Product catalog summary
Overview
The HandyPROBE™ is a portable optical Coordinate Measuring Machine (CMM) designed for shop floor use. It offers metrology-grade accuracy and dynamic referencing, ensuring precise measurements regardless of setup quality, environmental conditions, or user experience. The system allows for free movement of parts, optical trackers, and probes during measurement, simplifying the process.

Key Features
  • Accuracy: Utilizes dynamic referencing with optical reflectors to maintain accuracy in shop floor conditions. It adheres to ISO 10360-12 standards and is ISO 17025 accredited.
  • Portability: The arm-free system allows the HandyPROBE to be easily transported to the measurement site, accommodating objects of any size.
  • Simplicity: No rigid setup is required, and the measurement volume is easily extendable without significant accuracy loss.

Technical Specifications
  • Accuracy: HandyPROBE Next - 0.030 mm; HandyPROBE Next|Elite - 0.025 mm.
  • Volumetric Accuracy: Varies with measurement volume and use of MaxSHOT 3D or C-Link, with specific values provided for different configurations.
  • Measurement Rate: 80 measurements per second.
  • Part Size Range: Recommended range is 0.2–6 meters.
  • Software: VXelements.
  • Weight: Probe - 0.5 kg; C-Track - 5.7 kg.
  • Dimensions: Probe - 68 x 157 x 340 mm; C-Track - 1031 x 181 x 148 mm.
  • Operating Conditions: Temperature range of 5–40°C and humidity range of 10–90% (non-condensing).
  • Certifications: EC Compliance, IP50, WEEE.

Design and Usability
  • Features multi-function buttons for easier software interaction.
  • Sturdy design ensures reliability on the shop floor.
  • Smart probe adapter allows for easy, auto-recognition tip changes.
  • Instant measurement capability enhances efficiency.

HandyPROBE - THE PORTABLE CMM FOR THE SHOP FLOOR-1

HandyPROBE " THE PORTABLE CMM FOR THE SHOP FLOOR The HandyPROBE™ line-up is a portable optical CMM specifically designed for use on the shop floor. Due to its metrology-grade accuracy and dynamic referencing capability, the HandyPROBE delivers precise results, regardless of the measurement setup quality, the instabilities of the environment, and the user’s experience level. Since it does not require any rigid measurement setup, the part, optical tracker, or wireless probe can be moved freely at any time during the measurement sequence, adding simplicity to the process. Because its measurement volume is flexible, it can be extended easily and dynamically without significant loss in accuracy, which comes with conventional leapfrog. In addition, the HandyPROBE can measure geometrical entities on parts of any size directly on the production floor. ACCURACY Dynamic referencing: Optical reflectors are used to create a reference system that is “locked” to the part itself, so accuracy is optimized for shop floor conditions. Reliable acceptance test: Because the acceptance test follows the ISO 10360-12 standard and is ISO 17025 accredited, the HandyPROBE delivers accurate results, regardless of the measurement setup quality. PORTABILITY Arm-free system: Because there is no physical link between the probe and the system, the HandyPROBE can be easily brought to wherever the part is. The portable system can also measure objects of any size for maximum versatility. SIMPLICITY No rigid setup required: The part, optical tracker, and wireless probe can all be moved freely at any time during measurement in a wide and easily extendable measurement volume for maximum simplicity.
