[2] Sun angle sensors designed by Adcole have flown on numerous space exploration missions, including Mars Pathfinder and the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter.

[3] Automobile and truck engine makers as well as agricultural and construction equipment manufacturers utilize measuring machines and tools from Adcole as well.

[10] The majority of engine manufacturers, large and small, employ Adcole measuring devices machines at some stage of the production process.

The level of precision required in engine manufacturing is rigorous; Adcole gauges are reportedly accurate to within 10 12 millionths of an inch (0.25 μm).

Model 1300 has an automatic loading feature and can measure parts for roundness, size, timing angle and stroke.

[11] Adcole provides camshaft and crankshaft inspection gages for hundreds companies within the automotive supply chain, including:[4]

[13] According to Vice President Tom MacDonald, every orbiting GPS satellite is equipped with a Sun angle sensor from Adcole.

[6] In 2012, Adcole Sun sensor assemblies were used during NASA's spacecraft cruise stage to deliver the Curiosity rover to Mars.
