Laser Alignment for Aircraft Applications

Laser alignment and measurement solutions for aircraft assembly, maintenance, and service of aircraft engines, wing assemblies and more.


Pinpoint Laser Alignment Systems are actively used in the aviation industry for aircraft assembly, maintenance, service and other task areas. The large geometries typically found on aircraft, coupled with the tight tolerance of fitting parts and assemblies, makes laser alignment and Pinpoint’s Laser Microgage line an ideal choice.

Pinpoint’s laser alignment tools can be used for assembling and maintaining commercial airliners, helicopters, private aircraft and military aircraft. The precision and versatility of the Laser Microgage has led to its strong acceptance as a measuring and laser alignment tool for aircraft sub-assemblies such as engines, wing assemblies, rotor blades and other systems.

“When I took over launchers and started doing rail alignments, I knew that it was extremely important that the rails were straight and true. The Pinpoint Laser Alignment System used at KTF (The Kauai Test Facility operated by Sandia National Laboratories for the Department of Energy) helped me take rail alignments to a much higher level of accuracy than the existing process, and I am very proud of being able to do that using your great system.”
