3D Bore Alignment and Measurement Solutions

Bore alignment is the process of aligning circular, cylindrical or other geometric shaped bores to each other and or to other features so that they are straight, concentric, parallel, perpendicular, level and plumb depending on the application.

Unlike traditional alignment methods using piano wire, alignment telescopes and 2d laser optics, ROTATEK field engineers utilize 3D portable coordinate measuring machines (PCMM) including Laser Trackers and Articulating Arms for unparalleled accuracy, precision and measurement acquisition time.

Precision bore alignment services and precision measurement solutions include internal turbine alignment, bearing bore alignment, bearing pedestal alignment, diesel engine crankcase & cylinder bore alignment, compressor crosshead guide bore alignment, pump casing bore alignment and more.

Turbine Internal Bore Alignment

Turbine casing bores, diaphragms, oil deflectors, bearings and other components are measured with the laser tracker for fast and accurate 3D measurements.

Geometric Alignment

Alignment of machine components are easily measured no matter how large and precision moves can be monitored live.

3D Alignment

Advanced laser tracker technology and innovative measurement solutions allows Rotatek to perform 3D alignments with unparalleled accuracy, precision and speed.

3D Measurements

Laser trackers operate by measuring two angles and a distance. The tracker sends a laser beam to a retroreflective target held against the object being measured. As light is reflected off the target, it bounced back and re-enters the tracker at the same position it left and is measured by a distance meter, measuring the distance between the tracker and target.

Distance Measurement

The tracker sends a laser beam to a retroreflective target held against the object to be measured. The reflectedbeam returns to the tracker and its precise distance is recorded.

3D Measurement

Two angle encoders measure the elevation and rotational angles while a highly accurate absolute distance meter is used to determine the 3D position of the target. This position is shown in the software as an X, Y, Z value.

Tracking

The target returns the reflected laser beam parallel but offset back to the tracker where it hits the position detector, which calculates the offset between the outgoing and incoming beam. Servo motors continuously (thousands of times per second) steer the tracker’s head to minimize the offset between the two beams, resulting in high-speed, dynamic measurements.
