Laser Tracker Alignment & Inspection

Accurate alignment and inspection of heavy machinery—such as rollers, mills, shafts, turbines, and other precision-critical equipment—requires a level of accuracy that conventional measurement methods often cannot achieve. Even small dimensional deviations can affect performance, accelerate wear, reduce efficiency, and lead to costly downtime. For these applications, we provide high-precision measurement solutions using laser tracker CMMs, measuring arm CMMs, and metrology-grade handheld 3D laser scanners, allowing us to collect reliable data for alignment, inspection, and dimensional verification.

Laser tracker CMMs are especially effective for large-scale machinery and assemblies that require high-accuracy point-based measurement over long distances. They are well suited for roller, mill, shaft, and turbine alignment, as well as large-part inspection and reverse engineering. With micron-level accuracy over distances exceeding 160 meters, our laser tracker CMMs enable precise measurement of critical geometries across large work areas while maintaining the level of accuracy required for demanding industrial applications.

For smaller, high-precision components and equipment, our measuring arm CMMs provide highly accurate probing and 3D laser scanning in a compact and flexible setup. They are ideal for molds, smaller machinery, machined parts, and other components that require detailed dimensional inspection, alignment verification, or reverse engineering. By combining tactile probing with 3D laser scanning, our measuring arm CMMs allow us to collect dense and accurate measurement data while maintaining micron-level precision.

Our metrology-grade handheld 3D laser scanners add another level of flexibility, especially for small- to medium-sized machinery and complex surfaces that may be difficult to access using conventional equipment. With micron-level accuracy, these 3D laser scanners are highly effective for collecting detailed 3D laser scan data in confined areas, on irregular geometries, and in situations where portability and adaptability are critical. This makes them particularly useful for inspection, dimensional analysis, and reverse engineering applications that require both precision and efficiency.

By using a combination of laser tracker CMMs, measuring arm CMMs, and metrology-grade handheld 3D laser scanners, we are able to capture highly accurate and comprehensive 3D measurement data tailored to the specific requirements of each project. This integrated approach allows us to apply the most suitable measurement method to each asset, geometry, and working environment, ensuring dependable results for machinery alignment, dimensional inspection, reverse engineering, and other high-precision metrology applications. We can also perform dimensional and geometric dimensioning and tolerancing (GD&T)-based analysis, including flatness, roundness, concentricity, straightness, perpendicularity, parallelism, and related geometric checks where required.
