Checking and monitoring of ambient temperature:
Prevent use outside normal operating temperatures (10-45°C).
Compensate for the expansion of parts during significant temperature variations.
Check the arm is 100% operational or detect potential anomalies.
Easily use the arm far away from the computer thanks to the integrated wireless connection.
Users particularly appreciate Kreon’s internal counterbalancing because it provides the perfect balance between firmness and flexibility. A lighter arm makes it even easier to use.
A flexible fin cushions the return of the arm to its rest position. A magnet then secures the arm in its rest position and prevents it from swinging forwards.
The large range of axis 2 enables the arm to reach very low areas. A particularly useful feature for tools inspections.
To prevent the handle moving along the arm, it is fixed by magnet to axis 2.This lock prevents the scanner from hitting the arm, for example.
The handle of the Onyx 7-axis arm can be removed to enable measurement in cavities and areas that would otherwise be inaccessible.
The handle is attached and removed simply by pressing the unlock button.
Scanning and probing operations are controlled intuitively using highly responsive buttons located in ideal positions on the handle.
The handle grip offers a secure hold, essential for preventing slipping during prolonged use of the arm.
The probe can be changed without recalibration thanks to the repeatability of the Renishaw interface. The arm automatically detects the probe being used.
With the Onyx arm, you can choose the best acquisition method, be it probing or scanning, depending on the type of part, quickly, at any time and without recalibration.
Dimensional inspection of precise, small geometric areas is better done with the probe while the general shape of the part can be scanned with the 3D scanner without interrupting workflow.
Perfectly integrated into the Onyx arm, Skyline 3D scanners meet the most diverse 3D scanning requirements.
For even greater flexibility, there’s no need to detach the scanner to start probing operations because a probe can be positioned directly beneath the Kreon scanners.
With the Onyx arm, you can choose the best acquisition method, either probing or scanning, depending on the type of part, quickly, at any time and without recalibration.
Dimensional inspection of precise, small geometric areas is better achieved with the probe while the overall shape of the part can be scanned with the 3D scanner without interrupting the workflow.
Perfectly integrated into the Onyx arm, Skyline 3D scanners meet the most diverse 3D scanning requirements.
For even greater flexibility, there’s no need to remove the scanner to start probing operations, as a probe can be positioned directly under the Kreon scanners.
The Onyx measuring arm is also available in 6-axis versions for probing uses. Mainly intended for measuring demanding geometric entities, it is even more accurate than the 7-axis version.
The 6-axis version of the Onyx arm is up to 20% more accurate than the 7-axis version. This version of the arm is the most accurate in the Kreon range.
Axis 6 is extremely mobile with an impressive 360° range. It can easily reach the underside of certain assemblies or the inside of rabbets.
The interior of certain parts, impossible to measure with tracked tools, can easily be reached with the
fineness of the arm's ending.
To offer an exceptional level of accuracy, high-resolution encoders are integrated in the Onyx measuring arm. In this way, the angle formed by each axis of the arm is better determined and each position of the arm during movement is calculated with great precision.
Hot swappable battery: can be removed without switching off the measuring arm and without interrupting the workflow.
To preserve battery life.
International standard 100-250v power supply.
When WiFi and Bluetooth are disabled, or when these protocols cannot be used for security reasons, data from the scanner and the measuring arm can be transferred by Ethernet.
Onyx arm is a high-tech product made from materials used in the aeronautics industry. Carbon fibre is used intensively, ensuring stability while remaining extraordinarily light.
Sensors in the arm ensure that the temperature is constantly monitored and compensated, so that any expansion of the arm components, associated with temperature variations, does not affect measurement accuracy.
All Onyx measuring arms are tested in accordance with the ISO 10360-12 standard. This standard guarantees that the measurement accuracies specified are respected during testing.
What is the ISO standard ?
When axes 2, 4 and 6 are constrained, they can cause measurement deviations. To avoid this, measurements are automatically stopped when they approach the endpoints of these axes. However, these limitations can be disabled if required.
The chest on wheels supplied with the portable measuring arm protects the arm during transport. It also makes it easy to move the arm as close as possible to the application.
The handle on the back of the arm provides a secure grip for easy removal from the chest and placement on the arm support.
The Brunson universal interface can be quickly fastened to various supports such as tripods, magnetic bases or rolling carts, to provide a secure hold.
The probes supplied with the arm are equipped with an integrated key for faster assembly.
The battery cover is simply magnetised, allowing easy access to the battery for replacement or recharging.
*Same data for both 6 and 7-axis versions.
