Abstract
A guide rail straightness tester is provided. The guide rail straightness tester includes a first rail clamp assembly attached to a guide rail. An opposing second rail clamp assembly is attached to the guide rail. A sensor assembly is positioned between the first and second rail clamp assemblies and configured for slidable seating on the guide rail. The sensor assembly includes a sensor plate. A line extends from the first rail clamp assembly through an aperture in the sensor plate and is connected to the second rail clamp assembly. The sensor assembly is configured to determine the straightness of the guide rail during movement of the sensor assembly along the guide rail.
