End-Of-Line Crankshaft Gage Provides 100% Inspection Of Critical Tolerances

A new, high-speed end-of-line crankshaft gage that measures the ever tighter tolerances necessitated by developing greener technology engines has been introduced by ADCOLE Corporation of Marlborough, Massachusetts.

The Adcole Model 1300 High-Speed Crankshaft Gage permits horizontal axis to facilitate automatic loading and features less than 1 min. cycle times with sub-micron accuracy for 3 micron roundness tolerances to provide QS 9000 and Q1 quality verifications. Allowing statistical production control of journal grinders for diameter, roundness, 3rd harmonic analysis, cylindricity, straightness, stroke
and index, this gage assures 100% inspection of critical tolerances.

Developed to increase the production of good parts, minimize troubleshooting time, and significantly reduce warranty expenses, the Adcole Model 1300 High-Speed Crankshaft Gage will virtually eliminate the risk of delivering a bad crankshaft. Designed for operating two or three shifts per day, it has a granite surface and incorporates the latest technology in touch-screen controls, air bearings, and optical linear scales for end-of-line accuracy.

The Adcole Model 1300 High-Speed Crankshaft Gage is priced from $495,000.00 up, depending upon configuration. Literature is available upon request.
