Hydroelectric - Capabilities

Since 1994 our staff have been applying leading edge dimensional metrology systems in the hydro-electric industry. Our capabilities include but are not limited to the following:

Runner measurement with tracker

  • Shaft alignment
Angular offset to ±0.005mm/m
Electronic tilt sensors
Orbit measurement
  • Machine and component dimensioning, shape and form
±0.005mm/m
Diameters, Cylindricity
Stator, Rotor, Runner
  • Concentricity
Stator, Rotor, Shafts, Runner, Seals, Bearings
  • Flatness
Turbine and Generator shaft faces, Sole plates
  • Disassembly and reassembly checks
±0.005mm/m - Dimensional, Position, Alignment
  • Positioning
±0.005mm/m
  • Dynamic measurement
Rotating component movement and deformation
  • Measurement system development for specific requirements


Our measurement systems are mobile and flexible. We are able to provide accurate and timely dimensional measurement solutions with an array of technologies including Leica Geosystems’ Laser Tracker. Along with the analysis software, Axyz, this system is state of the art 3D measurement system. 

ADS is committed to providing dimensional measurement solutions to meet clients individual and special requests.
