HandyPROBE

The HandyPROBE system generates high-accuracy measurements (accuracy of up to 22 µm) on the shop floor. The HandyPROBE portable CMM is currently used on the production lines of major players from the automotive, aerospace and manufacturing industries.

• Insensitive to changes in the environment (vibrations, part displacement, set-up or CMM instability have no impact)
• Highly efficient at measuring parts that can't be moved to a granite or cast iron table
• Ideal for geometric and surface quality control
• If offers scanning capabilities when paired with a MetraSCAN 3D scanner
• Part size range : 1-3 meters, any type of materials
• Extendable measurement range up to 10 m
• Truly portable and wireless

TRUaccuracyTM

Highly-accurate measurements: up to 22 µm accuracy, regardless of the measurement environment (instability, vibrations, thermal variation, etc.) or operator skills.

Automatic alignment: alignment is automatically done using optical reflectors; it allows probing of many identical parts in rapid succession.

Greater measurement volume: compared to other portable CMM systems, the HandyPROBE offers a greater basic measurement volume.

Extendable measurement volume: The volume can be easily and dynamically extended with no loss in accuracy - and without any conventional leapfrog or additional alignment set-up involved. No need for the operator to re-align the data after moving the part or the C-Track, which leads in less set-ups and error accumulation.

Excellent ROI: yields considerable productivity and money gains. Measurement errors can be reduced by up to 75%, and control time by a factor of 10.

TRUportabilityTM

Truly portable device: the portability of the HandyPROBE makes it possible to inspect or reverse engineer parts, sub-units or complex assemblies with unequalled precision, mobility and flexibility - no matter where (lab, factory, off-site, etc.).

Lightweight: weighing about 1 lb., it can be used during extended periods of time without causing musculo-skeletal problems.

TRUsimplicityTM

Faster and easier measurement: handheld, armless device and wireless data transmission process that allow the user to move freely around the part.

User friendly: easy to learn, intuitive system with a very short learning curve - you can keep using the same metrology software and probing techniques! 5-minute installation. Makes it possible to measure parts in production without having to align every part.

The C-Track dual-camera sensors

The C-Track dual-camera sensors are fitted with high quality optics and special lighting, enabling them to measure all reflectors within their operating space. In addition to tracking the whole system's reference model, the C-Track ensure the exact localization of the HandyPROBE, perform continuous image acquisition and transmission, lighting of reflectors, management of the exchanges with the computer and storage of the sensor parameters.

C-Link

When it is networked with 2 to 4 C-Tracks, the HandyPROBE gives access to the C-Link functionality, which drastically increases the measurement speed and ease-of-use of the system.
