Piping Applications

Design Pipe Connections using AR and Guided Tracking

What is guided tracking? How does AR work in piping? Comprehensive Software so that no experience is required. The Augmented Reality function gives you an overview of the complete project. Use it to make sure everything is correct before investing in production time or material on pipes that must be scrapped.

How to Create a Pipe from End Conditions

This system combination can be carried as a backpack, is battery-powered, and comes with a specially designed long probe to reach hidden features. Although it was initially developed for use in shipyards, where mobile measurements are taken to an extreme, this plug-and-play solution has become popular with service companies and generally all customers that travel a lot with their Metronor product.

A simple process to easily design pipes

See how easy it is to design pipes with our systems using TeZetCAD. We create a perfectly fitting new pipe between its connection points, by tracing its intended center line through the air with the Metronor Lightpen. Any number of pipes or pipe bundles can be created in the same work session, so the virtual pipes can be checked for collision.

This is why Metronor systems offer the best ROI

All Metronor systems can be upgraded within the same product line without much effort, since they are based on the same core technology – one or more cameras tracking an LED pattern. This way, you never lose the initial invest, but adapt your existing measurement system to the new measurement task.

Deep Probing and Hard to Reach Points

Metronor’s handheld probing units are called Lightpens and its use
is very intuitive. The carbon-fiber skeleton provides rigidity for accurate measurements. All models are powered by a rechargeable battery that lasts for several hours and can be operated with as many different probe tips as the user wants.

If you’ve never used one, this is how a Metronor Lightpen works and its extra functionalities.
