The Tropel® CylinderMaster® is the first optical instrument to provide extensive quantification of outside and inside diameters of cylindrical components. It rapidly measures roundness, straightness, taper, and cylindricity to an accuracy of 50 nanometers (2.0 m inch).
Hundreds of thousands of data points are acquired in a single measurement to construct the full three-dimensional form of precision bores and shafts. Now you can have a complete understanding of your cylindrical part manufacturing process rather than inferring from 2D traces generated from a stylus probe or mechanical indicator.
While conventional roundness measuring techniques may take tens of minutes to assess cylindrical form in the laboratory, the CylinderMaster is designed for the shop-floor. This allows you to make measurements right at the process. This simplified system requires no set-up or special fixtures. Simply load the part on the measurement platform and measure the part in less than 60 seconds. Using this non-contacting measurement technique during the production process will assure the integrity of your part.
