Also included are laser alignment tools for the positioning of gauge heads, part leveling and fixturing with a 25,000 pound (11,000 Kg) capacity, gauge head articulators and fixturing details.</B></div> <bR> <div> <B>Measurement is via Turbine Metrology's Paragon PG-4 Circular Geometry Inspection system. Paragon can take up to 5,000,000 measurements on each of four or more surfaces simultaneously to completely characterize the part in the way no CMM or other CGI system can.</B></div> <bR> <div> <B>This workstation was supplied as a turnkey assembly. Turbine Metrology can supply Paragon workstations for a complete range of component sizes -- from less than a pound (.5 Kg) to 50,000 pounds (22,500 Kg), or any of the individual component parts of the system.</B></div> <bR> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div> <B>“Paragon” is a registered trademark of Turbine Metrology LLC.
