The ROMER INFINITE 2.0

In today’s fast paced manufacturing environment, gaining every advantage is critical.  For many goods, dimensional inspection right at the point of production can increase overall productivity, reduce scrap and eliminate rework.  ROMER, a Hexagon Metrology company, is the leading innovator in portable shop floor coordinate measuring systems.  Manufacturers in over one hundred different industries in dozens of countries turn to ROMER portable coordinate measuring machines to ensure part quality in circumstances where traditional measuring methods are impractical or impossible.  With ROMER, you take the CMM to the part, instead of taking the part to the CMM.

Introducing the new Infinite 2.0 portable CMM from ROMER. The Infinite 2.0 expands on the innovations of its predecessor, the ROMER INFNITE,  with a variety of new and enhanced features that expand usability and performance. INFINITE 2.0 delivers an unprecendented level of accuracy from a ROMER portable CMM, with available volumetric accuracy of just (+/-) sixteen microns.

The INFINITE 2.0 incorporates a bridge CMM-class kinematic probe joint, which takes ROMER’s automatic probe recognition feature to the next level.  A TESA multi-wire connector, the same type used on the TESAStar motorized CMM probe heads, is now incorporated into each ROMER carbon fiber probe.  Simply connect a new probe to the head, and the software will automatically recognize its type and recall the probe calibration data.  Just as on a bridge CMM, probes can be changed on the fly without re-calibrating.

Another new feature is the handy probe holster, which holds three spare probes and keeps the change key within easy reach at all times.

The new SpinGrip ushers in another major usability feature. Two infinite-rotating grips are located on the arm at the elbow and forearm, and provide low friction grip positions for better ergonomics. The SpinGrips, combined with ROMER’s exclusive “Zero-G” pneumatic counterbalance allows the CMM to literally float in the operator’s hands, even above and below centerline, to minimize operator fatigue and maximize accuracy.

The redesigned wrist is smaller and easier to use, but still incorporates three buttons for use during measuring mode, or as a three-button mouse when the arm is in mouse mode.  The wrist also includes a handy L.E.D. worklight and a digital camera for quick documentation of set-ups.

ROMER has upgraded the INFINITE 2.0's Wi-Fi connection to 802.11g, which allows for data speeds up to fifty times faster than Bluetooth, and a range up to two hundred feet, even through walls.  The Infinite 2.0's lithium-ion rechargeable batteries, combined with a  battery powered laptop means you can inspect with infinite portability for hours using no cables whatsoever.

Features that carry over from the prior generation infinite arm include:

• Universal quick-mount connection for fast mounting to tripods, brunsen stands, magnetic or vacuum bases.
• Carbon fiber tube construction for durability, light weight and thermal stability.
• And of course, ROMER’s patented Infinite Rotation feature on three primary axes, which allows inspection of hard-to reach areas without any worry of reaching the end of travel.

The Infinite 2.0, the smart choice in portable coordinate measuring machines.

With more than twenty years experience in portable metrology, ROMER, a part of the Hexagon Metrology group, is uniquely positioned to deliver the products, services and software that you require to keep your inspection program running smoothly.
