About CALIPRI
CALIPRI is a product brand of Hexagon and comprises measuring systems for non-contact dimensional and profile inspection based on the patented laser light section principle. The portfolio includes handheld devices such as CALIPRI C14, C15, Prime and C42 as well as automated systems such as CALIPRI X (permanently track-installed wheelset measurement), CALIPRI CB20 (automated flush-and-gap measurement) and VEPOSE (6D vehicle position detection on conveyor belts). For steel production, CALIPRI RCx is available for measuring length products; CALIPRI C42 Rollshop measures roll profiles without contact. The cloud application CALIPRI Predictor stores and analyzes measurement results, and WheelSense enables predictive maintenance of wheelsets. Core industries are the rail industry/rail transport, the automotive industry and steel production; the technology is established worldwide. The systems automatically correct tilt and rotation errors, offer temperature compensation and factory calibration, and location-independent cloud access to measurement data. The brand's headquarters and legal details are held by Hexagon; contact details were not provided in the sources.
