Terrestrial photogrammetry system NimProbe

mobile3D camera

Overview
The NimProbe system combines the handheld i-Probe with the next-generation i-Tracker in a fully wireless, lightweight design. Built for high-precision measurement of small-to-medium parts, it integrates probing and scanning modes for fixture verification, benchmark marking and dimensional inspection in industrial inspection and smart manufacturing.

Key features

• All-in-one probing and scanning: seamless switch between high-precision probing and large-area 3D scanning; probe and tracker data unified in real time.
• Lightweight and portable: system fits in a single case for transport and rapid on-site setup; mobile measurement station ready in approximately 1 minute.
• High-precision probing: accurate measurement of geometric features such as holes, edges and slots; supports 500 mm probe length for hard-to-reach areas.
• Large-area 3D scanning: tracker functions as a handheld 3D scanner capturing point clouds with speed and precision; suitable for parts up to several meters.
• Extensive measurement range: recommended part size 0.1 m – 6 m; measurement distance per tracker up to 4.2 m.
• Continuous measurement and flexible repositioning: real-time tracking of position and orientation within tracker view; supports cross-station measurement and multi-angle probing with a few markers.
• Flexible connectivity: supports wireless mode for shop-floor use and wired mode for stable performance and data security.
• Operation in industrial conditions: maintains measurement performance with vibration, temperature, humidity and varied lighting; includes occlusion compensation algorithms.
