The larger workstation offers a small storage area for accessories, whilst the compact cabinet is mobile and ideal for restricted working areas. Both variants can be supplied as a cableless measuring system (infrared).

From the point of view of measuring technology, there is only a difference in the handling and equipping of the system.

For both designs, the four measuring sensors are stored in integrated inserts with rechargeable battery charging points.

When automatically charged over night, the measuring sensor batteries provide enough power for 10 hours of continuous use.
