In industries where performance is dependent on accuracy, laser calibration has become a necessary part of an operation. No matter if it's in aerospace, automotive, or precision engineering, it is essential to get the machine to deliver a precise measurement for quality and efficiency. This is why we use laser interferometers - their capabilities for ultra-precision measurement can help a manufacturer maintain compliance, consistency, and confidence in processes.
We at Roots Metrology work with businesses to offer advanced solutions in laser calibration so your equipment is at its highest potential for precision.
Laser calibration is the method of verifying and ultimately adjusting machine tools, coordinate measuring machines (CMM's), and any precision-based equipment using a highly accurate measurement system. In many precision-based industries, machine measurement is no longer using gauges, but rather, laser interferometers, because it offer the ability to measure without contact with the machine in real time with sub-micron precision.

Unmatched Accuracy - Laser calibration provides sub-micron level accuracy, ensuring machines can operate as designed.
Enhanced Productivity - The use of laser interferometers minimizes measurement errors, which reduces rework and downtime.
Regulatory Compliance - Industries like aerospace and automotive demand compliance with strict calibration standards, and calibration with laser interferometers helps achieve this with ease.
Cost Saving - Proactively identifying an error allows companies to avoid costly breakdowns and extend machine life.
Versatility - Laser interferometers can be used as calibration devices across an array of equipment, including CNC Machines and CMMs.
Why is laser calibration preferred over traditional methods?
Laser interferometers provide higher accuracy, quicker results, and real-time data instead of mechanical gauges.
How often should laser calibration be performed?
The frequency will depend on the machine's use and industry standards, but routine laser calibration will guarantee maximum performance while achieving compliance.
Which industries benefit the most from laser calibration?
Aerospace, automotive, electronics, medical devices, and any industry performing work with high-precision machining or measuring.
In industries focused on precision, small measurement errors can lead to substantial problems. As a result, laser interferometer-based laser calibration guarantees that your machines are always operating at uncompromising accuracy, reliability, and efficiency.
