We at Brunson Instrument live in a specialized world of industrial measurement. We deal with the measurement problems faced by people who build, inspect, or maintain fairly large machines - machines like aircraft, paper mills, satellites, ships, machine tools, particle accelerators, and automobiles, to name a very few. They have very unique measurement problems. For example, aircraft makers must be able to tell if the curvature of their wing is made to blueprint and whether it will fit on the fuselage being built elsewhere; and paper mill operators need to know if their rolls are all parallel - all the way down a machine which may be a thousand feet long. And they need to know these things within thousandths of an inch. Obviously, the problem is the size of the items combined with the tiny measurement tolerances required. There are any number of high-precision benchtop measuring devices out there, but airplane wings and paper mills cannot be brought into a measurement laboratory to be put on a bench top. Welcome to the world of portable, high-precision, large-scale, 3-dimensional measurement and alignment products.
