Axel 2D Software for Optical

Profile Projectors

Axel 7 2D windows software distributed by Midland Metrology Ltd works with optical profile projectors (optical comparators). It has been designed to complement and enhance features found on DRO’s (Digital Readout Units) normally found with optical profile projectors.

Integrated Metrology Suite for Effort

Free Measurement

The software interfaces with the DRO via serial link or USB. The data points are gathered with a foot switch or automatically with an edge detector if available. The software can be supplied as standard with a new projector or retro-fitted to suitable used machines.
