Large scale Metrology
Critical Component Positioning & Alignment
Session Focus: A practical overview of how laser trackers, total stations, and terrestrial laser scanners enable first-time-right installation of large industrial components. Participants will learn how to control, measure, align, correct, and verify critical equipment throughout fabrication and construction.
Key Takeaways
•Understand metrology’s role in reducing rework and installation risk
•Build accurate control networks for large-scale measurement
•Predict alignment issues through virtual fit-up
•Diagnose and correct misfitting parts using digital workflows
•Verify precise placement during installation
•Use scanning for context, planning, and as-built validation
