X, Y, Z Axis. What do they stand for?
Everything must have perspective, a point of view, to be communicated. To communicate the three spatial dimensions, we use the X,Y, Z coordinates.

The First Rule in Precision Shaft Alignment is “Don’t Assume”!
This is an obvious statement and most of us know what happens when we do “ASSUME” with most things in life. However, we (The VibrAlign Trainers) see assumptions being made quite often during a precision shaft alignment.
Several years ago, I read a book titled “A Millwright’s Guide to Motor/Pump Alignment” by Tommy “T-Hammer” Harlon (available through Industrial Press). Tommy’s book deals with a -
Understanding the Need for Offset Shaft Alignment!
While at facilities across the country I noticed a lack of understanding regarding the need for precision alignment of offset shaft driven rotating equipment. I myself have seen electricians and mechanics alike becoming frustrated trying to determine the cause of speed fluctuations and vibration in offset shaft driven equipment.

Pipe Strain Was the Issue
Have you ever struggled with a precision shaft alignment, even though you did everything right? (Preformed the pre-alignment steps, controlled backlash, etc., etc.) So, what was different? Maybe it was pipe strain.

Fixturlaser Runout Probe
The Fixturlaser Runout Probe, an accessory for the Fixturlaser NXA Pro and Fixturlaser NXA Ultimate, is an electronic tool designed to detect and measure shaft runout and pipe strain. Runout and pipe strain are often overlooked, but when present they can confound the measurement and correction of shaft alignment.
