Metronor is a privately held, ISO 9001-certified high-technology company headquartered just outside Oslo, Norway. We have subsidiaries in Wixom (MI, USA) and Munich (Germany), and a global network of partners and customers. Based on in-house innovation and research, we have since 1989 developed a range of electro-optical portable coordinate measuring systems that have become very popular among leading manufacturers worldwide. Metronor provides state-of-the-art Dimensional Management Solutions for complex assembly programs. Main products include Portable CMMs and Boresight systems.
Measuring Tools
Metronor Solo
Single camera electro-optical portable
coordinate measuring system
Metronor SOLO is a portable solution that offers full CMM 3D measurement capability, including comparison of any geometry to CAD data using, just a single camera and a handheld probe.
Ideally suited where fast set-up, ease of use and high portability is critical, Metronor SOLO offers a superior working volume and can be operated through a wireless connection – without cumbersome arms to balance or cables to untangle.
Highly affordable, SOLO provides excellent return on investment in industries as diverse as automotive, forging, and casting, wind turbines, energy and aerospace – and is especially highly valued in applications involving piping such as shipbuilding, oil and gas, nuclear energy and chemical processing industries.
While highly capable on its own, Metronor SOLO is also a very flexible investment and a wide range of options and upgrade paths are offered, permitting SOLO to grow along with future requirements or needs.
Applications Include:
- Prototyping
- Tool and die inspection
- Tube & pipe measurement
- In-process inspection
- On-machine inspection
- Fixture inspection
- As built documentation
- Large assembly measurement
- Assembly alignment
- Excess material verification in casting/forging
- On-machine alignment of parts for milling/ machining
- Tool building
- Reverse engineering
Shipyard Solution
A piping solution created for measuring
in limited accessibility/confined spaces
We have created the perfect solution for workers in the shipbuilding business. It is designed for use in narrow, and not easily accessible spaces, where not even a stable floor might be available.
The special packaging makes using the system safe and simple – the system comes pre-connected and the integrated setup allows the user to start measuring within minutes. Simply open the case, set up and connect the camera and start measuring. The lightweight transport case can be carried as a backpack, as well as rolled.
The system allows you to measure flanges and pipes quickly and easily. The measured data can be seamlessly transferred to the workshop as a CAD file or an automatically generated measurement report.
It is possible to reproduce any circular flange in under one minute with as little as 12 measurement points, but of course, other
flange types can also be digitized.
As for pipe measurements, draw a virtual pipe in free space avoiding obstacles as needed, to generate a CAD template in 3D that is accurate to the tenth of a millimeter. Alternatively, measure an existing pipe and send the data directly to a bending machine or export a technical drawing for the shop floor.
