Precision Measurement

When Every Thousandth Counts

At True North Metrology & Alignment, our precision measurement services are built for industries where accuracy isn’t optional—it’s essential. We use advanced laser tracker technology and 3D metrology software to capture highly accurate measurements for complex machinery, critical components, and large-scale systems.

From equipment setting and diagnostics to baseplate elevation and large equipment setup, our team delivers the data you need to make confident, high-stakes decisions. We deliver 3D models, providing accuracy and detailed visualizations. Whether it’s verifying tolerances, identifying misalignments, or ensuring equipment meets performance standards, we make sure every thousandth counts.

Precision Alignment and Measurement You Can Trust

True North Metrology & Alignment delivers precision measurement services and expert machine alignment for industries where accuracy directly impacts performance—like paper production, automotive manufacturing, aerospace development, chemical processing, steel fabrication, food production, and high-tolerance machining.

We leverage portable laser tracker systems and 3D metrology to bring cutting-edge measurement capability directly to your plant floor. This on-site approach ensures quick feedback loops, limits production interruptions, and captures the data essential for critical setups and ongoing diagnostics.

Each of our services is designed to address demanding industry requirements. By employing advanced 3D tracking, we can generate precise point-cloud data to compare manufactured parts against CAD models—helping you catch deviations early. Our baseplate elevation assessments ensure heavy equipment is level and stable, safeguarding both performance and safety. With our QC-focused verification services, we support compliance with rigorous quality standards by delivering traceable, real-time measurements. This focus on quality control not only ensures precision—it drives efficiency, reduces rework and scrap, and helps extend equipment life.

Beyond measurement, our precision alignment expertise is critical to avoiding common industrial issues like misaligned shafts, which can cause excess wear, vibration, energy drain, and unexpected downtime. Using 3D metrology software, we align rotating machinery to spec—reducing stress on components like bearings and seals, improving energy efficiency, and extending the operational lifespan of your equipment. Whether installing a new production line or maintaining critical rotating assets, our services help keep your plant running reliably, efficiently, and profitably.

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.
