Tomelleri Engineering
Designed and manufactured in Italy since the mid-1980s, Tomelleri Engineering is one of Europe’s earliest producers of portable articulated measuring arms. The range covers measuring volumes from 1.3 m to 9 m diameter, with patented counterbalance systems and integrated laser scanning for production floor and large-volume inspection.
Across sub-Saharan Africa, B&R 3D Solutions supplies, installs, and supports the full Tomelleri articulated arm range, bringing portable Coordinate Measuring Machine (CMM) capability to manufacturers with local technical backing.
Portable Measurement Across Any Scale
Tomelleri articulated arms bring CMM-grade inspection to the part, eliminating the need to transport components to a fixed measurement laboratory. Seven arm models cover measuring volumes from 1.3 m to 9 m diameter, with patented counterbalance systems, 7-axis laser scanning compatibility, and dedicated pipe inspection capability.
- Probing and scanning configurations across compact, mid-range, and large-volume arms to suit any inspection environment
- Integrated pipe measurement through the Space Tubo system with laser forks and dedicated Tomelleri Tubo software
