For
flatness, straightness, and perpendicularity with a range of 100 feet and an
accuracy of 0.0004" (0.01 mm) along the entire measurement range, the
C:Strait-laser is unsurpassed for checking the geometry of machine tools,
alignment of rotary couplings, parallelism
of rollers, concentricity of bores,
straightness of shafts and powertrains, flatness of platens and fixtures,
and thermal growth of gearboxes and platforms. The C:Strait-laser system is
particularly suited to alignment of rotary couplings on compressors, generators,
and pumps. With a single measurement, both angular and radial misalignment can
be determined, even without rotating the coupling. Although the laser cannot be
tied directly in to gravity (ie level), accurately leveling an isolated
section with a spirit level will allow the laser to indirectly level
subsequent sections.
Just
some of the applications we have had experience with are:
·
Spindle
concentricity and parallelism to
the Z axis in lathes
·
Straightness
of shafting in marine power trains
·
Flatness
of platens on Injection Moulding presses
· Perpendicularity of columns and concentricity of quills on Horizontal
Boring Mills
·
Parallelism
of winding heads in multiple wire winding machines
·
Alignment
of high speed gearboxes and clutches
What Laser
Alignment Can Do For You...
·
Increase Production
by Increasing Capability Speeds and decreasing downtime
·
Decreasing Scrap
Produced by Out of Tolerance Processes by bringing the process under control
·
Decreasing
Maintenance Costs by reducing mechanical stresses in the machine leading to
unpredictable breakdowns due to misalignment
·
Decrease downtime
and associated labour costs by speeding diagnosis and repair of machine
breakdowns
·
Document actual
alignment and positioning to fulfill NMTBA and ISO mandates
