Fields of use

Applications

Fields in which geometry determines function, service life and process stability.

Production machinery

Geometric assessment, alignment and analysis of production lines in a running industrial environment.

  • Installation and relocation
  • Recurring control surveys
Typical equipment

Production lines, assembly lines, palletising systems, handling systems, filling lines, extruder plants, calenders, coating lines, dryer sections.

Special-purpose machinery

One-off builds without empirical values: geometry is often the only reliable reference.

  • Support for first assembly and acceptance
  • Verification of required tolerances
Typical equipment

Double belt presses, single opening presses, film casting lines, digital belt printing systems, jigs and fixtures, frame and structure assembly, test stations, pilot plants.

Steel strip & conveyor systems

Systematically narrowing down tracking issues, belt run and geometry-related process problems.

  • Roll parallelism and belt tracking
  • Frame and stand geometry
Typical equipment

Steel belt lines, belt drums and deflection drums, belt steering rollers, single belt conveyors with oven, cooling and drying belts, press tables, tissue dewatering plants.

Rolling mills & forming technology

Heavy forming equipment where axis position, parallelism and foundation reference feed directly into product quality.

  • Axis position and parallelism of roll sets
  • Reference between machine, foundation and line axis
Typical equipment

Hot and cold rolling mills, plate rolls, forging presses, forging furnaces, extrusion presses, injection moulding machines, press tools, levellers, coilers.

Hydropower & turbines

Metrological support during installation and assessment of relevant components and structures.

  • Installation and position control
  • Reference systems across multiple levels
Typical equipment

Runners, turbine shafts, draft tubes, hydro and turbo generators, stators and rotors.

Crane runways

Precise capture and assessment of crane runways and their technical boundary conditions.

  • Gauge, level, straightness, inclination
  • Basis for repair decisions
Typical equipment

Workshop crane runways, heavy-duty cranes, gantry cranes, bridge cranes, tower cranes, crane rails and rail fastenings, runway girders, anchor points.

Foundations & machine installation

Defining the position before installation instead of correcting it afterwards: main axis, installation height and reference to the building structure.

  • Setting out the main machine axis
  • Flatness and level of installation surfaces
Typical equipment

Machine foundations, anchor plates and anchor bolts, installation surfaces and base frames, foundation rails, foundation pits, embedded parts in concrete.

Sensors & measuring systems

Precise alignment and referencing of sensor systems — where sensor position determines measurement quality.

  • Referencing into a superordinate coordinate system
  • Experience with confocal, laser and encoder systems
Typical equipment

Camera and vision systems, light barriers and measuring frames, sensor mounts and beams.

Aerospace

Alignment and verification tasks with high demands on accuracy, traceability and documentation.

  • Alignment of assemblies and fixtures
  • Complete measurement documentation
Typical equipment

Final assembly jigs, wing and fuselage sections, sensors on aircraft, engine and driveshaft components, hydraulic and roller test rigs.

Semiconductor & cleanroom

Assembly and alignment tasks under cleanroom conditions, including pre-commissioning.

  • Experience from multibeam mask writer projects
  • Process optimisation in cleanroom assembly
Typical equipment

Multibeam mask writers, electron beam writers, vacuum chambers, vibration-isolated frames, cleanroom installations.

Research & accelerator facilities

Alignment in the sub-millimetre range across linked stations, documented and traceable.

  • Linking via network adjustment and reference points
  • Evaluation in SpatialAnalyzer
Typical equipment

Synchrotron components, bending and quadrupole magnets, injectors, high-vacuum tubes, beam lines, laboratory setups.

Special tasks

Measurement and analysis tasks where standard solutions fall short and technical understanding decides.

  • Test setups and test series
  • Tribological and materials questions
Typical equipment

Test rigs and pilot plants, hydraulic steel structures, robotic and assembly automation, vibration technology.

Your case not listed? Many tasks come down to the same question: where is which component actually located — and what follows from that?
