PORTABLE COORDINATE MEASUREMENT SYSTEMS PRODUCT BROCHURE VERSION 20.1

All Metronor technology is built on in-house research and development within electro-optics and photogrammetry -the science of precisely determining the location of items based on images.

OUR TECHNOLOGY FOR PORTABLE PRECISION METRONOR SYSTEMS MEASURE WITH LIGHT • One or more cameras observe a known pattern of light sources on the handheld probe or scanner, and determine its' position and orientation • Simple - in principle and in use. The very complex models and mathematics needed to achieve accuracy are handled by the computer - completely transparent to the user METRONOR SYSTEMS COVER IT ALL • The cameras only need to see the light sources. The probe tip or the scan area can be hidden from view, making precise deep probing possible and scanning real-life objects simple •...

Metronor probing and scanning systems offer more flexibility and adaptability than any other portabLe system. Reconfigure or expand at any time as necessary, securing your initial investment and overcoming new chaLLenges - different measurement voLumes, accuracy requirements, probing abiLities or throughput. Go from probing to scanning whiLst staying truLy portabLe, adding surface reverse engineering to an aLready broad measurement spectrum. Or add probing to your scanning solution, giving it maximum versatility. UPGRADES YOUR INVESTMENT ADAPTS TO NEW REQUIREMENTS As your company evolves...

ADD SCANNING CAPABILITY TO YOUR PROBING SYSTEM - ANYTIME Scanning capability can easily be added to SOLO and DUO Metronor probing systems. The scanner works together with the system camera or cameras in a similar way to the Lightpen, but returns several hundred thousand points for each measurement. This makes it a suitable tool for tasks such as part inspection, capturing the precise shape of a clay model or capturing the as-built geometry of a prototype. If there are recessed areas that are difficult to scan, they can be filled in with measurements using the Lightpen, making it the most...

The products in the compLete Metronor portfoLio are divided into 3 generic groups: cLose-range probing systems, sticker-free scanning systems and Large voLume combined systems. Choose the group that fits your company and task the best and grow your system as the needs arise. COMMON FEATURES: • Cost-efficient to buy, easy to • learn, efficient in use, simple to re-configure - excellent ROI Electro-optical principle without mechanical links ensures life-long accuracy - and easy and convenient operation • Complete measurement solutions including probes, computer, software and transportation...

PROBING SYSTEMS EXTENSIONS EXTEND YOUR SYSTEM CAPABILITIES Extend your Metronor system within the same product Line/famiLy. System extensions bring you added capability, be it a Larger field of view or the ability to muLti-task with a metrology system. The component-based approach makes it possible to grow your technology instead of re-investing into completely new solutions. METRONOR SOLO TWIN This SOLO extension can be described as a system that uses two cameras to double the field-of-view. This enables the cameras to be placed closer to the measurement object, thereby increasing...

CLOSE-RANGE PROBING SYSTEMS THE METRONOR SOLUTION TO THE GENERIC ARTICULATED ARM Metronor One and Two are optimized for cLose-range measurements of smaLL to medium-size objects up to 2.5 meters. Easier and Less tiring to operate than articuLated arms, they offer superior probing capabilities and have no need for an anchored mount or pedestal. The accuracy of the newly released Metronor Two is superior to other dose-range portable systems and provides entirely new opportunities. For example, Metronor Two makes audits at suppliers' sites easy aLso when very high measurement precision is...

SCANNING SYSTEMS A COMPLETE, PORTABLE 3D METROLOGY SOLUTION TrackScan can capture millions of high-precision surface points in a few seconds. The system camera or cameras track the active targets on the handheld scanner, continuously determining the position and orientation of the scanner. This way, all scan data is automatically captured in the same coordinate system, with no need for stickers or other preparation of the object to be measured. TrackScan is easy to learn and efficient to use, and covers a wide range of measurement volumes. METRONOR SOLO TRACKSCAN Immediate scanning – simply...

OPTIONS METRONOR PORTABLE CMMs All Metronor systems are complete, turn-key solutions. For special applications, additional options are available. Some of these include: Metronor DUO is unique in measuring many points simultaneously. The LED application kit enables a wide range of unique benefits such as vibration stability control, float mode, repeatability studies, deformation and alignment. Lightpens are available in various sizes, thereby allowing optimal operator ease of use, maximum distances or probing deep and hidden features. The Lightpens are made from stable carbon fiber and have...
