What sets an Adcole gage apart as the world’s premier cylindrical coordinate measuring machine? It comes down to four key elements: precision-engineered hardware, intelligent software, expert engineering, and a dedicated support team—all working together to deliver the most reliable and comprehensive gaging solutions for every part feature. Our advanced gage add-ons are designed to tackle the toughest measurement challenges. Whether it’s accessing hard-to-reach areas, enhancing measurement accuracy, protecting your equipment, or expanding optical capabilities, Adcole’s innovations ensure your system performs at its best.

Common Add-Ons

Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) - 2 or 3 KVA

UPS provides temporary power in the event of a loss of primary (facility) power. This allows the gage to run for a short period of time using the UPS backup power and/or a controlled shutdown of the gage and CPU2. This is important to help prevent PC issues which can arise from abrupt power interruptions.

Overhead Light Stack

Instant visual identification of part conformity

Programmable or Pneumatic Tailstock

Increase operation efficiency and ease of use – particularly with large and heavy parts.

Linear Variable Differential Transformer (LVDT)

For thrustwall width & runout measurement with two probes

Interlocked Part Enclosure Door with Window and Programmable LED Lights

Enclose your gage for safety and keep the gage clean from the elements of production environments.

Leveling & Isolation

Provides for enhanced vibration isolation and manual gage leveling. This is important for gages which may be subjected to external sources of vibration such as stamping or forging presses, large pumps or motors or simply forklift/truck traffic near the machine.

Choose from three types:

Reference Artifacts

Hard Coated Customer Part - for Reference Values

Have your shaft hard coated as a continuous reference point for your measurement goals.

DKD Crank Master with Custom End Caps

This type of master is primarily used for conducting MSA type 1 studies (gage repeatability and bias). The MSA type 1 not only ensures that the gage repeatably measures, but also that it measures a known value correctly (without bias). The DKD can also be used for troubleshooting potential gage issues.

Calibration Bar

Keep your gage tuned and ready for the most accurate measurement

Angle Master Shaft

Hard Coated customer camshaft with angle measured at Adcole for Angle Calibration

Custom Reference Sliding Eccentric Bar

Have confidence that your gage is running smoothly and programmed properly for your shaft by varifing reference points

Productivity and Accuracy Enhancers

2D Matrix Reader

Track your production with 2D matrix scanners include high data capacity, omnidirectional reading, and the ability to read damaged or poor-quality codes.

Hydraulic Chuck

Simplify setup and streamline part loading with this intuitive add-on for your Adcole Gage—designed to enhance efficiency and ease of use.

CamTracker: Precision Sidewall Measurement Accessory

Available as an optional accessory for new vertical 911 gages and compatible with horizontal 1302 and 1304 models, the CamTracker is a high-precision, LVDT-based system engineered to measure form and error on the sidewalls of camshaft shifting grooves.

DiaMetric Follower

The DiaMetric™ follower system enables advanced manufacturers to obtain 5 times greater accuracy, achieving submicron performance levels of ±0.2 μm when measuring diameters on their existing Adcole 911 gage.
