Portable Coordinate Measuring Machine

HandyPROBE™

The HandyPROBE™

Meet the HandyPROBE™ - whos only restriction is your own arm!

The HandyPROBE™ line-up is a portable optical CMM specifically designed for use on the shop floor. Thanks to its metrology-grade accuracy and dynamic referencing capabilities, the HandyPROBE™ delivers unmatched accuracy regardless of the measurement setup, instabilities of the environment and user experience level.

Without the requirements of a rigid measurement setup, the complete measuring system—the part, optical tracker, and wireless probe—can all be moved freely at any time during the measurement sequence.

Let's talk Mobility!

Because there is no physical link between the probe and system, the HandyPROBE™ can easily be brought to wherever the part is for maximum adaptability.

• Arm-free system
• Tackle any inspection, anywhere, with ease thanks to an arm-free system that offers unprecedented freedom of movement.
• Measure objects of any size or geometry with confidence.
• Take it anywhere - yes anywhere as the whole systems fits into a single, portable carrying case for easy travelling to remote production sites.

Let's talk simplicity!

Quality control teams rely on the HandyPROBE™’s fast setup time and ease of use to quickly carry out mission-critical inspections and accelerate production.

• No rigid setup required
• The system can be moved freely in a larger and extendable measurement volume and mitigates conventional leapfrog that occurs with traditional portable CMMs.
• Automatic alignments
• Optical reflectors allow for repetitive inspections without bogging down processes with realignment.
• The ergonomic wireless probe and multi-function buttons make for faster onboarding and easier interaction with the system.
• Optional 3D scanning capabilities by adding the MetraSCAN 3D
