Fixturlaser LEVEL is used for levelling machines or machine parts during installation and gives accurate measurement results. The measuring sensor measures the angular deviations from the surface in two axes using a wide measurement range (± 50 mm/m), high accuracy and with a resolution down to 0.01 mm/m.
When performing the Ariel ER-82 Top Plane Compressor Frame Measurement, surrounding reciprocating compressors in operation may cause repeatability issues due to excessive vibration.
Establishing good habits with sensor placement will get you one step closer to determining the health of any machine.
Recently, we was called to consult with a customer to recommend a procedure and alignment tools for a very long-distance vertical pump alignment. First, we will describe the machine and then how we aligned it. This large raw sewage pump machine train begins at the driver level. In this plant, floor levels are described by relationship to sea level. At the top level (+35), the primary mover, a
In shaft alignment, machines that run hot often have In shaft alignment, machines that run hot often have thermal growth targets. Thermal targeting simply means that the shafts may be misaligned while at room temperature, but as they heat up to operating temperature, they will “grow” into alignment.
But where does the thermal growth target come from?
Many times, the machine manufact
ECOTECH Pty Ltd, ACOEM’s Australian subsidiary, is now helping to shape the longevity and sustainability of industrial and mining machinery across Australia and the Asia-Pacific region. The integration of Statewide Bearings’ (SWB Plus) Condition Monitoring & Fixturlaser Laser Alignment team into ECOTECH represents another step forward in ACOEM’s mission
Over the years we have fielded several technical support calls from maintenance personnel having repeatability and soft foot issues (during an alignment) all of which had a common issue; other influences. Meaning not the typical looseness, coupling backlash, soft foot issues.
During the “heat of the battle” to get the precision shaft alignment job finished it is easy to overlook simple items th
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.
This is as much a title for a blog as it is a question. One our Technical Trainers once stated that to align rotating machinery, they must first be alignable. What is meant in part by this is that when we have a collinear tolerance of 0.5mil /1” angularity and 2.0 mils offset, the machines must be mounted to a stable foundation to be able to hold the tolerance.
Flexion of the base in some cases
Proper use of any tool is essential to success in achieving your desired goal. Many tools have optional configurations to adapt that tool to your needs. Fixturlaser Precision Alignment Systems are no different. The alignment tools produced by Acoem/Fixturlaser are second to none in ease of use. The Acoem AB design engineers do all they can to provide the end user with an alignment tool that can be
Most people who work on, or around pumps are familiar with the term “cavitation”. It is often used as a catch all phrase for any flow-related vibration on pumps, and is often reported by vibration analysts when:
Pump noise level is high,
Pump vibration is erratic, with lots of “noise” in the spectrum.
But there are a handful of flow-related vibration problems on pumps, and only one of tho
Precision shaft alignment is area of importance. As studies have shown not preforming precision shaft alignment of rotating machinery will most certainly lead to early equipment failure.
When measuring runout with the Fixturlaser NXA Runout Probe the best practice is to first measure the coupling for non-circular rotation. If runout is detected, the next step is to measure the shaft to determine if the runout is caused by a bent shaft versus an eccentric coupling
Laser Shaft Alignment systems should be properly maintained for optimal performance. Dirty sensors (laser and detector lens) can lead to non-repeatable measurement results. All system components should be stored properly in the carry case to prevent damage to said components.
Even when we are going to perform an alignment on a piece of equipment, it is a good practice to record a pre-alignment measurement to document or maybe explain any possible issues later.
The Fixturlaser PAT uses the pulley groove as the reference, allowing you to achieve a precise belt alignment which reduces wear, bearing failures and vibrations.

Regardless of whether upkeep specialists are utilizing Rim and Face or Reverse Dial Indicator Sets, or any of the laser shaft arrangement frameworks they are on the whole making progress toward a similar result. Which is to have the rotational shaft centerlines of the driver and driven machine(s) adjusted (collinear) in the vertical and flat planes when the machines are working.
When laser alignment tools are not repeatable, it’s not the laser – IT’S YOU.
