Next week is IMTS 2026.

For Hamar Laser, IMTS is a big one.

We’ll be bringing a wide range of our laser alignment systems to Chicago for applications including machine tool geometry, spindle alignment, bore alignment, flatness, leveling, shaft alignment and other precision measurement applications.

More importantly, you’ll be able to see the systems set up and working and talk directly with our alignment specialists about your application.

If you have a machine geometry or alignment problem that has been difficult to measure, bring it with you. Those are the conversations we want to have.

IMTS 2026
September 14–19
McCormick Place, Chicago
Quality Assurance Pavilion
East Building, Level 3
Booth 134629

Moving a machine means checking it again.

Even if a machine is moved only a few feet, there is no guarantee its geometry will remain exactly where it was.

The machine has been lifted and set back down. Its contact points with the floor have changed. The foundation may be different. All of that can affect alignment.

Leveling is important, but level alone doesn’t tell you whether the machine’s axes are still straight, square and parallel.

Before putting a relocated machine back into production, verify the geometry. With the right measurement tools, you can even document the machine before the move and compare its condition after installation.

Happy Labor Day from Hamar Laser!

In recognition of Labor Day, Hamar Laser will be closed Monday, September 7.

We appreciate the hard work of our employees, customers, distributors, and everyone across manufacturing and industry who keeps things moving every day.

Our offices will reopen Tuesday, September 8.

We hope everyone has a safe and enjoyable Labor Day.

Why Is Everyone Focused on Checking Parts?

95% of the companies in the IMTS Metrology Pavilion sell products to check part quality. A handful of these companies sell products that check the machines that make the parts.

This is a disconnect.

No matter how often or how well you check your parts, if the machine has geometric errors, those parts are not going to improve. Why let the quality of your parts tell you it’s time to check your machines for geometric errors?

There is a better way.

Come check out our geometric alignment lasers and see how we can help change your quality process from firefighting to fire prevention.

When should you check machine geometry?

Don’t wait until your parts tell you there’s a problem.

Machines move, wear and change over time. Components wear. Foundations settle. Even a machine that is still producing acceptable parts may no longer be where it was when installed.

Checking machine geometry should be part of keeping the machine capable of making good parts; not the last step after scrap, repeat corrections and troubleshooting.

Modern laser alignment systems make geometry checks faster, helping manufacturers verify the machine before problems start accumulating.

One of the systems we will be highlighting for IMTS 2026 is the L-703S 4-Axis Lathe and Turning-Center Spindle Alignment Laser System.

Lathe and turning-center checks can be slow with test bars and indicators, especially when the machine is large or the tolerance is high.

The L-703S is built to be user friendly for verifying spindle alignment and related machine geometry, offering real-time 4-axis alignment data, giving teams a faster and more repeatable way to confirm the geometry behind the cut.

Bore alignment gets expensive when the setup depends too much on operator skill.

Hard-to-reach bores, long centerlines, and outdated measurement methods can make the job tedious, time-consuming, and difficult to repeat.

A better bore alignment setup reduces the amount of operator technique required and makes it easier to get repeatable results from one job to the next.

The goal isn’t just to get the alignment done. It’s to finish the job with confidence that it’s right and move on to the next one.

Geometry problems rarely make themsleves known easily. They usually show up as longer setups, more scrap, poor finishes, tool wear, or parts that become harder to hold tolerance.
By the time someone starts checking machine geometry, your process has often been fighting the problem for weeks or months.

If you are coming to IMTS, stop by Booth 134629 and let’s talk about how we can help you proactively find geometry problems before they show up in your parts. Checking geometry on machine tools is not time consuming as it used to be. There is a better way.

If we can help you find the cause before the scrap pile grows, then the trip was worth it.

Offsets are useful. They are not a substitute for stable machine geometry.

When the same correction keeps coming back, or the machine needs more compensation than it used to, the issue may be deeper than the tool, program, or setup.

Geometry verification helps confirm whether the machine reference is still trustworthy.

Squareness checks are just as important as machine leveling but a whole lot more difficult.

Standard methods, such as granite squares, require more of an “art” than science and typically require a crane to install.

While this gets the job done, it is time consuming and difficult to position the square where you need it.

It also needs to be aligned to the machine axis, requiring high skill.

One of the biggest limitions of granite squares is you can usually only measure a short part of the overal travel of the axes you are trying to check for squareness.

Hamar Laser’s alignment systems solves these problems, making measuring squareness a breeze and easier for even the lower skilled techs to get good results.
