Creaform’s HandyPROBE has found new applications in the space industry. The HandyPROBE will be used to help assemble the European space launcher Ariane 5, according to the company.

In the aeronautics industry, the HandyPROBE is used for first-part and serial manufacture quality control.

Creaform says its technology helps to suppress the potential for error by the operator during critical stages, and helps to acquire a dynamic measurement of the relative position of various objects. The system is insensitive to the usual disruptions to the measurement process on a mobile platform.

Ariane 5 is an expendable launch system used in Europe to deliver satellites into space.
