(Metris: Leuven, Belgium) -- At Westec 2009 in Los Angeles (US), Metris launched the new 7-axis MCA v2.5 range of articulated arms with a spherical measurement envelope of between 8 and 12 feet (2.4 and 3.6 m) diameter. Battery operation and wireless data communication enable users to quickly set up the portable system and efficiently utilize it at any location. The MCA is part of an integrated solution that allows handheld inspection jobs to be tackled faster by combining top-class laser scanners and flexible touch probing.

Driven by a growing market demand for handheld scanning solutions, articulated measuring arms are increasingly equipped with laser scanners to realize a digital inspection process. The concept of digitizing samples up-front and running inspection on the digital copies of the samples offers distinct flexibility and automation benefits. Powerful handheld Metris solutions— combining an MCA with a digital ModelMaker laser scanner—provide a broader application scope, better ergonomics, and unparalleled productivity.
