Alignment News
Volume I, Issue 1, April 2010

I hope you enjoy our very first issue of Alignment News. It is our intent to provide information that you can use to improve the reliability of the machines you use on a daily basis, increase the accuracy of your machines, and increase your operational efficiency. At Morley, it is our mission to provide precision measurement solutions with the most up to date technology; to bring an all-inclusive problem solving approach with unrivaled attention to detail and customer requirements; and to be part of the solution that gets the job done right with minimal interruption. I hope this monthly newsletter will provide you insight into the complexities of metrology systems and solutions, and how a volumetric approach and attention to detail adds value to your operation.

Why Check a New Machine?

Why would you need to check a brand new machine for accuracy? If you ask one our customers in Oregon, they could tell you. Morley had been certifying machines for this undisclosed medical device manufacturer for several years when they called to have two new machines checked for linear and rotary accuracy. It turned out the machines had an underlying problem that needed to be resolved prior to putting the machines into

production. [read entire article ]

Morley Rebuilt 6-Spindle Wilson is Pride of the Fleet at PMW

This large multi-spindle milling machine was originally built in the 1960’s with cast iron box ways designed with hydrostatic lift capabilities. This allows the bridge and table to float on a thin film of

oil, enabling the machine to handle the weight of the 50-ton bridge assembly. The table has the same features and weighs in at 30 tons with the riser blocks and parts. These features make this type of machine a valuable CNC retrofit candidate for the machining of hard metals such as super alloys and titanium. [read entire article ]

Sun Valley Pavilion: Laser Tracker Triples Productivity

A recent project for Morley was for the new Sun Valley Music Pavilion in Sun Valley, Idaho, the new home of the Sun Valley Summer Symphony. This superstructure contains a 3,000-square foot concert stage and an amphitheater that seats an audience of 1,500.

Morley was contracted by Jesse Engineering Co. of Tacoma, Washington to lay out feature locations on the massive steel framework.

Traditional measuring methods were not a preferred option for this job since the structure’s framework had many complex curves with cross member supports joining at many different angles.
