Metris iSpace Creates Large-scale Metrology Workspace

Guarantees robust and reliable iSpace operation.

by DE Editors | Published April 30, 2008

Metris (Stuttgart, Germany) launched iSpace, which activates a large-scale metrology workspace in which objects can be measured and tracked accurately. Predefined configuration packages allow iSpace systems to be easily and affordably installed for accurate and continuous system monitoring, states the release.

Metris iSpace is based on proven Metris iGPS, a global positioning technology that turns workspaces into scalable metrology workvolumes using a network of iGPS transmitters. These laser-based transmitters create a measurement field that is extendable by adding more iGPS devices. The innovative network concept of this large-scale metrology solution guarantees uniform accuracy throughout the entire workspace. iGPS serves multiple concurrent users, and offers the ability to measure and track multiple objects simultaneously.

Metris iSpace now bundles iGPS technology into seven off-the-shelf configurations with measurement volumes ranging from 400 to 1200 square meters, available in different classes to suit the accuracy requirements of the customer.

iSpace, typically deployed in metrology applications to accurately position measurement devices, is designed for quick setup, making it easily deployable to different workspaces. The embedded auto-calibration function provides accurate and continuous system monitoring, guaranteeing robust and reliable iSpace operation.
