Sizes
Our Absolute Arms come in a range of seven sizes. Smallest is the 1.2 metre diameter measurement volume of the Absolute Arm Compact. The full-sized Absolute Arm systems are available in measurement volume diameters of 2.0, 2.5, 3.0, 3.5, 4.0 and 4.5 metres.
When choosing an arm size, it’s important to remember two things: firstly, that accuracy performance is inherently better with a shorter arm because of its kinematic properties; and secondly, that our model sizes correspond to the diameter of the maximum usable measurement volume we recommend for that arm model. The actual maximum reach of an arm is typically 10-15 percent larger than the measurement diameter. When comparing arms that claim to be the same size, make sure they really are the same size by the same realistic standard.
