A simple fact in manufacturing is that everyone has to measure. However, when precision is the ultimate goal, measurement is not simply about inspection, it’s about process control. Manufacturers need the right tools to increase quality, maximize productivity, and, ultimately, to make measurement a value-added process.

An introduction to shaft measurement systems

If a part is created to turn on an axis, a shaft is typically involved. Shafts contain a number of functional elements, such as gears, grooves, splines, tapers, and threads—which all have associated critical dimensions. Diameters, lengths, angles, distances between points and lines, groove widths, fillet radii, or chamfers on these parts are well-suited for shaft measurement systems.
