Linear Calibration
NIST-traceable laser interferometry verifies positioning accuracy, repeatability, straightness, and squareness to 1.0 parts per million across full axis travel for all CNC machines.
Sarkinen Calibrating delivers NIST-traceable industrial machine calibration services throughout Northern California with accuracy to 1.0 parts per million. From laser interferometry to ballbar testing, we help manufacturing facilities eliminate unexpected downtime, verify machine specifications, and maintain precision across all CNC equipment. Our local expertise ensures faster response times and highly predictable maintenance that keeps your production running efficiently.
Comprehensive precision calibration solutions designed to maximize machine accuracy, eliminate unexpected downtime, and maintain production quality.
NIST-traceable laser interferometry verifies positioning accuracy, repeatability, straightness, and squareness to 1.0 parts per million across full axis travel for all CNC machines.
Renishaw QC20-W wireless ballbar rapidly evaluates machine circularity, backlash, servo mismatch, and axis reversal errors to validate service work and monitor performance.
Specialized rotary calibration measures angular positioning accuracy, repeatability, and alignment for modern multi-axis machining systems using Renishaw's advanced technology.
Expert leveling and flatness measurement including Moody Plot analysis ensures surface plates maintain accurate reference planes for inspection and layout operations.
Precision electronic level detects pitch and roll errors in machine beds, guideways, and structures caused by installation, relocation, or foundation movement.
Hands-on training for CAM software, CNC operation, laser interferometry, and ballbar systems tailored to your equipment and team's skill level.
We begin by evaluating your machine's condition, reviewing maintenance history, and understanding your production requirements. This helps identify potential accuracy issues and determines the appropriate calibration approach for your specific equipment and Northern California operating environment.
Leading Northern California manufacturers rely on our precision calibration expertise to maintain production quality.
"I have worked with Mr Sarkinen on a job in Portland He is a Highly Skilled, Knowledgable Professional. I would definitely recomend him for all your Machine Tool Calibration Metrics. Sincerely Curtis Page Naughtellis CNC Service"
"This guy knows his stuff. Would definately recommend! Friendly good people!"
"As plant manager at Triad, I am always looking for ways of testing and measuring the condition of our large machines. Our outside repair tech suggested that I have Sarkinen Calibrating run their Ball Bar Test on all of our machines to show if we had any critical wear issues..."

Founder
Larry's journey from machine operator to calibration service founder gives him a unique perspective that goes far beyond equipment maintenance. Having operated CNC machines firsthand, he understands the real-world production challenges manufacturers face daily—the frustration of unexpected downtime, the cost of scrap from axis errors, and the pressure to maintain tight tolerances. This operator-level experience drives his approach to calibration: it's not just about verifying numbers, it's about delivering solutions that genuinely increase production quality and efficiency. Larry built Sarkinen Calibrating on the principle that precision calibration should eliminate problems before they disrupt operations, providing manufacturers with the confidence that their equipment will perform exactly as promised. His hands-on background means he approaches every calibration with practical insight into how machine accuracy directly impacts your production floor, helping you achieve highly predictable operation with minimal disruption.
Our laser interferometry delivers accuracy to 1.0 parts per million (one millionth of an inch per inch) with full NIST traceability. All measurements exceed the 10:1 ratio required for proper calibration, ensuring your machines meet or exceed manufacturer specifications.
