Automotive Tooling Inspection and Adjustment with the Radian Laser Tracker
Automotive fixtures drive fit and finish, but inspecting them with a traditional CMM workflow is slow and disruptive. This case study shows how API’s Radian laser tracker was used to verify locating-pin positions, compare to CAD, and guide real-time adjustment on the line.
A Smarter Way to Inspect a Massive Rotary Reaction Furnace
A 10,000-ton rotary reaction furnace leaves very little room for alignment error, especially when the body is built in sections and joined on site. This case study shows how API’s Radian laser tracker helped the team measure, align, and install the furnace with tighter control and less guesswork.

Industrial robot calibration restores positioning accuracy lost to drift, thermal error, and wrist wear. On-site ISO 9283 testing by Real Metrologists.
A Smarter Way to Measure Steel Bridge Joint Surfaces
When large steel bridge sections come together, the mating surfaces have to stay flat enough to support safe assembly and long-term load performance. This case study shows how API’s Radian laser tracker helped the team measure those surfaces faster, guide corrective work, and cut inspection time dramatically.
A Smarter Way to Test Orthopedic Surgery Robot Performance
Orthopedic surgery robots do not get much margin for error, especially during emergency-stop events. This case study shows how API used the Radian Pro laser tracker to validate robot accuracy, repeatability, and stop behavior with a cleaner, data-driven workflow.
A Smarter Way to Inspect Large Marine Generators
Large marine generators have to run reliably in demanding conditions, which means rotor and stator geometry cannot be left to guesswork. This case study shows how the API Radian Plus laser tracker helped tackle a difficult marine-generator inspection job with speed, accuracy, and a much simpler workflow.
A Smarter 3D Measurement Approach for Large Petroleum Equipment
When large petroleum equipment drifts out of alignment, the cost of inaccuracy adds up fast. This case study shows how the API Radian laser tracker helps teams inspect, align, and verify critical components with the speed and precision that large-scale equipment demands.
Using the Radian Laser Tracker for Bucyrus 495HR Mining Excavator Maintenance
Bucyrus 495HR mining excavators operate under extreme loads, making precise maintenance essential. This case study shows how API laser trackers support dimensional inspection, alignment, geometric tolerance verification, and post-repair condition monitoring in the field.
