PUNCH PROBE ABOUT METRONOR A SMALL DEVICE THAT BRINGS GREAT BENEFITS Metronor is a high technology company headquartered just outside Oslo, Norway, with subsidiaries in the US, Germany and China, globally supporting partners and customers. Based on in-house innovation and research, Metronor has since 1989 developed a range of electro-optical portable coordinate measuring systems that have become popular among leading manufacturers worldwide. Metronor’s management system is certified to ISO 9001 and complies with ISO 14001. For more information, please visit our website www.metronor.com A unique way of marking the transformed coordinate system. It enables marking features on objects based on measurement data or CAD comparison – once the required point has been found, push the probe against the object to leave a punch mark. Also if you are a company creating castings or forgings, simply mark the optimal orientation before delivery. This provides full documentation and guarantees that the part can be successfully machined, avoiding shipping scrap, dissatisfied customers and bringing competitive value to your business. Datum marks can be made on the part by simply locating a desired point and then creating a punch mark with our special probe (“virtual scribing”).
