Alignment

Properly aligned machines… consistent parts

Misalignments can lead to machine downtime and significantly decrease machine performance; however, portable CMMs such as laser trackers and measuring arms can help to mitigate these issues.

Accuracy and consistency

The FARO® Laser Tracker is ideal for many tasks such as machine tool alignment, roller and press alignment, jig and fixture alignment, or CMM alignment. Machines that are out of tolerance produce defective parts and are subject to failure. This accurate and fast method reduces downtime, improves quality, and generates a proper trend analysis of distortion and other changes in a machine’s operation.

Produce consistent parts

For smaller-scale tasks, such as on-machine alignment, portable CMMs, such as the FaroArm are an ideal solution to complement the laser tracker work.
