(Marposs: Auburn Hills, MI) -- Marposs, a world leader in measurement, inspection, and test technologies, announces its newest generation Optoquick measuring system, the first solution combining a touch measuring system together with an automatic stylus changing system. Within a measuring cycle, the contact sensor stylus can automatically be exchanged with the new multi-axis G65 contact gauge, enabling measurement of nonvisible features such as key slots, depth and angle, holes, flat surfaces, and axial run-outs to accomplish specific measurements with the appropriate stylus model.

The new Optoquick is well-suited for measuring transmission shafts where spline and gear features, such as OBR, ODB, and pitch run-out need to be measured together with traditional measurement of the solid bearing portions. It combines a touch measuring sensor with noncontact optical scanning to provide rapid and accurate measurements while the part is rotating. Designed to operate on the shop floor next to the machine, it helps speed up the work-in-progress operations and eliminates time wasted in moving parts across the shop floor.
