Issues encountered when measuring with conventional methodsMeasurements Are Time-Consuming
With the WM SeriesGet Incredible Measurement Speeds
1Measurement Ranges
Conventional Methods
- ● Two to three operators are required to measure the machine main unit and parts.
- ● They don't reach all the areas desired for measurement.
WM Series
- ● With the WM’s broad range, measurements can be taken with just a single operator.
- ● With the WM’s broad range, there are very few measurement blind spots.
2Everything at Your Fingertips to Get It All Done
Conventional Models
- ● Users have to take notes themselves because measurement results cannot be saved on the spot.
- ● Operators need to go back and forth to the PC during scans to find out which points have been measured.
WM Series
- ● Results can be checked and saved on the spot with the WM's built-in touch screen.
- ● Scan status can be checked on the spot.
3Data Management
Conventional Models
- ● Difficult to compare and check measurement results with drawings.
- ● Difficult to compile results into an inspection report.
WM Series
- ● With the WM, there's no need to do transcription work for measurement results.
- ● It automatically generates inspection reports with images attached.
4Transporting to Work Site
Conventional Models
- ● A variety of equipment needs to be brought to the work site.
- ● Conventional measurement machine cases are big and difficult to carry.
WM Series
- ● No need to bring a whole array of equipment to the work site because the WM can perform all types of measurements.
- ● With its dedicated suitcase-sized case, it can easily be carried by a single person.
5Ease of Operation
Conventional Models
- ● Variations occur in measurement values.
- ● Specialized knowledge is needed to effectively use conventional models.
WM Series
- ● Measurement can be performed easily without any variations occurring in the measured values.
- ● The WM can be operated in three easy steps, so anyone can start using it immediately.
6Pre-Measurement Preparations and Post-Measurement Processing
Conventional Models
- ● Leveling is difficult.
- ● There are times when stickers may need to be applied or removed before and after measurements.
- ● Some products require the use of a spray.
WM Series
- ● With the WM, installation takes two minutes. Leveling isn't necessary with a measuring system, so measurements can be started immediately.
- ● Just place the camera on the tripod.
- ● No need to prepare with stickers or sprays.
From inspecting parts upon their receipt to on-site installation and maintenance, all processes can be done with a single WM device.
No need to gather a whole array of equipment.
Use just one device to easily measure everything.
