Precision Alignment & Metrology
Straightness Inspection
Direct laser measurement of straightness, along the full length of a shaft or a line of bearing pockets.
From a main engine’s crankshaft to a hydro turbine’s shaft, straightness is the geometric foundation of every reliable rotation — and it is measured, not assumed.
Case studies & field applications
Crankshaft deflection — main engine bearing pockets
Direct laser measurement of shaft straightness along the entire length; straightness inspection, with laser, of the crankshaft bearing pockets of a ship's main engine.
Camshaft bearing pockets & crankshaft run-out
Straightness inspection, with laser, of the camshaft bearing pockets of a ship's main engine, together with crankshaft run-out measurement — predictive maintenance through precision measurement.
Run-out measurements on hydro turbine shaft
Precision straightness verification using a precision dial gauge to ensure optimal turbine performance and prevent premature bearing wear in hydroelectric installations.
