Expanded capacity shaft measuring machine
Adcole Expands Large-Part Measurement Portfolio with New 911-130 and 911-180 Gages and Enhanced 1200-HC Capacity
Adcole LLC expands its industry-leading metrology portfolio with new high-capacity 911 and 1200-HC gages, enabling precise measurement of larger rotating components while maintaining the trusted accuracy manufacturers demand.
Eliminate Blind Spots in Shaft Inspection with 3D Mapping
Modern precision manufacturing has entered an era where micron‑level tolerances are no longer exceptional but expected. As rotary components grow more complex, conventional inspection methods struggle to reveal true geometric behavior, driving the need for higher‑density measurement and advanced analytical tools to ensure quality, stability, and performance.
Supporting the AI Economy: The Role of Precision Metrology for Large Power Generation Engines
Artificial intelligence is one of the largest drivers of global electricity demand. Manufacturers of large crankshafts and camshafts face a distinct challenge: achieving micron level precision on components that can weigh more than a car. Meeting this standard requires not only advanced measurement technology but automated gages specifically engineered for large rotating parts.
