Metrology Gages
Adcole metrology gages are precision-engineered instruments designed to ensure the dimensional accuracy and geometric integrity of shafts and other rotational components. These gages deliver high-resolution measurements across a broad spectrum of GD&T parameters, including form, orientation, location, and runout tolerances.
Manufacturers rely on Adcole systems to quantify critical features such as roundness, straightness, angularity, parallelism, and profile with sub-micron precision. In addition to standard dimensional checks, the gages support advanced diagnostics—measuring chatter, lobe lift error, surface finish, and center deviation—enabling root cause analysis and process optimization in tight tolerance manufacturing environments.
Adcole Cylindrical Coordinate Measurement Machines (CCMMs) are engineered to deliver industry-leading accuracy across a wide range of sectors—including automotive (EV and ICE), aerospace, marine, robotics, mining, heavy diesel, and trucking. Our product catalog includes high-precision, customizable tactile gages for both in-line inspection and audit sampling, as well as advanced optical measurement systems—all integrated with powerful software to provide actionable data for improving shaft quality.

Why Adcole
Adcole pioneered semi- and fully-automated gaging solutions for precision measurement of cylindrical and eccentric shafts as early as the 1960s. With decades of innovation behind us, we remain committed to the principle that quality is the foundation of customer satisfaction—and that true quality begins with how you measure it.
Our philosophy is simple: you can’t manufacture to tolerances beyond your ability to measure them. That’s why Adcole systems are engineered for unmatched accuracy, repeatability, and durability. To this day, our shaft metrology platforms continue to set the benchmark for precision in the industry.
Widely recognized as the “gage of record” by shaft manufacturers worldwide, Adcole systems enable real-time process control by feeding measurement results directly back to grinding machines. This integration—leveraging Industry 4.0 technologies such as IoT-enabled sensors, edge computing, machine learning, and digital twins—ensures tighter tolerances, minimizes scrap, and maximizes production efficiency.
Software
The software within our gages helps you find issues before it becomes a problem with features for tracking defects, analyzing performance metrics, and generating detailed reports.
