Ultra fast processing capability – The GapGun Pro”s new, superfast processor means that measurements can be collected faster than ever before, with speed improvements of up to 20x over manual techniques, reducing cycle time and increasing efficiency

New VChange sensor system – GapGun Pro includes Third Dimension”s ergonomic new VChange sensor interface, which allows the sensor to remove, swap and reattach sensors, in just seconds, making multiple sensor use on the shop floor easier than ever before. A vast range of measurements can be collected using just one system and Third Dimension”s extensive range of interchangeable VChange sensors.

Fully integrated Wi-Fi – The integrated Wi-Fi connection of the GapGun Pro means instant results access direct to the PC, with no additional hardware or cables required, giving operators total autonomous measurement capability. This also allows for enhanced portability and convenience on the shop floor.

Extra high capacity internal battery – GapGun Pro can operate completely standalone for around 4 hours, plus a further 6.5 hours by simply attaching to its lightweight interchangeable clip on battery pack.

Robust construction – GapGun Pro”s evolved, rugged design makes it durable for a wide range of challenging and unique manufacturing environments

GapGun Pro builds on all the key capabilities of the GapGun Plus Series such the ability to measure without ever needing to touch the surface. This maximises the accuracy and repeatability whilst eliminating potential surface damage and enabling the measurement of soft or unfixed parts. A multitude of challenging surface finishes can be measured, using Third Dimension”s HiRange sensor technology. In addition, its patented adjustable laser cap can uniquely shorten or split the laser line to measure a range of complex features.

Third Dimension has a long track record of supplying metrology equipment and services to the largest names in aerospace, automotive and energy sectors worldwide. It has the capability to help manufacturers worldwide, realise the benefits of non-contact measurement and can integrate seamlessly with customers” own systems.
