(ADCOLE: Marlborough, MA) -- A camshaft gauge with upgraded submicron accuracy for end-of-line inspection that provides high-speed production monitoring of up to 200 parts-per-hour has been introduced by ADCOLE Corp. of Marlborough, Massachusetts, a manufacturer of high-accuracy optical mechanical measuring technologies.

The ADCOLE 1310 High-Speed Camshaft Gage is an end-of-line inspection gauge that can measure 10 or more parameters including radius, profile, taper, crown, timing angle, diameter, velocity, acceleration, run-out, roundness, and concentricity. Providing 0.1-micron resolution per data point, this camshaft gauge has been upgraded with dual computers, Windows XP embedded software, and GE Fanuc motion controllers.

Incorporating a Eurocard PCB format with diagnostic test points in front for high reliability and ease of maintenance, the gauge has a display that allows operators to visually monitor throughput with green, yellow, and red plots depicting in-tolerance, reaching control limits, and out-of-tolerance status. Featuring gauge room accuracy, it offers user-programmable measurement parameters and easy part setup changes.
