Measuring Squareness on Machinery
Many machine tools rely on the squareness or perpendicularity between moving tables, slides, or tools in order to produce parts that are square. If machinery isn’t squared properly, it will […] Read more ›
Gauging Level and Flat Using Laser Alignment Tools
The terms “level” and “flat” are used interchangeably and, in some cases, assumed to mean the same thing. In fact, they are different, but both can be measured using laser […] Read more ›
Bucking In or Do the Math?
When using a laser alignment system to check a machine or sub-assembly for straightness, flatness, bore alignment and many other geometric parameters, we often need to normalize the laser reference […] Read more ›
Squaring a Machine Tool with a Laser
Many machine tools rely on the squareness or perpendicularity between moving tables or slides and also the axis of travel for a cutting bit. Traditional methods for checking the squareness […] Read more ›
