Camshaft gauge!

An upgraded camshaft measuring machine that has been engineered to handle longer camshafts for large diesel engines, and provides submicron accuracy is being introduced by ADCOLE Corporation.

Their Model 911 Camshaft Gauge for diesel engines handles parts up to 105” long and features a video monitor to assure the center hole is lined up and engaged and employs a footswitch operated open-close of the tailstock. Capable of automatically measuring 360° around the part, including all cam lobes, reference journals, timing features, and keyways, this gage provides submicron accuracy and can detect material buildup and other irregularities.

Featuring precision carriage ways to assure ±0.25 micron radial accuracy, this Camshaft Gauge measures each cam lobe’s axial profile from edge-to-edge and creates a 3D image that illustrates the shape and identifies irregularities. This gage has become the world standard for milling and grinding machine tool users to assure there is product conformance among suppliers and OEMs, claims the firm.
