The Adcole Model 1000-Z features both optical and tactile measuring heads to deliver high precision surface measurements of camshafts, crankshafts and turned parts. The non-contact interferometric probe expands on the measurement capabilities from the diamond tipped contact probe of the standard Adcole 1000 gage, because the optical accessory can precisely measure surface finish of hard-to-reach features such as groove bottoms, sidewalls, and more.
Profilometers such as the 1000-Z quantify surface roughness and are relied on to maintain quality and identify potential problems in the manufacturing and coating process.
