API vPROBE

FEATURES AND BENEFITS

PROBE COMPLEX PARTS

Hand-held, light-weight, wireless tactile probe with easy-hold grip stylus allows for inspection of intricate features & cavities for large, complex parts.

TRUE PORTABILITY

The vProbe can perform extended coordinate measurement functions outside the line of site of a laser tracker.

REAL-TIME FEEDBACK

The vProbe provides instantaneous feedback when a coordinate is measured. This allows for quick and convenient measuring and inspection.

3D POINTS UNCERTAINTY (3DU)

3DU is the deviation between a length measured with the vPROBETM (in a static orientation) its nominal value.**

SPATIAL LENGTH UNCERTAINTY (SLU)

SLU is the deviation between a length measured with the vPROBETM (in a static orientation) its nominal value.**

SPATIAL RADIUS UNCERTAINTY (RU)

RU is the deviation between a measured sphere’s radius and its nominal value. Where the reference sphere has a radius between 10mm and 50mm**

MEASUREMENT UNIT SPECIFICATION

3DU, SLU, and RU are further specified as a function of the distance between the laser tracker and the measured surface.

*These values represent the Maximum Permissible Error(MPE) between a verified Scale Bar and the expected performance of the instrument.

*Longer Stylus lengths available – accuracy dependent on length.

**Nominal Values are established by the Laser Tracker.
