OASIS Alignment Services Standardizes Metrology Fleet

Hexagon Manufacturing Intelligence has announced that OASIS Alignment Services, LLC (Rochester, NH) has standardized its large metrology fleet on Leica Absolute AT960 laser trackers and Leica T-Probes. OASIS is a provider of 3-D metrology, optical alignment and mechanical services with eight regional service centers throughout North America. The company serves a spectrum of industries: pulp and paper, plastics and film, coating and laminating, nonwovens and textiles, power generation, aerospace, automotive and more. After one year of field testing two Leica AT960s in every customer case scenario, the company experienced 100% uptime with the portable measurement technology. OASIS has now retooled its entire field enterprise, moving from traditional laser trackers to the 6DOF technology of the Leica AT960 paired with the Leica T-Probe.

OASIS engineers and field service technicians use precision optical tooling and 3-D measurement technologies including laser trackers and laser scanners. Uptime of portable metrology equipment is vital to efficiently solving problems in the field and minimizing customer downtime. "OASIS no longer requires back-up spares in its metrology fleet based on the dependability of the Leica AT960 trackers. The Leica 6DOF technology has also provided increased accuracy for large-volume measurement tasks with much faster set-up times," said a Hexagon Manufacturing Intelligence spokesperson. The wireless, handheld Leica T-Probe can access hard-to-reach points and gather data at a high point acquisition rate without multiple set-ups. Leica PowerLock technology automatically locks onto any moving target without user intervention. OASIS operators can move freely and focus solely on measuring, even in crowded job sites, without the worry of reestablishing a line-of-sight with the laser beam. "The overall improved speed of measurement and `one person' operation of the Leica T-Probe 6DOF solution has positively impacted OASIS field completion rates," said the spokesperson.

"Reliable, failure free equipment performance is critical to our customers' success, as well as our own success in providing solutions to our customers. It also provides peace of mind, as our field service technicians constantly face challenging jobs in formidable environments," said Brian Hiltunen, OASIS President. "Our partnership with Hexagon Manufacturing Intelligence has given us access to laser tracker technology with high precision measurement capabilities and dependability in the field. This transition has enabled us to maintain 100% uptime with 13% fewer trackers in our fleet."
