurement arm the perfect partner for a wide range of measurement tasks.

ACCURACY FIRST

Accuracy certified according to ISO 10360-2 or ASME B89 standard
Temperature compensation in +5 to +40°C temperature range

MEASURE ANYWHERE

True portable system thanks to lightweight carbon fiber and aluminum alloy components
Different tripods supported (standard 3 ½” x 8 interface)

ERGONOMIC DESIGN

6- or 7-axis version designed for touch probe measurement and laser scanning measurement
Electromagnetic brake blocks the lower segment of the arm thus partly bearing the arm weight
Ergonomic position of all measurement buttons including brake activation button

FLEXIBLE PROBING

Metris’ unique floating touch probe assists users in applying constant contact forces, resulting in highly accurate and repeatable measurements. Instant visual feedback helps the user to qualify his measurement
The Metris MMD laser scanner fits the 7 axis MCA and offers premium scanning capability and productivity, without requiring an interface box

Technical Specifications

The MCA comes in a 6 axis and a 7 axis version with two variants. The I6 and I7 variants are ideally suited for those applications where a quick veriﬁcation of dimensions are needed. The M6 and M7 variants provide higher accuracy required for true metrology applications. Both variants come standard with the electromagnetic brake for optimal handling comfort, while the quick mount probe adapter facilitates the easy exchange of measurement probes.
