Laser Measurement
Laser measurement is essential where accuracy and documentation are critical. We use modern systems to verify bore alignment and the flatness of critical structures—whether engine blocks, gearboxes, flanges, foundations, or machine bases.
Precision measurement for documented flatness and correct installation.
A fundamental prerequisite for machine installation is that the mounting surface is completely flat. This ensures the machine table meets flatness requirements so that produced parts maintain the necessary tolerances. For wind turbines, the flanges between tower segments are checked for flatness, and the requirements may also include a specified inclination of the plane.
The laser measurement system can be used on flanges of any size, regardless of diameter. The system can measure between one and five concentric circles of points—e.g., inner, middle, and outer—to analyze taper (conicity) across the flange.
As documentation, a PDF report is generated with graphs and measurement data, directly from the system’s display unit.
Applications:
- Flatness verification of pedestals, flanges, and foundations
- Alignment of a mobile milling machine
Bore alignment
Bore alignment is used to verify and document that bearing bores are aligned along the same straight axis, and for precise alignment of machines and components.
Applications:
- To verify whether a series of bearing bores are aligned along the same straight axis
- Measurement of stern tube bearings
- Measurement of the engine block and gear boxes.
- Alignment of line-boring machines where there are large distances between bearings or where precise positioning is required.
