Portable Coordinate Measuring Machines for Accurate Metrology

As the sole Australian distributor of Tomelleri, Leussink delivers state-of-the-art portable metrology arms, expertly engineered to assess tolerances for any part in your manufacturing environment — eliminating the need to transport parts to a separate metrology lab. By bringing measurement to the point of production, workshops can streamline workflows, reduce handling, and significantly shorten project turnaround times. This flexibility is especially valuable for large components, shop-floor inspection, and projects in off-site or remote locations where traditional lab-based metrology isn’t practical.

What is a Portable Measuring Arm?

Portable coordinate measuring arms (CMMs) are handheld measurement tools that accurately measure parts and components. Using a high-precision probe, the portable measurement arm detects and records discrete points on the object’s surface before digitising and transferring to an integrated CAD system. This advanced metrology software then develops an exact 3D drawing of the part to enable fast, accurate measurements.

Designed for effortless transportation, a portable CMM arm delivers precision measurement solutions wherever you need them. Unlike traditional CMMs that require a stationary set-up and specific lab environments, our portable measuring arms offer the flexibility of use in workshops across Australia without sacrificing efficacy.

Types of Portable CMMs at Leussink Australia

Portable CMMs are commonly available in 6-axis or 7-axis configurations, depending on your workflow needs.

6-Axis Measuring Arms

A 6-axis portable measuring arm is designed for high-precision touch probing and dimensional inspection. It’s ideal for workshops that need fast, accurate verification of features such as holes, planes, edges, and GD&T characteristics, directly on the shop floor.

7-Axis Measuring Arms

A 7-axis portable CMM adds an extra rotational axis, improving access to complex features and enabling true scanning workflows. This additional freedom of movement allows the arm to maintain optimal orientation around intricate geometries and confined spaces.

Tomelleri Portable Measuring Arms

The Tomelleri Explorer is purpose-built for large-scale metrology, making it ideal for inspecting oversized components and complex assemblies on-site. Designed for heavy fabrication, infrastructure, and industrial manufacturing, it delivers precision where fixed CMMs are impractical.

Key capabilities include:

  • 5 to 9 metres in diameter, available in 6-axis and 7-axis configurations
  • Electro-magnetic brake on the second axis, allowing the arm to be locked at the required height for stable, fatigue-free operation
  • Ergonomic design to improve reach, control, and operator comfort during extended use
  • High-precision sensors that maintain accuracy across real-world workshop environments

Tomelleri Space Plus for reverse engineering

The Tomelleri SPACE Plus is a multi-purpose portable measuring arm designed for high-accuracy inspection, point cloud capture, and reverse engineering. Its flexibility makes it an ideal solution for workshops that need a single metrology system to support both dimensional inspection and advanced surface measurement.

  • The most accurate portable arm of its kind, configurable with a diameter of 1.8 up to 4 metres and 6 or 7 rotation axes.
  • The counter-balance system with a double spring provides precision, lightweight, and easy handling characteristics.
  • When used in combination with a scanner for point cloud inspection or reverse engineering, it has a 7-axes configuration.
  • Automatically recognises when taken from its safe position, instantly unlocking its brake system and re-locking it when put back.

Tomelleri Mercury compact portable measuring arm

The Tomelleri SPACE Plus is a multi-purpose portable measuring arm designed for high-accuracy inspection, point cloud capture, and reverse engineering. Its flexibility makes it an ideal solution for workshops that need a single metrology system to support both dimensional inspection and advanced surface measurement.

  • Available in both 1.3-metre and 1.8-metre models.
  • The counterbalance system means a user doesn’t need to affix the arm to a table surface. Place it on a sturdy tabletop or solid interface, like a steel or aluminium base, with three support points, and it is ready for use.
  • Works seamlessly with leading metrology software platforms, including Aberlink and the Geomagic software suite.
  • Thermally compensated, meaning it can maintain high accuracy regardless of temperature change throughout the day.
