Adcole History
In 1957, Addison D. Cole proceeded with the founding of Adcole Corporation, now Adcole LLC, a business set to become a revolutionary industrial technology manufacturer within the automotive and space exploration industry.
During the early years of the space race, Mr. Cole recognized the need for accurate orientation of spacecraft and satellites in orbit. With this need in mind, Adcole developed sun-angle sensors capable of precisely recording the location of a craft in orbit based on its position relative to the sun. Following a chance meeting in the 1960’s with a powertrain engineer from International Harvester Company, now International Motors LLC, Mr. Cole envisioned how Adcole’s calibration techniques for their fine-angle sun sensors could be applied to precision metrology systems for camshaft production. With this “eureka” moment, Adcole became the first company in the world to manufacture automated shaft metrology systems whose accuracy, precision, and durability have set a standard of excellence that has yet to be eclipsed to this day.
With Adcole’s major product lines established, it became clear to the broader industrial technology community that under the leadership of Mr. Cole, this was to be a business dedicated to solving complex problems in both space and here on earth, pushing the boundaries of precision, accuracy, and quality, and forever to be recognized as the leader in TRUSTED ACCURACY systems.
