Behind the Measurements

Precision is essential for crane flanges and equipment sitings, where flatness and accurate bolt hole positioning are critical for structural integrity, load distribution, and operational safety. On-site machining is often the best solution for achieving these tolerances; however, it requires high-precision metrology to ensure correct DATUM alignment, hole positioning, and continuous monitoring of the milling process.

At ALTO, we provide expert support for on-site machining activities, leveraging Laser Trackers and advanced metrology solutions to optimize alignment, measurement, and process control.

How ALTO Supports On-Site Machining & Hole Marking

  • DATUM & Alignment Verification – Ensuring precise reference points before machining, reducing errors and improving process efficiency.
  • Flatness & Surface Inspection – Measuring flange surfaces and equipment bases to confirm flatness and parallelism before installation.
  • Bolt Hole Positioning Marking – Using high-accuracy Laser Trackers to define exact hole locations, ensuring proper machine position and drilling.
  • Real-Time Monitoring of Machining Process – Tracking milling machine movements and validating positional accuracy throughout the machining operation.

By integrating advanced metrology with on-site machining, ALTO ensures high-precision results, reducing rework, misalignment risks, and downtime in critical industrial projects.
