  • Apparatus and method to measure tapered or conical parts
    Patent number: 6421929
    Abstract: A tapered part measuring apparatus and method measures male and female tapered or conical parts. The apparatus and method use non-contact linear measurement technology for accurate and repeatable measurements, particularly of tapered parts with large deviations from their desired measurements. The tapered part suspends in non-contact position to the non-contact linear measurement probe on a true vertical axis to accurately assume the same position on replicate measurements.
