1.5″ Laser Tracker Ball Probe Rhino Series Tough Probe – Standard Accuracy

The Rhino series Rolling Metrology Stand was designed with rigidity in mind. It features Heavy Duty three quarter inch tripod bolts.
Metrology Rolling Stands, Portable Tripods, and Mounts
It features Heavy Duty three quarter inch tripod bolts, it also features an extended bearing surface for the bolts so they do not rock and wobble at the top of the casting like on other stands on the market, this combined with a machined jam nut surface leads to super rigid bolts that are the interface to the ground for the Metrology Grade Rolling Stand. It is also designed to allow you to pull the top casting off to service the system over time.
The Rhino series features a next-generation seal that will not corrode or dry out over time like older generation leather seals. The upper casting has an extended clamping area and a reinforced backbone to ensure that this upper support casting is rigid. It provides the upper stability and is cut nearly in half so the reinforced backbone is a must when dealing with heavy and moving instruments. The design integrates a place to mount an adjustable laptop arm which works well when using portable CMM arms. On the upper flange and the base, there are some accessory holes so that custom plates and customer specific parts can be bolted on.
The center lift plate is Stainless steel and includes access to the fix tube bolts so the stand can be assembled and disassembled easily for shipping purposes. 9 Bolts and the Rolling Stand will ship flat. The base receiver adds rigidity to the bottom casting joint and also adds some weight for added stability. The combination of features make this the toughest Rolling stand on the market which is why it has been added to our Rhino Series. Only our toughest products get the Rhino emblem.
