Bores, turbines, and extruders

Best when you need bore and centerline alignment, especially over longer distances or through multiple bores.

Application	Typical starting system(s)	Why it fits
Boring Bars Bore Alignment	L-706 Boring Bar Alignment System	Designed for portable boring setups where you need a clean reference line to keep the bar and bore on the same centerline.
Cylinders Bore Alignment	L-703B Self-Centering Bore Alignment System	Self-centering setup speeds alignment when you’re working on repeating bores and need fast, consistent centerline results.
Engine Block Bores Bore Alignment	L-703B Self-Centering Bore Alignment System	Built for engine-block style bores where quick self-centering setup helps reduce setup time across multiple bore positions.
Heat Exchangers Bore Alignment	L-706 Bore Laser System	Works well for tube and bundle alignment where you need straight-line verification through long, repetitive passages.
Line Boring Bore Alignment	L-705 Hinge Line Laser Alignment System	Long-range reference line supports large-bore and multi-station setups where maintaining centerline over distance is the priority.
Turbines Power Generation	L-706 Steam Turbine Alignment System	Supports turbine bore and casing work where repeatable centerline checks help reduce rework during reassembly and outage schedules.
Single Barrel Extruders Plastics Machinery	L-705 Extruder Laser Alignment Borescope	Helps establish and hold barrel centerline so the gearbox, barrel, and downstream tooling stay aligned through the full machine length.
Twin-Barrel Extruders Plastics Machinery	L-703B Twin-Barrel Extruder Laser Alignment Borescope	Useful when two parallel bores must track together; the workflow focuses on keeping both barrels aligned to a shared centerline reference.

Machine tools and spindle alignment

Best for CNC geometry, straightness/squareness, and spindle alignment/verification on machine tools and large equipment.

Application	Typical starting system(s)	Why it fits
Aircraft Assembly Aerospace	L-733 Precision Triple Scan® Laser Alignment System	Multi-plane measurements help verify straightness and squareness across large assemblies where minor geometry errors compound during build-up.
Gantries and Spar Mills Aerospace	L-743 Ultra-Precision Triple Scan® Laser Alignment System	Built for large machine envelopes where ultra-precision geometry verification supports repeatable accuracy across long travel distances.
Small CNC Machining Centers / Milling Machines / Gantries Automotive	L-702SP 5-Axis Machine Tool & Spindle Alignment System	Good fit when you need both axis geometry checks and spindle sweep verification to diagnose part issues and restore machine performance.
Machining Centers Machine Tools	L-743 Ultra-Precision Triple Scan® Laser Alignment System	Supports full-machine geometry work where verifying level, squareness, and straightness improves axis agreement and overall part quality.
Lathes Machine Tools	L-703S 4-Axis Lathe & Turning-Center Spindle Alignment Laser System	Focused on spindle and centerline alignment so the headstock-to-tailstock relationship stays true for turning accuracy and repeatable setups.
Transfer-Line Spindles Automotive	L-700 Spindle Laser Alignment System	Purpose-built for verifying spindle alignment across stations where small misalignment can drive tool wear, scrap, and inconsistent cycle results.

Rolls, converting, and sawmills

Best for roll and line alignment where you need repeatable parallelism with fewer setups across many rolls/stations.

Application	Typical starting system(s)	Why it fits
Film Lines Plastics Machinery	L-742 Ultra-Precision Dual-Scan® Roll Alignment System	Helps maintain roll-to-roll geometry in web processes where small angle errors show up as tracking, wrinkles, and tension issues.
Blown-Film Line Plastics Machinery	L-732 Precision Dual Scan® Laser Roll Alignment System	Fast dual-plane scanning supports repeatable roll alignment across multiple stations without constant repositioning between measurements.
Roll Alignment Roll Alignment	L-732 Precision Dual-Scan® Roll Alignment System, L-742 Ultra-Precision Dual-Scan® Roll Alignment System	Designed for multi-roll lines where you need quick parallelism checks and a clear upgrade path when tighter tolerances are required.
Sawmills Sawmills	L-743 Ultra-Precision Triple Scan® Laser Alignment System	Supports sawline alignment where straightness and squareness across long runs helps improve cut consistency and reduce drift over time.
