Updated vProbe sensor from API offers production floor CMM measurements

The API vProbe tactile measuring sensor provides the ability to perform CMM-style measurements directly on the production floor. Integrated with the company’s Radian Laser Tracker series, the sensor enhances its measuring capabilities and functionalities.

The wireless, hand-held, lightweight tactile probe has an easy-hold grip that allows users to perform extended coordinate measuring functions by inspecting intricate internal and external features or part characteristics, providing fast and accurate dimensional measurements, the company states.

The sensor’s RFID probe stylus recognition feature eliminates the need to select the probe stylus manually, ultimately removing potential for error. Additionally, Smart Buttons help minimize trips to the computer to select common functions that are integrated in the probe.
