The HandyPROBE™ lineup is a portable optical CMM purpose-built for real-world shop floor inspection. Developed by Creaform, it delivers metrology-grade accuracy with dynamic referencing that maintains precision regardless of environmental instability, part movement, or operator experience.
Because it requires no rigid setup, the entire measurement system—the part, optical tracker, and wireless probe—can move freely throughout the inspection process without compromising results. This flexibility makes the HandyPROBE ideal for measuring critical geometrical features on parts of any size, directly in production environments where speed, accuracy, and adaptability matter most.
Designed as a portable optical CMM system that can be used directly on the shop floor where vibration, part movement, and environmental instability occur without compromising measurement quality. Thanks to its dynamic referencing and optical tracking, it delivers metrology-grade, repeatable 3D measurements on large and complex parts in production settings, with setup typically faster and less rigid than traditional CMMs—making it suitable for quality control, first-article inspection, and process validation right where the work happens.
Instead of being limited by arm reach and joint articulation, the HandyPROBE uses optical tracking and a lightweight handheld wireless probe. The operator can move freely around large or complex parts without repositioning equipment. This makes it faster and more flexible on the shop floor, especially in tight or crowded environments, while still delivering metrology-grade accuracy.
