Industries We Serve

True North Metrology & Alignment supports a wide range of industries where precision is critical to safety, efficiency, and performance. From complex manufacturing lines to heavy industrial machinery, our team delivers top-notch measurement and alignment services that minimize downtime and maximize equipment life. Whether in paper mills, aerospace facilities, food processing plants, chemical facilities, automotive plants, steel mills, or machine shops, we tailor our solutions to meet the unique demands of each environment.

Manufacturing

In fast-paced manufacturing environments, precision directly impacts equipment reliability, production metrics, and product quality. True North delivers expert measurement and alignment services that keep complex machinery running smoothly and within spec.

Heavy Industrial

Heavy industrial systems demand extreme tolerances to avoid costly downtime and equipment wear. True North specializes in aligning large-scale machinery and structural components to ensure reliable, efficient operation under even the toughest of conditions.

Paper Mills

Paper mills rely on perfectly aligned rolls, dryers, and cutter systems to maintain quality and prevent costly equipment downtime. True North’s precision measurement and alignment services are designed to keep these critical systems reliable and operating at peak performance.

Food Processing Plants

In food production, consistent alignment ensures smooth, sanitary, and efficient operation. True North supports food processing facilities with accurate, non-invasive measurement and machine alignment solutions tailored to strict industry requirements.

Chemical Plants

Complex piping systems, pumps, and rotating equipment in chemical plants require meticulous alignment to maintain reliability, safety, and process integrity. True North provides precision measurement services that support regulatory compliance and uninterrupted performance.

Aerospace Facilities

In aerospace, precision isn’t optional—it’s mission critical. From aircraft assembly lines to testing facilities, True North supports aerospace operations with cutting-edge measurement and alignment services that meet the industry's highest standards. We help ensure structural accuracy, equipment reliability, and performance consistency across sensitive components and systems where even the smallest deviation can compromise safety or efficiency.

Automotive Plants

Automotive manufacturing relies on seamless production lines and tightly calibrated systems to maintain speed, safety, and quality. True North provides precision measurement and alignment solutions that support everything from stamping and welding systems to robotics and conveyor infrastructure. By keeping components in perfect sync, we help automotive plants improve reliability, reduce downtime, and maintain strict quality control standards.

Steel Mills

Steel mills present some of the harshest alignment challenges. Excessive vibration and thermal growth can wreak havoc on equipment and degrade product quality. Our on-site alignment and measurement solutions help steel mills achieve proper roll, stand, and drive-train alignment—reducing downtime, improving throughput, and protecting valuable capital equipment.

Machine Shops

High-tolerance machining operations demand precise calibration and alignment of machine tools. We use advanced 3D metrology software and portable laser trackers to level, square, and align lathes, mills, grinders, and other critical assets. We can also assist in the setup of large parts that are beyond the reach of typical machinist hand tools. This ensures consistent machining accuracy, reduces scrap, and enhances your shop’s ability to meet customer specifications on every project.

Recent Projects

At True North Metrology & Alignment, our work is best understood through the projects we’ve completed in the field. From large-scale industrial alignments to precision measurement in demanding environments, each project reflects our commitment to accuracy and reliability. Take a look at some of the recent work we’ve done for clients across a range of industries.

Precision Equipment Setting

True North Metrology and Alignment recently supported a capital project at a chemical facility in Southwest Louisiana. We partnered with an industrial contractor and OEM during the installation of a 48-foot kiln in the catalyst production area. Given the high precision required, we were brought in to meet strict alignment specifications. Working closely with the OEM, we focused on aligning the trunnion rollers that support and guide the kiln. Using advanced metrology tools, we delivered real-time data to align the rollers within five thousandths of an inch. This level of accuracy was essential to the kiln’s performance and longevity.

Our work helped ensure the successful commissioning of the new kiln, enabling reliable operation and reducing maintenance downtime. It’s another example of how True North provides critical alignment solutions in complex industrial environments.

Industrial Equipment Alignment

True North Metrology and Alignment recently completed a precision measurement project at a paper mill in central Arkansas. Our team was brought in to collect detailed alignment data on a critical section of dryer cans within the facility’s paper machine. With production efficiency and equipment longevity in mind, the facility needed accurate positional data to determine whether any components had shifted out of alignment and required adjustment during the upcoming scheduled outage. Using advanced laser metrology tools and alignment protocols, we delivered high-resolution, reliable measurements that allowed the client to make informed decisions about potential corrections.

Our contribution provided the mill’s maintenance and engineering teams with a clear understanding of current conditions—reducing guesswork, improving planning, and helping avoid unnecessary downtime. Projects like this highlight the value of precision alignment services in optimizing performance and preventing costly surprises during major shutdowns.
