Laser Alignment
Prevent machine breakdowns with expert Laser Alignment services
Shaft misalignment is responsible for nearly 50% of all rotating machinery breakdowns. Misalignment, whether angular or parallel, leads to additional wear and tear on moving parts, increasing energy consumption and running costs. This results in costly machine breakdowns and downtime. Contact LER today to learn more about how we can help you reduce costs and improve operational efficiency.
Benefits of Laser alignment
- Increased Lifespan of Components: Proper alignment reduces the stress on bearings and seals, leading to a longer operational life for these critical components.
- Reduced Vibration: Laser alignment minimises vibrations in compressor motors, which can otherwise lead to mechanical failures and increased wear on parts.
- Lower Energy Consumption: Aligned motors operate more efficiently, resulting in lower energy costs due to reduced friction and better performance.
- Enhanced Performance: By ensuring that motors are aligned correctly, overall machine performance is optimised, leading to improved reliability and productivity.
- Decreased Maintenance Costs: Regular laser alignment helps prevent premature wear and tear, reducing the frequency of repairs and associated costs.
- Improved Safety: Properly aligned equipment reduces the risk of mechanical failures that could pose safety hazards in the workplace.
- Faster Setup Times: Laser alignment technology allows for quicker adjustments compared to traditional methods, minimising downtime during maintenance operations.
- Documentation and Reporting: Laser alignment provides precise measurements that can be documented for future reference, aiding in maintenance planning and compliance with industry standards.
Traditional Alignment Vs Laser Alignment
Get in touchTraditional alignment methods such as straight edge and feeler gauge may be quick but inaccurate. Dial indicators can offer better accuracy, but this requires specialist operators and can be time-consuming. Piano wire alignment requires a laborious set-up and can provide inaccuracies due to any sudden vibrations in the area.
Laser shaft alignment provides faster, easier, and more accurate results. The laser beam remains level and produces a precise and uniform reference on all sorts of procedures such as motor shaft, motor coupling and bearing alignment.
