HandyPROBE NEXT+
The Next Generation of Handheld Optical Coordinate Measuring Machines (CMMs)
The HandyPROBE Next portable CMM provides excellent measurement accuracy while being resistant to any environmental instabilities. Without a rigid measurement setup, this portable CCM solution outperforms traditional CMMs on the shop floor.
For Fast, Accurate and Portable CMM Inspection in Any Environment
The HandyPROBE Next is a new generation of CMM inspection equipment designed to be portable and versatile. With this handheld metrology tool, you can capture measurement data that is insensitive to the instabilities of any environment. Free of any rigid or extensive setup, the HandyPROBE portable CMM can be moved at any time wherever it is needed and produces high-quality inspection data.
Features to PROBE
HandyPROBE Next+.
Metrology-grade Accuracy
