Case Study: Solaris achieves faster, more reliable tram quality control with Hexagon's ROMER Absolute Arm

The ROMER Absolute Arm measuring device ensures the highest quality of modern trams

Solaris, a major Polish manufacturer of buses and trams, required a quality control solution to meet high railway engineering standards for its new tram production. To ensure the reliability of large components, Solaris turned to vendor Hexagon and implemented the ROMER Absolute Arm portable measuring machine.

Hexagon's solution, the 4.5-metre ROMER Absolute Arm, was deployed directly on the shop floor. It halved measurement time and made previously impossible measurements feasible, which was critical for Solaris's production rate of one new tram per week. The vendor's technology provided speed through absolute encoders and comfort via a patented counterbalance system, guaranteeing the quality of the final products.
