APPLICATIONS
CAD ANALYSIS
CAD based 3D inspections can be simplified with the API ARM. The lightweight and portability of the API ARM allows for efficient CAD comparisons when scanning machined parts vs CAD data.


Reverse Engineering
The API ARM’s portability paired with a high-volume, accurate laser line scanner makes reverse engineering quick & convenient.
RAPID PROTOTYPING
Go beyond scanning small parts with the API ARM. When used with a Radian Laser Tracker, the ARM can scan large complex parts, vehicles, & even helicopters.

FEATURES AND BENEFITS
Simple Operation
Carbon fiber tubes, ergonomic handle, and integrated counterbalance allow scanning with minimal effort.

True Portability
With an integrated battery, WiFi connection, and temperature regulation the arm can perform wherever you need it.

Extended Global Measurement Volume
The API Arm can be paired with an API Laser Tracker to extend the overall working volume of the system while maintaining the highest level of accuracy.

Magnetic Docking
The handle of the arm conveniently attaches to the body when not in use.

Multiple Sizes Available
The API Arm is available in 2m, 2.5m, 3m, 4m, and 4.5m sizes to provide the perfect fit for your application.

APPLICATIONS
