Creaform’s HandyProbe CMM becomes 5 kg lighter and more portable

UK distributor Measurement Solutions reports that Creaform's redesigned HandyProbe portable co-ordinate measuring machine is now 5 kg lighter than before.

The arm-free probing and C-Track dual-camera sensor measurement system, which features TruAccuracy technology for 22 micrometre (0.001 in) accuracy and reliability, allows the user total freedom of movement. The C-Track dual-camera sensors are fitted with high quality optics and special lighting that enables them to measure all reflectors within their operating space. In addition to tracking the whole system's reference model, the C-Tracks ensure the exact localisation of the portable HandyProbe, perform continuous image acquisition and transmission, lighting of reflectors, management of the exchanges with the computer and storage of the sensor parameters.
