Tomelleri Engineering Portable Articulated Arms
When critical components cannot be moved to a fixed Coordinate Measuring Machine (CMM), you need portable measurement technology that delivers lab-grade accuracy wherever the part is – without compromising repeatability or data integrity.
Tomelleri Engineering’s handcrafted Italian measuring arms do exactly that – from the compact, ultra-accurate 5-axis Micron to the large-volume 9 m Explorer, with a dedicated pipe and tube inspection system built around integrated laser measurement and CNC bending correction.
