Profile Projector Supplier for South Africa
MCS Mechatronic manufactures vertical, horizontal and slant screen profile projectors in Kolhapur, India, and supplies them to machine shops, fastener and gear makers, tool rooms and inspection labs in South Africa. A profile projector magnifies the outline of a part onto a screen so profiles, angles, radii and threads can be measured against the drawing.
South Africa has the most developed industrial base in Africa, with mining, automotive manufacturing, steel production, power generation and a large lifting-equipment sector. SANAS-accredited labs, OEM supplier requirements and mining safety rules keep demand for precise, traceable material testing high. Non-contact optical measurement makes the profile projector a fast, practical inspection tool for small precision parts.

Profile Projector Applications in South Africa
Our machines are used by mining houses, automotive OEMs and component suppliers, steel producers, lifting-gear makers, power utilities, SANAS-accredited labs and universities. Typical South African applications include:
Machine shops
Profiles, radii, angles and chamfers on turned and milled parts
Fastener makers
Thread form, pitch and head profile checks
Gear and tool makers
Gear tooth and cutting tool profiles
Stampings and springs
Outline checks on pressed and formed parts
Plastic and rubber parts
Non-contact checks on soft or flexible parts
Inspection and training labs
Dimensional metrology teaching and QC
Testing Standards Supported
MCS profile projectors use telecentric lenses for distortion-free magnification from 10X to 100X, so profiles and dimensions can be compared directly with drawing tolerances during first-article and in-process inspection.
In South Africa, product conformity is overseen by SABS (South African Bureau of Standards), and laboratories that issue accredited reports work under SANAS (South African National Accreditation System). Measurements taken on the projector can be recorded on your inspection reports against the part drawing.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you export profile projectors to South Africa?
Yes. MCS Mechatronic manufactures profile projectors in Kolhapur, India, and exports them to South Africa through ports such as Port of Durban and Port of Cape Town.
Which profile projector should I choose: vertical or horizontal?
Vertical and slant screen models suit flat and small parts placed on the table. The horizontal model suits shafts, threads and long parts, and offers helix tilting of ±15° for thread measurement.
Which magnifications are available?
Telecentric lenses of 10X, 20X, 50X and 100X are available, with an indexable turret holding three lenses.
What screen sizes do you offer?
All three series are available with 300, 360 or 400 mm screens.
Can MCS machines support testing in SANAS-accredited labs?
Accredited labs in South Africa work to ISO and ASTM methods under SANAS. MCS profile projectors use telecentric lenses from 10X to 100X, and measurements can be recorded against drawing tolerances for your SABS or client inspection records. Machines can be verified on site by your accredited calibration provider after delivery.
Can the machine run on the power supply used in South Africa?
The supply voltage depends on the model. South Africa's three-phase supply is 400 V at 50 Hz, so please mention your site voltage and frequency in your enquiry so we can confirm the right electrical configuration.
