Optimizing Large-Scale Metrology: 5 Reasons to Choose a Large-Size Measuring Arm

Kreon Resource: 5 Reasons to Choose a Large-Size Measuring Arm 2Measuring large industrial components presents unique challenges, often requiring operators to balance significant reach with high-precision tolerances. In this featured resource, our partners at Kreon outline specific scenarios where large-size measuring arms outperform traditional methods. These advanced systems are capable of measuring volumes up to 5 meters while maintaining consistent accuracy throughout the entire working volume, making them a powerful tool for quality control on the shop floor.

By using the Kreon Skyline scanner equipped with a 300 mm wide laser line, operators can also minimize scan passes and significantly speed up measurement cycles. Whether you are inspecting massive assemblies or complex internal geometries, this guide demonstrates how the right hardware can streamline your workflow.

Take a look at this guide to learn:

  • How to maintain accuracy over large volumes: Discover how Kreon arms perform up to 5 meters without sacrificing precision.
  • Techniques for hard-to-reach inspections: Learn how to easily measure inside machine tools, large assemblies, and hollow forms like barrels and tanks.
  • Methods to protect fragile parts: See how moving the arm around the part—rather than moving the part itself—preserves the structural integrity of components prone to deformation.
  • Alternatives to laser trackers: Explore why large arms offer a competitive alternative to tracker systems for many applications.

Did you know… Cross Company is an ESOP (Employee Stock Ownership Plan). Our ESOP started in 1979 and as of 2006, we are 100% employee-owned! Learn more about our ESOP and how that benefits both team members and our customers.
Did you know... the precision measurement group at Cross was founded in 1939 by our current CEO's grandfather, Jim King. That's a whole lot of calibration!
Did you know... A fingerprint weighs about 50 micrograms. We know, we weighed it! The residue left from a finger can actually make a difference in weight results which is why we wear gloves when we calibrate weights. For reference, a sheet of paper is about 4.5 grams, that’s 4.5 million micrograms.
Did you know… Cross Company has grown significantly since our start in 1954. Over the years we've acquired 26 companies! Today, our five groups have expertise in everything from industrial automation to precision measurement, and industry knowledge going all the way back to 1939.
