Calibrating System for Jet Engine Assembly

Microgage 2D for Measuring large steel plates

During the assembly of a jet engine, the orientation of parts and sub-assemblies are critical. A specialized measuring machine is able to reach into specific locations on the engine and verify that parts and assemblies are in their proper position and orientation. The Pinpoint Microgage 2000 system has been selected as a calibration tool for checking these systems and Pinpoint’s engineering team was given the task to build a calibration laser that will sit precisely on a registration table and project a laser reference beam straight upwards. The Microgage 2000 digital receiver is placed on the moving tool and the display tracks the precise position of the tool for calibration. The Microgage 2000 display is attached to a computer for downloading measurement information and statistics about the alignment of the equipment. Pinpoint has a vast range of experience in repackaging lasers, receivers and building mounts for specific customer applications.

Our Customers Say

"We actually used it (Cylindrical Laser) for aligning the Power Rollers the turbine rotor sits on during inspections and testing. It went extremely well. Didn’t suffer the delays we encountered last year when the turbine rotor shouldered up on the power roller (cost us about 20 hours). It has already paid for itself. Thanks for your help."

"We purchased the Microgage 2000 and the Lateral Pitch Plate for measuring flatness, parallelism, and other applications. We have been extremely satisfied with the entire process. The quality of the parts we received is of the highest order and the accuracy of the measurements is truly spectacular."

"This is just an update for you and a testimony to the great help that your product was in assisting us during our installation and maintenance work and shutdown periods. We installed the wedge blocks with ease and they performed in the very same manner. Great product!"

Jeffery W. Evans
Westinghouse Electric Co, LLC

"We are having great success with this unit (Microgage 2D Universal Kit) in moving my machines this year."

Martin Usher
Apollo Machine

"The sales department was very knowledgeable and the technical department was very thorough. The Microgage 2000 was exactly what we needed. We are extremely happy with the results."

Dr. Joshua R. Williams
Senior Scientist
XStream Systems, Inc.

"One thing that stands out and has been commented on by all who have seen the equipment is its design and build quality. It is a beautifully engineered and built piece of equipment, which is a pleasure to use. Well Done!"

Nenad Sarcevic, Engineer
Airbus UK

"We purchased the Microgage 2000 Universal Kit to align a test apparatus so that the floor of the test tank and the left wall are straight down their respective lengths of 80 feet to 0.0002 inch or better. The floor and left wall also had to be perpendicular to each other

The laser system worked extremely well, proving us and our customer the confidence that the installation when as planned within the tolerances."

"We have been using your equipment regularly to align our scanners for last 4 years with excellent results! After using these we actually wonder how we could align our scanners with out using this tool! These have indeed helped us to improve our sensors measurement accuracy many fold."

Manish Garg
Jasch Industries Ltd.

"We have been very pleased with its (Microgage 2D) performance, as well as Ken Nelson's advice and help. It is quite likely we will be purchasing other units in the future."
