Alignment and Straightness Control
High-precision monitoring of alignment and flatness in large structures and guided systems
The challenge
- Particle accelerators, battery lines, rail systems and optical setups require exact alignment over long distances
- Any angular drift, misalignment, or settlement over time can reduce system performance or cause failures
- Large-scale infrastructures need stable, low-drift and scalable systems to track straightness and vertical shifts
- Environments may include humidity, temperature changes, vibration, or restricted access
Our technical response
- Hydrostatic Levelling Systems (HLS) for long-term alignment with micrometric precision
- Wire Positioning Systems (WPS) for horizontal or 2D displacement monitoring over wide spans
- Modular and scalable configurations suited for accelerator halls, tunnels, gantries or bridges
- Proven drift-free performance over months or years, including in vacuum or cleanroom environments
- Custom electronics and acquisition units for multi-point or networked monitoring
Proven applications
- Maintain structural and equipment alignment with micron-level accuracy
- Prevent misalignments and mechanical drift before it affects performance
- Adapt systems to scientific, civil or industrial infrastructures
- Benefit from scalable architectures used in major research facilities
