HandyPROBE
Technical specifications
The HandyPROBE portable CMM provides measurement accuracy that is insensitive to the instabilities of any environment. Free of any rigid measurement setup, the optical CMM outperforms traditional portable CMMs on the shop floor. The part, C-Track optical tracker and wireless probe can be moved at any time during the measurement sequence and generate the same high-quality data.
This metrology inspection solution helps manufacturing companies eliminate inefficiencies in the manufacturing process and mitigates quality control issues.

(1) HandyPROBE Next and HandyPROBE Next|Elite performance assessment (ISO 17025 accredited) is based on partial procedure per ISO 10360-12 standard: Probing size error (6.2) and Length error (6.4). Performance is assessed on traceable sphere and length artefacts.
(2) The volumetric accuracy of the system when using a MaxSHOT 3D cannot be superior to the default accuracy for a given model.
