Transits
With Brunson transits, you can perform the most exacting alignment projects with minimal set-up and measurement time. These instruments are uniquely capable of being calibrated and adjusted on-site, giving you the power to confirm the instrument's optical and mechanical relationships which are crucial for accurate alignments.Our transits provide great flexibility and operate in extreme environments. From critical alignments performed in clean rooms on space shuttle and satellite components to the heavy manufacturing demands of steel mill and power plant alignments, Brunson transits give you an efficient and convenient system to perform countless industrial metrology tasks.
These instruments provide you with:
- Precision measurement (±0.001") capability and reliability<

Targets
What are the different types of targets?
In every job, accuracy comes down to proper targeting. Targets are the link between measuring systems and the physical world – they transform an object's physical position into a form recognizable by a metrology instrument. They are placed in, on, or around important details of whatever is being measured, such as part of a machine, tool, airframe, or virtually anything else. The measuring instrument is then capable of locating and/or measuring the location of the target, thereby deducing the physical location of the related detail on the tool or machine. The related category of target holders is equally important. These are "in-between" products – they hold the target in a manner which is appropriate for measuring various details. These products are all made quite precisely because the relationship of the target to the actual physical detail must be known very accurately.

Portable Metrology StandsPortable stands are the answer when you just can’t afford the weight or size of our heavy duty stands. Perhaps an instrument must be used in a variety of locations in a fairly short amount of time. Maybe your business requires that your instrumentation be very flexible and mobile. Or maybe your sales staff just doesn’t have room in the trunk for a heavy duty stand. Whatever the reason, our portable stands can often be the right answer for your application. Have a look at some of the features of our portable stands below.

About Stands (Heavy Duty)
That’s why we at Brunson are so hell-bent on fabricating the highest quality instrumentation stands. We understand that our customers do not want to spend tens of thousands of dollars – or even hundreds of thousands – on state-of-the-art measuring equipment, just to have their cutting-edge technology go to waste because it is not mounted on something worthy of their instrumentation investment.
In the precision measurement business, it is crucial that metrology instrumentation remain absolutely stable during the measurement process. The last thing you want is to have unspecified data variations creep into the system due to movement during the data capture phase. This is true regardless of whether you are using a portable CMM arm, Laser Tracker, Laser Scanner, Theodolite, Total station, Optical Tooling instrument, or anything else. -

About Scales
The perfect measurement partner. Our optical tooling scales provide the perfect partner for our optical alignment instruments, providing tremendous targeting and measurement flexibility. Once a reference line of sight is defined by any of our instruments, optical tooling scales give you the ability to measure lateral deviations to that line of sight from almost any object – and do so with a high degree of precision. Available in both English and metric units, these scales are precisely read using our optical micrometers. The optical micrometer on an instrument acts as a "vernier", and divides the scale's intervals into smaller parts, routinely producing measurement resolutions as small as 0.001" or 0.02 mm. (Of course, you must be sure to use English scales with English micrometers, and metric wit -

Precision Sight Levels
Levels are great for a variety of tasks revolving around the requirement for establishing planes that are orthogonal to the gravity vector. These instruments are optimized for easy leveling of the line of sight at any azimuth position.
Quality
Our levels enjoy the same reputation for producing quality results on the job as do our transits. Made entirely in the USA, our levels are fabricated using stainless steel, bronze, brass, and fine optics, all held to exacting tolerances. These instruments provide you with:- Precision elevation measurement (±0.001")
- Tremendous flexibility and reliability in various applications and environments
- Quick setup and measurement time
- Easy operation
- Both survey and

About Invar
Minimize thermal changes with "Invar"
Everyone knows that almost all materials will expand when the temperature rises, and shrink when the temperature falls. Often this is not a problem, but in the measurement world, this effect can cause mischief. Nobody likes to measure things with a ruler that is capable of expanding and contracting. It's the same as the old story about the man with two watches – he never knows what time it really is. So wouldn't it be great to have a measuring device that was the same length regardless of the temperature?
It sure would! We come close to that scenario by using "Invar". Invar is a very special alloy of iron and nickel, with a few other things thrown in, such as silicon and manganese. The benefit of Invar is that it has a very low coefficient of thermal expansion. This of course means that it changes very little when the temperature rises or falls. In fact, the alloy gets its name f

Alignment Telescopes
Primarily, alignment telescopes (also called “line scopes” or “line of sight” telescopes) are used to establish and maintain principal optical reference lines. These reference lines may be used by other instruments for a variety of alignment functions (ex., to turn right angles from the reference line), or they may simply be used as measurement references themselves (ex., bore straightness evaluation). In addition, many of them can generally provide the all-important functions of collimation, autocollimation and autoreflection.
Almost all of our alignment telescopes are of the original Keuffel & Esser (K+E) design. These instruments were manufactured and distributed by Cubic Precision before that company joined Brunson Instrument in 1997. At that time, we consolidated our alignment telescope products and adopted the K+E des
