Machinery Alignment Measurement via Lasers
Our first choice tool today for measuring alignment of machinery is our Rotalign® laser-assisted alignment equipment. The Rotalign® consists of a laser transmitter attached to the shaft of one machine that looks at a laser receiver attached to the shaft of the opposing machine, while rotating both machines through a full, or even partial, revolution.
This equipment can be used with both coupled and uncoupled machines, and will internally process and display the existing alignment in terms of offsets and angles, or misalignment angles at each end of a double flexure coupling. The internal processor will also compute the adjustments necessary at each of the mounting foot locations of one machine, to achieve the desired alignment.
