Tedious measurements and calculations performed quickly and accurately. Optical/mechanical/electronic system acts as shape gauge by taking measurements of machine-tool motions or complicated contours of objects, then processing measurement data into maps or profiles indicative of shapes. Transducers of shape gauge mechanical/electronic or optomechanical/electronic components that move along path on surface and measure roundness, perpendicular deviation, or slope of surface. Because of ease and speed, many intersecting profiles measured on surface.
