Hand grips (85 / 87 series)
On the Absolute Arms 85 and 87 series, the second hand can hold the grips of the arm (SpinGrip or
SpinKnob).
Then the orientation of the axes can be imposed to the arm.
NOTICE
When holding the grips, keep taking care not to apply any constraint on the axes of the arm.
Counterbalance
The Absolute Arm is counterbalanced; it means that there is no need in holding the elbow of the arm when
measuring: let the counterbalance working alone, and simply hold the wrist of the arm to approach the
probe to the part and to press the button for points capture.
However, it may be necessary in some conditions to maintain the elbow of the arm: to avoid hitting the arm
to an environmental part, to use the remote-control mouse with the arm in horizontal position …
In such case, simply hold the grip, ensuring not to apply constraint on the axes of the arm.
