Geometry and Alignments

Proper machine tool level and alignment is absolutely essential to maintaining long term machine tool integrity and the ability to consistently produce quality parts.  Our machine alignment/geometry restoration program will return the machine to original alignment specifications. 

The Process

During the alignment process we will precision grind the way system on a Waldrich Colberg grinder to restore pitch, yaw and roll characteristics. All Turcite®, Rulon®  is replaced with new.  If the system is a linear guide application we will replace the existing linear guide rails and trucks with new.  The bearing surfaces are precision hand scraped by our alignment specialists. 

The spindle is precision fit to proper running clearances.  The spindle bearings are replaced with new “state of the art” precision bearings.  All seals and way wipers are replaced with new.  The lubrication system is reconditioned, repaired or replaced.  Each way bearing surface is inspected to ensure proper flow and volume.  The machine is precision leveled using our Mahr-Federal electronic levels to within 8 arc seconds for pitch and roll.  Each machine can be aligned according to a variety of formats including but not limited to: NMTBA, ASME B5.54 or ISO specifications.

We have several factory trained scraper hands on our team. Our calibration equipment is traceable to N.I.S.T. and certified annually. Contact us to see how our expertise can assist you with meeting your accuracy objectives.
