All equipment is portable and can be installed on site.
By moving the receiver to different positions, it is possible to measure the height deviation to the reference line.

The bore centre is determined by rotating the analogue distance gauge attached to the receiver around the bore. In case a full rotation is not possible due to some obstruction, the centre can be also determined by a smaller rotation angle.

Maximum measuring distance is 30m with a laser accuracy of 0.005mm/m.

Bore laser alignment measurements can be combined with other alignment measurements, such as, bearing reaction measurements (Jackup tests) crankshaft deflection measurements, Pianowire or laser straightness measurements in order to get the overall picture of the installation.

YOUR BENEFITS
High accuracy fast alignment measurements are used to verify theoretically calculated values.
Laser alignment gives correct results even when the vessel is under floating condition.
We are able to provide full alignment packages including bore alignment measurements.

OUR SERVICES
• Alignment check of bearing channel
• Measurement of bore shape and inclination
• Measurement of cylinder liner roundness
• Alignment engine to tailshaft bearings

Plane measurements: The laser can be rotated 360 degrees by a rotation mirror. By moving the receiver within the plane, the distance relative to the rotation plane is recorded.

Axis Plane Alignment is possible after removing the rotating mirror. The laser direction becomes rectangular to the rotation plane.

The three dimensional shape of the measured plane can be visualized.
Straightness measurements are possible up to 30meters and flatness measurements are possible up to 10 meters.

Flatness measurements can provide corrections for In-Situ machining.

YOUR BENEFITS
High accuracy fast alignment measurements are used to verify theoretically calculated values. 
Laser alignment gives correct results even when the vessel under in floating condition. 
We are able to provide the full alignment packages including plane alignment measurements.

OUR SERVICES
Straightness measurement of one axis:
• Engine bedplate SAG measurement 
• Guiderail straightness

Flatness measurement of a plane:
• Bedplate height alignment
• Crane pedestal alignment measurement
• Inspection of machined large components
• Engine foundation measurement
• Rectangular alignment axis-plane

Steering gear-propeller shaft alignment

OUR CAPABILITIES
- Measurement of shaftline shape by use of laser, V-blocks and angle transmitters
- By moving the receiver to different positions it is possible to measure the height deviation from the reference laser line to the shaft surface. 
- The Shaft centre is determined by measuring the shaft diameter.
- Different shaft diameters can be compensated by shims.

A coupling condition check is carried out by attaching a laser and receiver on each flange. By rotating both flanges by several degrees the SAG and GAP values are calculated.

YOUR BENEFITS
High accuracy fast alignment measurements are used to verify theoretically calculated values.
Laser alignment gives correct results even when the vessel under in floating condition. We are able to provide the full alignment packages including shaft alignment, measurements.

OUR SERVICES
Shaftline straightness measurement
Camshaft alignment

Coupling measurement Sag & Gap:
• Hot coupling condition check between Generator Engine and Alternator
• Alignment of every rotating flange connection 

OUR CAPABILITIES
Metallurgical & Replica Analysis: Metallurgical microscope (50x – 1’000x magnification) and image analysis software is used to report the component condition. A portable microscope camera (up to 300x magnification) and surface replicas enable on site inspections of components that cannot be moved to the laboratory.

Mechanical Testing: Mechanical properties of component can be tested according to ISO and ASTM standards.

Non Destructive Examination: Liquid Penetration, Magnetic Particle and Ultrasonic testing can help to identify defects before they cause problems without destroying the component or sample.

Root Cause Analysis(RCA): Documentation of the RCA is done by use of Apollo RCA Software.

Our trained and certified experts can carry out accurate thermography measurements and report results with recommendations for immediate rectification. Rectifications can also be carried out by our electrical experts upon availability of required spare parts.
A thermal imaging camera is a reliable non contact instrument which is able to scan and visualize the temperature distribution of entire surfaces of machinery and electrical equipment quickly, accurately and safely.

YOUR BENEFITS
Quick identification of machinery installations for fulfilment of the SOLAS requirements in regard to surface temperatures and shielding which can be carried out without disturbance of ongoing machinery operation. 
A bad connection results in increased resistance and the current flow generates excessive temperature that can be detected with infrared thermography. 
If not rectified, this connection or component might break and cause much bigger damage.
