Laser Alignment

Ensuring that rotating machinery is correctly aligned is a critical preventative maintenance measure. Machines that are misaligned, even by a very small margin, will be subject to increased stresses that can lead to breakdowns.

Misalignment is one of the biggest causes of bearing failure in mechanical items and will also contribute to increased wear of mechanical seals, couplings (including flexi-coupling) and motors. Misaligned machines consume up to 10% more power therefore increasing the wear and tear of your asset.

Laser alignment is a precision approach for ensuring true alignment and positioning of industrial plant machinery within generally accepted or OEM specifications.

Laser Alignment equipment utilizes laser beam transmitters and receivers to measure alignment within extremely high tolerances. AMT engineers are experienced in a wide range of plant alignment services. Not only horizontal and vertical shaft alignment but also flatness and straightness measurements.

Laser alignment applications include:

  • Rotating shafts, propeller shafts etc.

  • Pumps, gearboxes, motors and other drives

  • Bore alignment

  • Cardan shafts and offset drives

  • Machine positioning

  • Straightness measurement of saw tracks etc.

  • Flatness measurements of machine tables etc.
