Supporting the AI Economy: The Role of Precision Metrology for Large Power Generation Engines
Artificial intelligence is one of the largest drivers of global electricity demand. Manufacturers of large crankshafts and camshafts face a distinct challenge: achieving micron level precision on components that can weigh more than a car. Meeting this standard requires not only advanced measurement technology but automated gages specifically engineered for large rotating parts.

Real Time Chatter Analysis – Sliding Window Software
This software solution enables engineers to detect chatter that occurs in only a small angular window of the journal or lobe surface (burst chatter), without diluting the amplitude by analyzing over a larger angular window or over the entire 360⁰.
