Measure with the arm
H00007091 - Absolute Arm User Manual │Version 5.2.0 (2019-03-07) │116
F.1.2 HOLDING THE ARM
Never apply any constraint on the arm, especially with the 1.2 arm when not fixed on the work surface.
A constraint or an excessive pull on a 1.2 arm may displace the base of the arm, especially if the surface
is slippery.
The Absolute Arm is designed to be held with one hand only. Left-handed or right-handed users should
hold the wrist of the Absolute Arm with their main hand and put their thumb or forefinger on the buttons.
The second hand of the user can then be used to guide the ball of the probe precisely.
Always ensure that the arm and the part to measure don’t move relative to each other.
The lock position also can be used to hold the arm in an angled position (e.g. 45°) to avoid hitting a low
ceiling, or when a small part should be measured or digitized: move down the elbow of the arm and lock it,
to get a comfortable position.
