Alignment
Rotating equipment will not be reliable if the alignment between the driving and driven shaft centerlines does not form a straight line. Misalignment causes up to 50% of machinery vibrations and should not be underestimated. Investing in alignment can prove to be extremely beneficial for maintenance budgets, often, with an immediate and noticeable ROI.
- Excessive wear on mechanical components
- Premature breakdown of equipment
- Costly downtime
- Bearing & seal damage
- Shaft bends
- Unbalance of rotating components
- Machinery soft-foot conditions

FARO Tracker (Dimensional Tolerancing)
FARO Tracker (Dimensional Tolerancing) Our FARO Tracker service offers highly accurate measurements tailored for Geometric Dimensioning & Tolerancing (GD&T) applications. This technology ensures your components meet strict dimensional tolerances by comparing as-is parts to their original design drawings. Common applications include:
- Measuring the size of holes and flatness of surfaces.
- Analyzing angles between features.
- Checking concentricity of bores and shaft runouts.
- Machinery Isolation
- With FARO Tracker, you can trust that every detail of your project is verified for precision, ensuring reliability and optimal performance.
FARO Scanning (Point Clouds, Reverse Engineering, and More)
Our FARO Scanning service provides versatile solutions for a variety of needs. Using cutting-edge scanning technology, we can capture large areas or intricate components, delivering detailed point cloud data and actionable insights. Common applications include:
- Point Cloud Generation - Scanning engine rooms, building interiors, piping systems, and more to provide accurate and comprehensive 3D representations.
- Reverse Engineering - Scanning fabricated parts to create meshes, overlay CAD models, and identify deviations for quality control.
- Restoration and Reproduction - Reconstructing broken or obsolete components by scanning fragments, creating CAD models of the original design, and preparing the data for manufacturing (CNC or manual fabrication).
- Whether it's inspecting machinery, ensuring precision in construction, or recreating legacy components, FARO Scanning helps you achieve flexibility and accuracy in your projects.
