Optical Shaft Measuring Technology OPTILINE
Our CS measuring stations are ideal for quality control, and make the optical, non-contact measurement of turned parts much easier.
The measuring stations of the Opticline CS product range from Jenoptik are specially designed for the demands of turned parts measurement. The systems can be used in manufacturing itself, or in the measuring room. They even function without any problems in the tough production areas of an industrial environment.
Fitted with various interfaces for statistical process control (SPC) the Opticline CS systems allow extremely efficient monitoring of the manufacturing process, and allow rapid intervention where necessary. This ensures that you can produce turned parts of a consistently high quality. The measuring systems are simple to operate, allow non operator-dependent measurement results, and deliver easy to understand measurement results with analysis functions where required.
The Opticline measuring systems have been specifically designed for use in tough production environments. They are extremely robust and impervious to external influences. They also offer integrated self-monitoring, ensuring maximum system availability.
Our optical systems allow the following measurements of your workpieces:
- Dimensional measurements(lengths and diameters, radii and angles)
- Thread measurements(dimensions, form)
- Form measurements(straightness, roundness, cylindricity)
- Profile form(free forms, tolerance range, cam form)
- Position measurement(radial run-out and axial runout, straightness, symmetry and parallelism, concentricity and coaxiality)

Opticline SPC Measuring Stations from Jenoptik for Your Optical Shaft Measuring Technology
The measuring systems of the CA series are perfectly suited as SPC measuring stations, especially for use in automation. They are flexible, extremely robust and specially designed for permanent use in harsh production environments. They check dimension, form and position of your workpieces during production with extreme precision and reliability. Using the shadowgraph principle, they analyze a wide variety of shaft-shaped workpieces such as engine and transmission shafts, turbochargers, valves and pistons.
The optical measuring systems are characterized by non-contact measuring cycles within seconds. Intelligent hardware and software interfaces enable you to integrate the measuring systems of the CA series seamlessly and flexibly into your automated production processes. Depending on your requirements, you can choose from a wide range of different versions and designs.
