ABSTRACT:
The invention concerns a portable device (1) for measuring the position, shape and/or size of an object. The device comprises a carrier element (2), at least one transmission unit for generating and transmitting visible radiation towards the object and at least one receiving unit for receiving the radiation imaging the object. The transmission unit and receiving unit are mounted in a defined position relative to each other on the carrier element (2). Modular construction provides high variability of the device (1) so that it can be used flexibly for various applications. In particular, the transmission unit is mounted to a first holding element (3) and the receiving unit to a second holding element (4), wherein the holding elements (3, 4) can be introduced together with the transmission unit or receiving unit from outside the carrier element (2) to predeterminable mounting positions (5, 6) of the carrier element (2) and be mounted there using mounting means (7, 8) which can be accessed from outside of the carrier element (2).
