Measuring Shafts and Cylinders

The 4D InSpec was designed with shop floor applications in mind. The gauge measures large components such as shafts and cylinders, directly on the part. It will also measure the radius of curvature of large and small parts. 

Radius Curvature Feature Analysis

Radius of curvature is calculated automatically with a click of the feature analysis software (Trace ROC). In this mode each profile trace you draw generates a radius of curvature calculation. The software will calculate both concave or convex curves, so you can measure the radius of shafts or the inside of a cylinder or pipe.

Splines

Handheld, portable 4D InSpec Surface Gauge can measure splines on a cylinder, to give you dimensions of the faces or depth between the splines.

Removing Cylinder Shape

In case you need to measure a surface feature on a cylinder, such as a scratch, dent or wear scar, feature analysis can be used to remove shapes like cylinders from a plot. Then the feature can be measured accurately, without the distortion of the surrounding shape. Watch the video to see it in action:
