Prodim's
3D Digital Measuring Device
Three dimensional objects normally require excessive time to measure
precisely. Similarly it is almost impossible to measure complicated
and irregular shaped objects without mistakes. Few companies can afford
this waste of time and money. Prodim announces a revolutionary new product
which can make digital measurements quickly and very accurately.
The
ultramodern Proliner(r) takes a most of the work out of difficult measurements.
This mobile measuring device records the measuring points very precisely
and then saves the collected information digitally. Since the Proliner(r)
can be easily connected to the common CAD-systems, it is possible to
get accurate drawings in just a couple of minutes.
The advanced Proliner(r) has extensively proven itself in practice.
Numerous companies, including well established glass companies, daily
save time and money thanks to this mobile measuring machine. The Proliner(r)
can be perfectly used for measuring 3D ship windows, bent glass windows,
complex glass shaped windows, glass-in-lead, and other shapes for which
you would normally require traditional templates.
The Proliner(r) is capable of precise measurements of straight, curved,
or very complex shapes. It doesn't matter whether the object is in a
horizontal, vertical or slanting position. It is also possible to measure
a combination of these positions at once. In just a couple of seconds,
the special pointer marks the relevant points in order to register the
outlines of the object. All the measuring data will automatically be
registered digitally. Measurements up to 10 meters can be made at one
time and larger measurements can be made by combining drawings in a
simple "leap frog" process.
Thanks to a direct link to common CAD-systems, measured outlines can
be quickly translated to a scale drawing; what's more, the Proliner(r)
can be connected to CNC production machines. This makes separated programming
unnecessary and results in shortened run time.
The Proliner(r) is solidly constructed to withstand actual "in
the field" working conditions. The Proliner(r) 3D can be used in
horizontal and vertical positions plus it can rest at any angle. The
touch screen also has contrast regulation to provide a razor sharp display.
The device is compact, only 10 kilos, has a rechargeable battery, and
can be taken anywhere. Starting up the Proliner(r) requires zero calibration
and set up time, so measuring can be started immediately.Two measuring
pens have been developed for the Proliner(r):
-Pointer
This pen is meant for measuring internal outlines (interior), like door
frames and glass openings.
-Scanner
This pen is meant for measuring exteriors like wooden templates, vellums
and kitchen sinks.
Besides that, Prodim has developed some extra add-ons, and accessories.
A great deal can be saved with the Proliner(r):
Time:
• Loading and unloading of templating tools plus materials on the
job site
• The making of physical templates which can take hours, is now
a thing of the past
• Exact templates along with accurate measurements are completed
in a matter of minutes
• You immediately have a digital CAD drawing which is simply downloaded
into a laptop or desktop computer in just a few seconds.
• Because of shortened process time, projects can efficiently be
completed at a much quicker pace
Material:
• No need for template materials and tools
Manpower:
• Only one person is needed for accurate templates
Savings:
• More jobs can be templated per day with one person
• Traveling to job sites using a small vehicle will reduce fuel
costs
• Precise drawings produced by the Proliner(r) result in precise
cutting of your normal, double or hard glass and therefore eliminating
the high cost of wasted material
Other advantages of the Proliner(r):
• The production will be simplified because the drawing from the
Proliner(r) can be connected to your CNC machine immediately after a
short revision in almost any CAD program
• From the Proliner(r) to a CAD program you can produce an exact
plot on mylar (plastic) or vinyl which can be used for cutting material
cost effectively
About Prodim International
In 1995 two Dutch entrepreneurs developed a digital measuring device
to measure 2-dimensionally. Later on this product was developed to a
3-dimensional measuring device. The company was primarily active in
the Dutch market. After a period of time the company elected to become
truly international and in 2001 a new life was breathed into the equipment
under the name of Prodim International BV. Great attention was paid
to developing the product, and perfecting the three dimensional concept.
Today we are at the peak of technology in this field. The market has
developed further and Prodim International is known the world over.
The company is active in all European countries, the USA, Australia
and Asia. The company has focused on the natural stone industry, glass,
woodworking and ship building. The company is continuously in search
for new sales areas, as well as new uses for this amazing digitizer.
