Optical Shaft Measuring Technology: Measuring Systems from the OPTICLINE Range
Jenoptik has developed a new generation of optical measuring systems that make quality control during production easier.
For many years, the OPTICLINE range of measuring systems have set the benchmark in optical shaft measuring technology. They boast an impressively high measurement speed, precision, and optimum ease of use. In 2015, a new generation Jenoptik measuring systems was launched, offering several technical innovations and optimizations. Jenoptik systems allow efficient and transparent quality control in production.
Measurably closer
The OPTICLINE measuring systems have been specifically designed for use in tough production environments. They are extremely robust and impervious to external influences. They also offer integrated self-monitoring, ensuring maximum system availability.
Jenoptik optical systems allow the following measurements of your workpieces:
- Dimensional measurements(lengths and diameters, radii and angles)
- Thread measurements(dimensions, form)
- Form measurements(straightness, roundness, cylindricity)
- Profile form(free forms, tolerance range, cam form)
- Position measurement(radial run-out and axial runout, straightness, symmetry and parallelism, concentricity and coaxiality)
Measurably faster
The OPTICLINE systems probe your workpieces in a fully automatic optical and therefore non-contact process and analyze the contours of complex workpieces in extremely short times. Thanks to their use in the actual production process, they not only minimize operator routes, but also reduce costs, waste, and sources of error. This saves you costs, time, and resources.
Jenoptik measurement and evaluation software helps you to complete your measuring tasks – from the creation of the test plan to complicated measurement runs. It is easy to understand and intuitive to use. It can quickly be adjusted to the defined work processes, and clearly maps even complex test characteristics.
High degree of competence and over 25 years of experience
The optical measuring systems incorporate extensive expertise and long-standing experience in the area of industrial metrology. More than 2,500 OPTICLINE measuring systems are in use worldwide with a track record of success.
