  The Challenge with Manual Inspection In today’s high-speed manufacturing, waiting minutes for a single measurement is no longer an option. Factories across industries—automotive, aerospace, electronics, medical devices, and die & mould—are under immense pressure to deliver more parts in less time while maintaining zero-defect quality. Yet, many production floors still depend on manual inspection tools such as calipers, gauges, and profile projectors. These methods, while proven, are increasingly inadequate: - Delays – Measuring complex parts can take several minutes, slowing down throughput. - Operator Dependency – Accuracy varies with skill and experience, creating inconsistency. - Limited Traceability – Manual logging of results often leads to incomplete data during audits. Introducing the Solution – Optomech QMM This is where the Optomech Quick Measuring Machine (QMM) comes in. Built on over 40 years of expertise in precision metrology, Optomech has engineered ...

  Introduction In precision engineering, the precise measurement of gear teeth is essential to guarantee the performance and longevity of mechanical equipment. Gears in automotive, aerospace, or industrial applications play a vital role as components that need to adhere to strict dimensions. Even minute discrepancies in gear teeth may cause inefficient machine performance or total breakdown. This is where Optomech's Optical Profile Projector steps in—providing a non-contact, high-accuracy measurement solution for checking the geometry of gear teeth with micron-level precision. In this in-depth guide, we will discuss how Optomech's optical profile projector measures gear teeth, why it is used in different industries, and how manufacturers can leverage this technology for quality control and precision manufacturing. What is an Optical Profile Projector? An optical profile projector is a sophisticated measuring device that projects the enlarged image of a component onto a screen f...
