Description

Creaform HandyPROBE Next Portable Optical System

The Creaform HandyPROBE Next Portable Optical System is designed for high-precision measurement and control. Its full name is: Portable Optical Coordinate Measuring Machine (CMM).

The system is designed for use in shop floor conditions. It provides high measurement accuracy and dynamic referencing. This allows reliable results to be obtained regardless of environmental conditions and operator experience.

HandyPROBE is equipped with a 2D C-Track sensor that simultaneously tracks the reference model and the probe. The instrument combines advanced photogrammetry and powerful digital image processing.

The system allows high-precision measurements of object geometry in various industries. Unlike traditional stationary CMMs, the HandyPROBE does not require a fixed installation or strict environmental control. Thanks to the wireless measurement system, the device provides flexibility and ease of use.

HandyPROBE™ Application

Quality Control and Geometry Verification

HandyPROBE is used to measure the dimensions, shape and manufacturing accuracy of parts, allowing:

• Compare real objects with their 3D models (CAD)
• Assess product compliance with specified tolerances
• Identify deviations and defects in geometry

Reverse Engineering

When it is necessary to reproduce complex parts and components, HandyPROBE helps to obtain accurate coordinate data, which is then used to create digital 3D models.

Production Control

Includes measuring and checking components directly in the production shop, without the need to transport parts to a measurement laboratory. This is especially useful in the automotive, aviation and machine-building industries.

Alignment and Calibration of Large Parts

HandyPROBE allows you to accurately align and position components, which is important when assembling complex structures, such as:

• Car bodies
• Aviation and space parts
• Industrial machines and mechanisms

Assembly Control and Part Fitting

The scanner helps to identify differences between design data and actual part dimensions, which is especially useful when assembling and joining complex components.

Creaform Metrology Suite™ Software

HandyPROBE™ comes with Creaform Metrology Suite™ software, which includes the following modules:

Inspection:

• Module for checking parts and creating reports.
• Support for various inspection workflows.
• Compliance with GD&T requirements.

Dynamic Tracking:

• Module for tracking the position and orientation of objects in 3D space.
• Control of displacements, management of assembly processes and measurement of deformations.
• Ideal for robot calibration and control.
• You can also add the Metrascan 3D module to expand 3D scanning capabilities.

HandyPROBE™ is a reliable and easy-to-use solution for quality control in shop floor conditions. The system provides high measurement accuracy, portability and flexibility, making it an ideal choice for a wide range of applications.
