Surface flatness Used in combination with the ALIGNMENT CENTER PC software, INCLINEO® measures surface flatness of engine blocks, compressor frames or machine bases quickly and easily Foundation levelness The INCLINEO® absolute measurement is used to determine foundation levelness Straightness and parallelism Straightness is measured by taking points along a line. The â Groupâ function within the software enables the evaluation of parallelism of the rails Machine tools The instrumentâ s high precision makes it ideal for measuring machine geometries, especially for quality control. Shaft plumbness In calculating shaft plumbness, INCLINEO® compares two measurements taken at opposite shaft positions. Depending on the application, this is done by either rotating the shaft or positioning INCLINEO® at the two opposite sides
