HandyPROBE - The
Arm-Free Portable CMM
The arm-free, portable CMM
HandyPROBE and the C-Track dual camera sensor form a unique duo
that generates high accuracy 3D point measurements and increases
reliability and speed of your measuring process.
Compared to other existing
portable CMM technology, the HandyPROBE portable wireless
CMM gives you total freedom of movement, allowing for
significant increase in productivity.
High Measurement Accuracy
The operator can choose to work in Dynamic
Referential Mode, which allows him to move both the object and
C-Track during the measurement process, with no loss in
accuracy. In workshop conditions, this removes the need for a
stable environment, and enables measurement of hard to reach
features by moving the measuring system without the need to
carry out inaccurate leap-frog manoeuvres. The dynamic
referencing also eliminates the effects of vibrations.
Faster and Easier Measurement
HandyPROBE is a handheld, wirefree, arm-less
measuring system that allows users to move freely around the
part without having to wrestle with a fixed arm or having to
worry about line of sight of a laser tracker. The lightweight
HandyPROBE means the system can be used for long periods of
time. Automatic alignment using passive reflectors provide a
rapid method of aligning parts mounted in fixtures.
Extendable Measuring Volume
Depending on the choice of C-Track sensor, the
HandyPROBE portable CMM has a measuring volume up to almost 15m3.
However, unlike other measuring systems, the measuring volume
can be easily extended using the dynamic referencing capability
of the system, without any need for conventional leap-frog
manoeuvres or additional alignment set-ups. This leads to fewer
measuring errors and improved accuracy.
Truly Portable CMM
The portability of the HandyPROBE is
second-to-none, making it possible to inspect or reverse
engineer parts and assemblies with unequalled speed, precision,
mobility and flexibility. And what's more, the measurements can
be done in situ - no matter where the part is located.
Applications :
 The mobility and accuracy of the HandyPROBE
make it suitable for most traditional CMM, portable arm and
laser tracker applications, such as ;
 |
First-off inspection and
sample analysis (ISIR) |
|
|
Part-to-CAD comparisons
|
|
|
Jig and Tool set-up and
alignment |
|
|
Calibration and adjustment
of fixtures |
|
|
Reverse engineering of
engineering components |
In addition, the HandyPROBE can be
used in conjunction with the HandyScan3D range of handheld laser
scanners, to provide a completely versatile probing and scanning
solution.
Software :
The HandyPROBE is suitable for use
with many different 3D inspection and reverse engineering
software packages. The system has been fully integrated into the
Metrologic Group range of software, providing inspection
solutions for basic workshop applications right through to
highly advanced engineering 3D measurements.
