Ultra Precision Alignment of Guide Rails

Jul 18, 2011 1 Replies

I need to hold .001 in. xyz tol. for a 4 meter long set of four guide rails. This is a heavy gauge formed bend/welded sheetmetal system. This type of construction was designed for low cost and I need a low cost method to achieve the listed tolerances. I am looking for ideas to ether fabricate the structure with the listed tolerances or find a good way to align the rails post fabrication.



Anyone have experience with a problem like this or good Ideas/ technology that can be used?


Over what temp range? Is this a realistic requirement which can be realistically verified?
