Portable CMM Machines & Services

Ultimate Versatility


Our precision inspection services aren't limited by location.  With our portable CMM, we bring an arsenal of high-quality measurement capabilities to you with one powerful, versatile device. Our system includes both touch probe and laser scanning options, making it ideal for parts with complex or delicate surfaces. Whether you're inspecting castings, welded assemblies, or machined parts, we deliver full 3D scanning without moving components offsite.

No matter the position or condition of your part or process, we offer fully-verifiable scanning system accuracy anywhere you need it. Equipped with CAM2 and PolyWorks software, our portable CMM integrates directly with your CAD models and can generate GD&T reports, point cloud data, and deviation color maps, streamlining inspection and documentation in harsh industrial environments.


Certified Capability


Our portable CMM is ISO 10360-12 certified, meeting the latest and highest standards of performance. It's also capable of gathering robust dimensional data that would take multiple costly handheld devices to acquire. With HAK, you can measure virtually anything, whether you are verifying the latest engineering design styles or troubleshooting a specific point in the manufacturing process.

We support a wide range of industries—aerospace, oil & gas, medical, and heavy equipment manufacturing—with dimensional data collection that would require multiple traditional tools to match. Our inspection process includes detailed CAD-to-part comparison, reverse engineering, and SPC-compatible reports, giving you a comprehensive view of every measurement.

Portable CMM Inspection FAQs

How does a portable CMM work?

A portable CMM—like our ROMER arm—uses an articulated set of joints with rotary encoders. It records 3D coordinates when the probe contacts a surface ("contact measurement") or when scanning with a laser; then it relays that data for dimensional analysis.

What types of measurements and applications is it used for?

This technology is ideal for:
  • Quality inspection and CAD-to-part comparison
  • Reverse engineering complex or worn parts
  • First article inspection (FAI), fixture and tooling alignment, in-process checks

How does a portable CMM compare to fixed CMMs and other scanners?

  • Portable CMMs are less expensive, more flexible (reach 1--3.5m+), and easy to use on the shop floor
  • Unlike traditional gantry CMMs, they operate in varied environments without controlled rooms
  • Compared to structured-light/laser scanners, portable CMMs are fast and precise for specific, dimensional-point inspections—but less suitable for capturing millions of data points or delicate surfaces

How often should the CMM be calibrated or re-certified?

While factory calibration isn't needed daily, for ISO-standard protocols it's advisable to have annual recertification. This ensures consistent accuracy and supports traceability.

Do I need specialized software?

Our service includes delivering data compatible with leading inspection modules—such as PCDMIS, Geomagic Control X, PolyWorks—or direct export of 3D point clouds, GD&T reports, CAD overlays, and other formats based on your workflow.

What factors should I consider when choosing portable CMM services?

  • Accuracy requirement — match the inspection tolerance needed.
  • Part size/working volume — ours supports 1--3.5m; larger requirements are handled by specialists.
  • Measurement goals — contact probing is ideal for precise features; laser scanning works better for full-surface or free-form geometry.
