Tactile metrology remains one of the most trusted methods for achieving accurate, repeatable dimensional measurement. Using direct physical contact, tactile measurement provides precise metrology and measurements for quality control, geometric inspection and surface characterisation across a wide range of industries. From automotive and aerospace to medical devices and general precision engineering, tactile inspection continues to be the foundation of reliable dimensional metrology.

At Optimax, we specialise in supplying advanced tactile metrology systems designed for high-accuracy dimensional inspection. Our range supports everything from simple 1D measurements to complex 3-dimensional measurement tasks, helping engineers validate components, verify tolerance compliance and maintain consistent production quality.

Our product portfolio includes:

• 2D Profilometers (Surface Profilers) – for high-precision profile measurement and surface roughness analysis (Ra, Rz and more).

• Digital Height Gauges – offering accurate 1D and 2D dimensional measurement for workshop and QC environments.

• Coordinate Measuring Machines (CMMs) – industry-standard tools for comprehensive dimensional metrology, geometric inspection and repeatable part validation.

We work with market-leading manufacturers including Starrett Metrology Systems, Vision Engineering, Mahr and Optivu, ensuring every tactile measurement device offers reliability, accuracy and longevity.

Whether you need a standalone instrument or a fully integrated system, Optimax can help you choose the right equipment and incorporate it seamlessly into your workflow. Our expert consultation ensures you get the best tactile metrology solution for your application.

We also supply a full range of optical and 3D metrology systems, enabling you to combine tactile and non-contact inspection for complete dimensional control.
