CompoTech
High-speed inspection of composite components
See how CompoTech used Kreon ACE portable measuring technology for detailed inspection of large composite components, including surface inspection, dimensional verification and CAD comparison.
Portable CMM Arms
Discover the unrivalled capabilities of our collection of portable arms, setting the benchmark for flexible, portable CMM technology.
Featuring the latest ACE and ONYX portable measuring arms from our partners at Kreon, our range gives manufacturers the freedom to inspect, scan and capture measurement data directly at the component, whether that’s on the shop floor, at the machine or on larger parts that are difficult to move.
From probing and 3D scanning through to dimensional inspection, CAD comparison and reverse engineering, portable CMM arms bring accurate measurement to where the work actually happens.
Whether you’re upgrading your current metrology setup or investing in portable measurement for the first time, our team can help you choose the right system for your application and support you with demonstrations, software, training and ongoing technical advice.

Frequently Asked Questions
A portable CMM arm is a flexible coordinate measuring system that can be taken directly to the component. Depending on the setup, it can be used for probing, 3D scanning, dimensional inspection, CAD comparison and reverse engineering.
Portable measuring arms are particularly useful for large, heavy or difficult-to-move components, shop-floor inspection, scanning complex surfaces and measurement work that needs to take place away from a fixed CMM.
The cost depends on factors including arm size, measurement requirements, scanning capability, software and the overall system configuration. Talk to us about your application and we can recommend an appropriate setup and provide a quote.
That depends on what you need to measure, where the equipment will be used and whether you need probing, scanning or both. Our applications engineers can review your requirements and recommend the most suitable Kreon system.
