(Metronor AS: Nesbru, Norway) --  At the Control 2010 fair in Stuttgart, Germany, Metronor presents the new SOLOspin, the first camera-based coordinate measurement system with a 360° field of view, bringing the productivity and user-friendliness of armless hand-held probing to applications in enclosed areas ranging from yacht, aircraft, and custom-vehicle interiors to documenting and installing piping and tubing in chemical and oil industries at costs substantially lower than previous systems—in terms of initial investment and efficiency in use.

The patent-pending SOLOspin system uses Metronor’s hand-held probe in combination with a camera that can be freely rotated to provide an unlimited field of view. As the camera rotates, the system’s reference is also rotated automatically, providing for seamless measuring in any direction.
