Solartron's products are extensively used in many measurements of power and transmission components within the automotive industry.

Alignment of camshaft bearings using Digital Miniature Probe fixture
Because they are quick, accurate, and cost effective, the Solartron Miniature Probe is frequently utilized in these types of bearing checks. It is small enough to be mounted to a bore gauge, and its double flexure design provides the required ruggedness.
Single Leaf Flexure for use in snap gauges for crankshafts
Solartron’s Single Leaf Flexure is for more abrasive applications, as well as jobs where standard pencil probes will not fit. It has been tested to over 20 million cycles, with extendable arms that can fit inside bores or other tough to reach places.
WiGauge
Wireless bore gauging for machine centres
Solartron’s WiGauge™ and WiGauge™ Gen II are built for bore and depth gauging applications where wired instruments are unfeasible or undesirable. A calibrated, digital 10 mm spring probe is encased in high impact ABS handle with an optional new integrated colour LCD screen.
Taking differential housing measurements using WiGauge™
Using one centralised WiGauge™ wireless solution for bore gauging on multi-machine cell projects, eliminates any redundancy that would occur by individually equipping each machine with its own independent ‘cabled’ system, ultimately dramatically reducing costs.
Cylinder head and cam shaft measurement using Flexures and Gauging Probes
With measurements being taken at 3 points per journal and cradle, both Gauging Probes and Flexures were used to calculate diameter and centre point. In total, 12 Solartron sensors were used, communicating with one another using the Orbit® 3 Network.
Glass gauging system
Taking measurements of glass for automotive and industrial applications needs to be precise and delicate. A combination of probes and non-contact sensors can be used with a single Orbit® Manager providing reliable data acquisition.
Measurements of automotive parts
Increasingly, car manufacturers have had to ensure the precision production of parts and casing to ensure smooth running and ultimate performance, whilst keeping production costs down. Using 120 probesand the Orbit® Network, interior geometry of the two main cases of a transfer/differential system could be measured at one time in an off-gauge station.
Piston gear measurement
Working alongside companies who supply accurate and reliable precision gauging probes to manufacturing companies, Solartron Metrology’s display unit can improve the overall product offering, providing data to the end user.
Cars mechanical prototyping process
When designing a new chassis or a new security device for the automotive market, analysis on existing theoretical schematics can be validate by measurement
As the complexity and precision of automotive parts become more demanding, the choice of sensor and the way that data is processed becomes more integral to the system and workstation design.
