During a recent class in a shipyard, there was a need to perform a Cardan Shaft Alignment in a boat with very little space to work in. It also required shooting the lasers through a hole in a bulkhead.

It was a challenge, but the guys rose to it
Can the laser alignment tool withstand use in wet conditions? How resistant is the laser alignment tool to moisture? Sometimes these questions are asked in the context of making a purchase decision to go with one model over another. Other times the questions are driven by some difficulty in completing an alignment in a high moisture environment.
We are pleased to present Kristian Palmdahl
A lift check isn’t always done when performing a precision shaft alignment, nonetheless excessive lift can be the cause of alignment frustration.
Using Your Laser Alignment Tool to Measure Pipe Strain Induced from Tightening Flanges
The NXA Runout Probe was introduced as an accessory to the NXA Pro and Ultimate alignment tools. As originally envisioned, the runout probe was designed with shaft and coupling runout measurements, and direct soft foot measurements in mind.
Often the OJT portion of our training classes begins with an alignment check of a rotating piece of machinery in the client’s facility. This comes after numerous alignments in the classroom, on the training fixtures, performed by the attendees.
They are then ready to apply their skills learned on the classroom training equipment in their plant. A typical scenario for the OJT training is that th
The FIXTURLASER Laser Kit consists of two wireless sensor units utilizing two line lasers. The use of line lasers simplifies the setup process minimizing setup time. To make it even easier, the sensors comes pre-mounted on its fixtures and pre-set to the most common setup.
OmniView is also valuable on vertically mounted machines.
The Fixturlaser Smart Machine Checker is designed to be used by machinery mechanics to give a clear and accurate automatic diagnosis of rotating equipment. Requires no vibration expertise or internet connection.
Pre-Alignment Steps are the shaft alignment medication that reduces frustration and saves time in the long run!
ACOEM Fixturlaser proudly presents the predictive maintenance solution you've been waiting for, the RT-300. This machine reliability tool helps with precision shaft alignment and all machine diagnostics.
