HDV250 by Starrett: digital clarity, optical‑comparator simplicity, audit‑ready results
New from Vision Engineering: Evo Cam Aura 4K digital microscope for faster, repeatable quality control
High-accuracy tactile metrology systems for precise, repeatable measurement of critical dimensions and geometric features.
Coordinate measuring machines (CMMs) are the mainstay of dimensional measurement in manufacturing environments. At Optimax, we supply a range of these new and refurbished tactile metrology instruments to precision manufacturing companies across the UK. See below for our range of shop floor hardened, space efficient machines. Additionally, working with our network of partners we can advise on a significant range of high end or large capacity solutions.
Professional height gauges are still a must have tactile metrology device for those working in precision industries including automotive, aerospace and medical device manufacture. Our height gauges from Mahr provide customers with a choice of 1D or 2D workshop hardened high accuracy motorized units. Users benefit from simple hop on hop off functionality with large icons and intuitive touch screen or tactile controls, or benefit from measurement routines and a variety of data export options. Available with traceable UKAS certification, you can take your metrology to the next level with Optimax.
Accurately measure the contour and roughness of any surface using professional tactile measuring devices from Optimax. We stock Mahr tactile metrology instruments for the precise measurement of various surface types. From small portable gauges to automated bench top high accuracy testers, our contour and roughness gauges make it easier than ever to accurately measure and inspect components in the most challenging environments.
Precisely analyse part roundness with purpose built tactile metrology machines or add probes to our flexible shaft scanning solutions. Often found in aerospace, automotive and precision manufacturing industries, our roundness measuring machines are the perfect partner for qualifying round and cylindrical products.
Improve your tactile metrology efficiency and streamline part loading with a range of accessories from Optimax. We stock casting material kits, bespoke fixtures, component holding systems as well as standard fixture kits to make inspection and measuring of small components easier than ever. Talk to us at Optimax to see if we can improve your measuring processes.
Tactile metrology remains one of the most trusted methods for achieving accurate, repeatable dimensional measurement. Using direct physical contact, tactile measurement provides precise metrology and measurements for quality control, geometric inspection and surface characterisation across a wide range of industries. From automotive and aerospace to medical devices and general precision engineering, tactile inspection continues to be the foundation of reliable dimensional metrology.
At Optimax, we specialise in supplying advanced tactile metrology systems designed for high-accuracy dimensional inspection. Our range supports everything from simple 1D measurements to complex 3-dimensional measurement tasks, helping engineers validate components, verify tolerance compliance and maintain consistent production quality.
