From Jenoptik Industrial Metrology comes a crankshaft journal surface finish gage that greatly reduces the time required to collect and assess measurement data of virtually any crankshaft, any of its journals. As automotive engines must become more efficient, journal surface finish specifications become more critical to engine performance.
Called a point of use gage by the company, the benchtop device is designed for use at the point of production, allowing manufacturers to check crankshafts immediately as they come off the grinders. Shafts can be checked as needed, an entire production run or a sampling.
