Qualifying straightness and flatness of the machine tool bed by means of a laser. This was done by customer's request. We normally use a wire micrometer and levels to verify straightness and flatness on machine tools.
Picture of the target being used to verify straightness.
After verification of the bed way the table is lowered onto the bed and supported by the use of Moglice shim pads SuperGlued to the adhesion surface. The table alignment is checked and by scraping shims verification of table is achieved.
Showing are the seals (double headed arrow) at the top edges as well as the dam filling the oil return groove (curved arrow) at the bottom of the vee way so Moglice does not fill it in.
The injection process of this type of bearing has begun. Injection starts at one end and is injected towards other end through a series of injection holes.

A finished Moglice bearing adhered onto the original phenolic plates used in the machine. Moglice has proven to have excellent adhesion properties and can greatly reduce the cost of replacing these phenolic plates.
