Easy to use for anyone, anywhere
1Easy single-person operation
With a measurement range of up to 25 m 82.0' using the handheld probe, single-person measurement is possible for various large parts, assemblies, and equipment.
2Dimensional and shape measurement
Choose from two probe types for measuring holes and other dimensional features as well as curved surfaces and complex shapes or comparing against CAD data.
3On-site measurement
Easily measure anything, anywhere in a wide variety of locations.
Problems with conventional measuring instruments and scannersScanning takes too long
Solutions with the WM SeriesUnparalleled scanning speed
1Measurement range
Conventional systems
- • The limited range of motion makes reaching desired locations difficult.
- • The measurement range is insufficient.
- • Application of stickers is necessary before and after work when stitching measurements together.
WM Series
- • Large target measurements can be measured at once.
- • Measurement is possible over a wide area of up to 25 m (82.0') using the handheld probe.
- • Two probes to choose from with a maximum measurement range of 25 m (82.0') or 10 m (32.8').
2Product compatibility
Conventional systems
- • Glossy products are difficult to scan.
- • Black products are difficult to scan.
WM Series
- • Glossy and black products can be easily scanned thanks to the industry’s first violet laser.
3Pre- and post-measurement preparation
Conventional systems
- • Sticker application is necessary before and after work.
- • Some products have to be sprayed before measurement.
WM Series
- • Installation takes just 2 minutes for fast measurement start.
- • Simple setup just by placing the camera on the tripod.
- • Compatibility with a wide range of products eliminates the need for pre- and post-measurement preparation such as applying stickers or spraying products.
4Repeated movements during scanning
Conventional systems
- • Scanning requires checking the PC screen to see how many points have been acquired, resulting in repeated travel between the PC and product.
WM Series
- • The probe monitor makes it possible to check scan results on the spot.
- • Everything from starting to meshing scans can be done from the probe.
