About Adcole
Adcole LLC has been a pioneer and manufacturer of automated measuring solutions for precision measurements on cylindrical and eccentric shafts and other components since 1968. The portfolio includes high-precision tactile shaft measuring machines (1200 series with radial accuracy up to ±0.25 µm), in-line tactile production gages for high-throughput environments, audit gages for the measurement room or production floor, as well as surface roughness gages with associated evaluation software. The offering is complemented by add-ons, software for defect tracking, metrics analysis and reports, as well as a consultative advisory process for designing suitable measuring solutions. Customers include manufacturers from the automotive, e-mobility (EV motors), aerospace, marine, commercial vehicle and industrial sectors. Adcole offers worldwide training for operation and maintenance on-site, at the factory or at global branch offices, as well as service and spare parts supply. The website is available in nine languages.
