In previous posts, we have discussed the many ways customers benefit from OASIS owning and using the most advanced metrology tools available today, specifically our fleet of Leica AT960 laser trackers from Hexagon Manufacturing Intelligence. When discussing the capabilities of our laser trackers, we often mention how using the Leica T-Probe in conjunction with the […]
There are numerous factors that can cause damage to aircraft including rough landings, hail storms, turbulence and more. An especially significant threat to aircraft, are bird strikes. A bird strike or BASH (Bird Aircraft Strike Hazard) involves a collision between an aircraft and an airborne animal – typically a bird or a bat. Bird strikes […]
Written by Hubert Meagher, OASIS Director of Metrology Services, this post recently appeared on the Talking Points Blog published by Hexagon Manufacturing Intelligence. In future posts, we will provide additional technical information on the capabilities of our AT960 laser trackers and also delve deeper into the benefits to our customers of our using this innovative laser […]
The misalignment of components within an aluminum extrusion press can cause significant issues such as inconsistent die performance, uneven wear, premature failure or excessive wear of dummy blocks, and in extreme cases, damaged and/or broken stems, containers and tie rods. Misalignment in the press not only causes equipment damage and increased downtime, product issues such […]

Our customers, whether they are pulp and paper manufacturers, corrugators, converters, aerospace component manufacturers or the power generation industry, all rely on one very important service from us – highly accurate, quality, precision measurement. Because of this, it is critical that the metrology instruments used by OASIS engineers and field service technicians are of the […]
With close to 35 years in the field of industrial precision measurement and alignment, the engineering team at OASIS has worked with, tested, researched, and owned almost every precision measurement instrument available – from machinist levels, pi tapes and trammels to optical alignment tooling and 3D metrology instruments such as laser trackers and portable measuring […]
Here at OASIS, we often receive requests for “laser alignment” services. However, this term can apply to several similar, but distinct solutions. In this post, we provide a brief overview of the various tools and technologies that can fall under the category of laser alignment. In future posts, we will delve further into laser alignment […]
A common practice in millwrighting is to lay a hole or layout template over a part – or an area – to mark the location of new holes. Imagine a virtual template that has no bounds and could be adapted to almost any surface or area. Imagine too, that you don’t have to fabricate a […]
We seldom think of overhead or gantry cranes when we think of critical components. However, in many industries the crane is an intrinsic part of the process. If a crane is out of commission, the entire process is in jeopardy and can be forced to shut down. Many issues can be avoided with regular inspections. With […]
