Halfbore or fullbore – no bore for our instruments

Bore measurements

Straightness with the Clock Method

Typical applications are full bore measurements, e.g. bearing journals for compressors and in diesel engines.

How to do a straightness measurement with the Clock Method

When measuring straightness with the clock method, you set the laser beam roughly parallel to a centerline. The center position of each bore can be measured by taking readings with the receiver in two points, 180° apart.

Two points can be used as references. The program allows for up to 99 points to be measured.

1. Configuration

  • Quick and easy to configure
  • Pre-defined configuration

2. Measurement

  • Distinct overall view of the measurement
  • Instant display of measurement object’s position
  • Color-coded measurement points
  • Measurement points can be registered in any order you prefer

3. Adjustment

  • Live values during the adjustment phase
  • The angle guide displays the accepted (green) measurement point registration area
  • Green arrows show you in which direction to adjust towards zero
  • Color-coded measurement values

Straightness with the Arc Angle Method

Typical applications are half bore measurements, e.g. compressors and turbines with split casings.

How to do a straightness measurement with the arc angle method

Straightness measurements with the Arc Angle method are made by setting the laser beam roughly parallel to a centerline.
Two points are used as references. The sensor is placed in three to nine positions at each measurement point to find the center of the measurement object. For the Arc Angle measurements, the detector is in a single-axes mode.

The program allows for up to 99 points to be measured.
