About this event
A machine breakdown causes devastating loss of production.
Nearly 50% of all machine breakdowns are caused by misalignment.
Shaft alignment can be performed with different tools.
The easiest way is to use a ruler or a straight edge over the two coupling halves and align them by eyesight.
The result is not very accurate and it is very operator dependent.
A better result can be achieved by the use of mechanical dial indicators.
A skilled and experienced operator can obtain good and reliable measurements, but it takes time and patience.
A far easier and highly accurate way is to use laser-based alignment systems. They do not require special skills and deliver accurate and reliable results.
