You may be unfamiliar with the term “optical shaft metrology.” But you’ve no doubt experienced the advantages of this technology. Traveling by car or airplane, for example. In fact, it might surprise you to learn that anytime you’ve used a machine with an electric motor, a turbo charger, fuel injection, precision bearings, transaxles or spindles, chances are good you’ve benefited from optical shaft metrology.

Adcole Corporation is proud to introduce the LightSCOPE™ optical measurement system at IMTS 2018.

QVI® TurnCheck™ automatic optical measurement systems use advanced optics to measure shafts and cylinders in seconds. Rugged, easy-to-use TurnCheck offers instant measurement of diameters, lengths, angles, radii, cylindricity, runout and more. 

Quality Vision International (QVI®) announced the newest precision optical instruments for measuring shafts and other cylindrical parts – QVI TurnCheck™.

QVI’s new TurnCheck optical measuring system precisely measures shafts, cylinders and turned parts. 

Whether its in-line, off-line, in-process, or post-process, manufacturers are constantly searching for the best available measurement technology, and today’s metrology companies are stepping up to the plate to deliver.

Shaft-type parts can be found in just about every industry, from screws, medical needles, engines, and injectors, to aerospace and power sports. Shafts help the world go.

In today’s manufacturing environment high-precision noncontact optical shaft metrology is a solid investment, whether it’s an entry level SPC measuring station operated by the workers or a fully automatic system for 100% part inspection.

The term “shaft measurement system” is standard industry parlance today, but to think of these gages as measuring only shafts is too limiting.
