At Optimax, we supply a huge range of Starrett profile projectors (also known as shadowgraphs and optical comparators) to precision manufacturing and quality control departments across the UK and beyond. They are particularly useful for inspecting parts with more complex geometries including pressings, plastic mouldings, electronic components and turned parts. 

From compact bench top vertical profile projectors to horizontal floor standing profile projectors, we have everything you could need to test and inspect a wide range of industry components. We supply budget-friendly machines as well as top-of-the-range optical comparators for intense inspection regimes. 

Shadowgraphs are perfect for machined parts that require tight tolerances as even the smallest of defects can be seen and measured with precision. When coupled with our high-tech metrology software, our shadowgraphs can provide precise diameter, radius, angle, line and point features measurement. 

If you’re unsure on which model would be best for your testing and inspection needs, we’ve created a guide on choosing the right profile projector for your business, and you’re more than welcome to book a demo at our lab in Market Harborough.
