The giveaway closes on August 31, 2026. One winner will receive a premium YETI cooler. The winner will be selected at random from all eligible entries.

Key learnings from the report:

Bring measurement to the part. 

The Absolute Arm is rated to IP54 and operates from 5 to 45°C, the first portable measuring arm to carry that rating, so it works inside the production cell rather than a separate inspection room.

Match the instrument to the geometry. 

Integrated scan-and-probe arms for datum-defined parts, handheld scanners for hard-to-reach and damage geometry, and reflector-free scanning with the Leica Absolute Tracker ATS800 for assemblies up to 40 metres across.

Scale precision to platform size. 

The Leica Absolute Tracker AT500 measures structures up to 320 metres in diameter with 10-micron positional accuracy, IP54 protection and a minus 15 to plus 50°C range, deploying straight into the shipyard or dry dock.

Cut MRO turnaround from days to hours. 

In-situ tracker measurement with real-time temperature compensation replaces a 5 to 10 day remove, transport and return cycle with a 4 to 6 hour in-place result.

Qualify faster. 

Every Absolute Arm ships with ISO 10360-12 and ISO 10360-8 Annex D certification as standard, backed by 16 ISO/IEC 17025-accredited calibration laboratories across Europe and AS9102-ready reporting from the measurement software.
